Implants - Implants

What are implants?
To put it simply, implants are false roots, on which tooth crowns are rebuilt. Implants are exceptional prosthetic restoration for a number of reasons:
First of all, they are designed for comfort, both physical and mental. Secondly, they save problems connected with classic prosthetics (taking the denture out, the need for polishing, etc). Besides, the aesthetics of this restoration are amazing. Doctors' experience also shows that the durability of the implants is impressive. The oldest recorded implant was placed in the oral cavity 30 years ago and for all this time it has been serving well.

You should not be afraid of implants - Screwing the implants in does not cause more problems than a tooth extraction. First, the doctor introduces the implant into the bone. Next, he sutures the postoperative area and waits a few months until the implant forms bone union. Only after this moment can the implant be capped or denture placed.

There are a lot of indications of applying implants, from a single tooth loss to a total toothlessness. The treatment plan is conditioned by the patient's individual needs, the doctor's decisions and the patient's financial abilities. Not many people are aware of the fact that the total cost of fitting a single implant is comparable to a trzypunktowy bridgework, but the profits are much greater and more durable.

It is often the case that patients who have decided to undergo the implant treatment find out in a dental office that the treatment is not possible because of the bone shortage or other unfavourable localisation conditions. In our clinic, we are usually able to deal with this problem through certain initial operations, which stimulate the bone growth or orthodontic treatment which helps find a proper place for the implant.

Do you know that in Europe only 2-3% of dentists do implants? On the other hand, 90-95% of general stomatologists inform their patients about the possibility of implant treatment and sending to specialisctic institutions is very popular.
In reality, an implant is an additional root made of pure titan placed in the bone. The healing period lasts from 3 to 6 months. After this time, the tooth can be capped. If the oral cavity conditions are good, the healing period can be shorter.

To fit the implant, a sufficient bone amount is necessary. However, owing to certain surgical methods, our clinic is able to rebuild the lacking bone. Bone reconstructive operations are part of our daily routine.
