A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium. It is inserted in the jaw bone instead of the missing tooth. Then a crown is fixed on it with the help of an abutment, that is a small adapter between the implant and the crown.
The dental implant consists of two parts: the implant itself and the abutment. Sooner or later almost everyone faces the need to have an extracted tooth replaced.
Several options are available
Option 1. You may leave it as is, i.e., one or more teeth will be missing from the dental arch. This option is most likely to create difficulties as the adjacent (with the missing one) teeth will shift their position, the antagonist tooth will protrude, thereby reducing the efficiency of the chewing apparatus.
Option 2. Two adjacent teeth may be prepared into a shape suitable for making dental bridgework (a so-called ‘bridge’). This option used to be popular. However, with the advent of implantation of artificial tooth roots, bridgework is becoming increasingly rare. Patients feel less inclined to have adjacent, often healthy, teeth prepared with the load increased on them.
Option 3. You may have the lost tooth root restored with an implant. The dental implantation method shows good clinical results with extremely low rejection rates. Both anterior and posterior teeth can be restored with implants.
Due to the form of the implant in the form of a plateau (Ultrashort plateau root form implants), these Swiss dental implants can be used in cases where a sinus lift or a bone graft would otherwise be required.
The well-known Swiss Straumann dental implants with many years of history and a huge range of materials, technologies, and solutions suitable for almost any clinical situation related to dental implantation.
German ICX dental implant system with high quality and versatility of use. ICX dental implants (from the German company medentis medical GmbH) are suitable for installation in most clinical cases.
There are different types of dental implantation: single-stage, two-stage, subperiostal and implantation with blade systems. Of all the varieties, the most effective and efficient one is the two-stage approach.
Two-stage implantation of teeth is done as follows:
Every case is unique. Together with the patient, proceeding from peculiarities of his/her clinical situation and personal wishes, we jointly adopt an optimal and effective treatment plan!
In dealing with 60 systems of implants
At our Clinic, we have successfully placed 11 thousand implants since we were established in 2007
96% of our implantations have been successful, including complicated cases (extreme alveolar bone loss; marginal mandiblectomy – an organ preserving surgery; diabetes mellitus, etc.); extensive alveolar process atrophy of upper and lower jaws
