Why implants and not a prosthesis or a bridge?

The advantages of implantation are their durability, a much better aesthetic effect, as well as patient comfort. Placing dental implants allows in most cases to completely get rid of wearing removable dentures. Additionally, thanks to implantation, filling in missing teeth eliminates the need to prepare the adjacent teeth.

How much more expensive is implant prosthetics compared to traditional methods?

Compared to other types of prostheses, implants are more expensive, but only at first glance. For example, after inserting an implant, when one tooth is lost, only one artificial crown is attached, not three (two on the pillars), because the adjacent teeth do not need to be additionally ground. In addition, dentures on implants are considered more durable, implants do not undergo caries or periodontitis, and do not require frequent replacement.

Do I need to do a preliminary examination before the procedure to find out how many implants need to be implanted?

A preliminary examination is always performed prior to implantation. The operation is planned only after a thorough X-ray examination of the jaws and teeth, and above all in the areas of the proposed insertion of implants.

Does any special treatment need to be carried out prior to implant placement?

Plaque, tartar, tooth decay, and pulpitis all cause bacteria to spread and become infected later. If patients do not pay attention to it, it can lead to the onset of inflammation and infection. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the oral cavity for the procedure. It involves the treatment of all carious teeth and good oral hygiene.

How painful is implant surgery?

Most people fear implantation because of the pain they once experienced at the dentist. Implantation is a completely painless and non-traumatic process. There are no nerve endings in the bone tissue.

After local anesthesia, you will feel nothing but the pressure of the fingers of the doctor who places the implant. In addition, a single implant operation lasts only about 30 minutes, and after its completion, you can safely go home.

When can prosthetics be performed after implant placement?

After 3 months for the lower jaw and 6 months for the upper jaw

What are the guarantees for implant placement and how long will the implant last?
The effectiveness reaches 98%. Rejections are very rare and most often result from non-compliance with medical recommendations or improper hygiene performed by the patient after the procedure.
When it comes to implant lifetime, there are patients who have been using implant-supported prostheses for over 25 years.
