Dental implantation

Implantation is considered the most effective and reliable solution for patients who are missing one or more teeth. Dental implant has individual size, diameter and is positioned into the jawbone instead of missing tooth.

Benefits of dental implants

• adjacent teeth remain healthy and don’t require additional treatment (like in the case of a traditional dental bridge installation)
• excellent esthetic result is achieved
• adaptation (getting used to) dental implant is going faster than to bridges; replacing missing tooth implant improves comfort of digestion and facilitates speech
• service term of dental implants is much longer than of bridges or dentures
• dental implants prosthetics have one of the highest success prognoses in medicine: 92-99%.

Contraindications for dental implantation are:

• diseases of bone tissue or blood coagulation disorders
• HIV infection
• oncological diseases
• mental illness
• pregnancy
• smoking (a pack of cigarettes and more per day).

Stages of dental implantation

1. Initial consultation, medical history collection, comprehensive dental exam, diagnostics, professional oral hygiene.
2. On the basis of computer tomography (CT) scan, dental surgeon decides individual implant placement plan, chooses a suitable implant.
3. Implant placement (procedure takes place under anesthesia).
4. Gum formation. About 3–6 months (time needed for finishing the processes of implant attachment to the bone tissue). Dental surgeon prepares gum for placing future tooth with the help of special shaper. The procedure is absolutely painless and takes about 30 minutes.
5. Abutment placement is one of the most important stages of implantation. An abutment connects the implant with the dental crown.
6. Final placement of dental crown.
