IMPLANTOLOGY

Dental Implant

The dental implant is a substitute for the root of the tooth and takes the form of a small screw. It is made of titanium alloy completely biocompatible and accepted by the human organism.

The dental implant is placed on the jawbone through a minor surgery which is painless for the patient under local anesthesia. Over time the implant is embedded in the jawbone. The healing process can take 2-3 months and after that the tooth can be securely placed on the implant.

Implant installation procedure

After a local anesthesia is performed on the implant site, the bone becomes exposed at the site where the implant will be placed. Following, with the use of a special drill, a hole is created in the bone in which the implant is placed. The gums are then sewn over the implant and are given a period of 2-3 months until healed.

Over the course of the 2-3 months period, the implant is exposed and the charging process takes place. That is, the placement of the artificial tooth on the implant. A process in which the dentist’s laboratory is now involved.

Recast of hard and soft tissues

In cases of a patient with long-term teeth-loss, the bone is gradually absorbed and recedes. This means that it is now more difficult to place an implant as there is not enough bone.

In modern dentistry, with the help of reconstructive techniques, we are able to successfully create a new bone in order to successfully place an implant.

This is usually achieved through the autogenous graft. The graft is obtained through the patient’s own mouth or some other site and it is completely compatible with no chance of rejection.

In addition to the autogenous graft, the heterogeneous synthetic graft that acts complementary to the autogenous is also successfully used.

In this way we create the right bone structural basis to place an implant.
