Implants

When saving a tooth is not possible, implants come to the rescue. Simply put, an implant is a new root inserted in place of a tooth that has been removed. Implants are made of titanium, which is treated by the body like bone, so it quickly fuses with it. A crown or dental bridge is screwed onto the implant to replace the missing teeth.

Course of treatment

FIRST VISIT

We start with a CT scan and a thorough surgical analysis of oral conditions, during which the quality and surface of the bone is checked. Once the doctor and patient have made a decision, we proceed to the procedure. The placement of one implant takes about 30-60 minutes. If the right conditions are met, the surgeon administers a mild anesthesia, which makes the procedure completely painless. The implant is sewn under the gum and is completely invisible.

SECOND VISIT

After about three months, a healing screw is attached to the implant, around which the gum is shaped just like around a natural tooth.

THIRD VISIT

After another three months, we unscrew the healing screw and take an impression for the crown. We often take a photo so that the technician can make a perfect crown that is indistinguishable from your own teeth.

FOURTH VISIT

At the last visit, we screw the crown to the implant.
