Dental Implants
Treatment

If you visit our Clinic for a dental implants consultation, we will make an x-ray, 3D and digital scanning. We will ask you about your medical history. Our specialist in implantology will give you advices about what is the best treatment plan for you, are implants the best choice in your clinical case, how many implants would you need, what type of implants, will bone grafting or sinus lifting be needed. A surgery appointment will be made. You will be prescribed some medicines a few days before the surgery. We will also make a dental cleaning and polishing before the operation itself, to decrease the bacterial number in the mouth. Several implants can be placed during one surgery.

We will make careful planning of the surgery and create two types of guides- prosthetic and surgical with the help of your 3D and digital scan. We will have them printed in our lab and ready for your surgery. They will help to locate the implants really precisely in the exact place we have planned.

The procedure of placing a dental implant/s begins with anesthesia. It can also be done with IV sedation. A small flap is opened to reveal the bone tissue. Then, with a series of drills, the “bed” for the implant is made. Then the implant is screwed in the bed, and the wound is sutured. It is neither painful, nor scary procedure. Our patients say that the post-operative pain is lower that after an extraction.

The implant may need to stay under the gum tissue without any loading for 3 months, so that a process of ossteointegration takes place. Then, a temporary crown is made to shape the gum tissues in the most esthetic and biological way. 3 months later, the permanent crown is put. Another option is the immediate loading- the temporary crown is put after the operation.
