Dental implantation is an advanced method, the essence of which is that a titanium alloy implant is implanted in place of a missing or lost tooth. This procedure is performed exclusively by an experienced implant surgeon.
What are dental implants?
An implant is a threaded titanium rod that is implanted into the bone tissue in place of the natural tooth. It acts as an artificial root. An abutment (link) and a crown are fixed on the rod. An artificial tooth is no different from a real one. The service life of this design reaches 20 years. This method of restoring teeth is the most preferable, since it does not affect neighboring healthy teeth, as, for example, with bridge prosthetics.
Dental implantation is recommended in the following cases:
- absence of one tooth;
- absence of 2-3 teeth in a row in the presence of adjacent healthy teeth (here implants eliminate the need for processing of healthy teeth for crowns);
- absence of teeth in the last row;
- complete absence of teeth.
At Prizma Medical Center, dental implantation is performed using modern systems: Nobel Biocare (Sweden), BioHorizons (USA), Straumann (Switzerland).
What are the types of dental implants?
Restoration of teeth with the help of implantation is divided into classical and one-stage methods:
Classical. With this method, implantation is carried out several months after tooth extraction or loss. All stages of treatment take from 3 to 6 months.
Simultaneous. This method involves the restoration of the tooth in one session. Express implantation is considered less traumatic, but it is possible only with a sufficient amount of bone tissue and the absence of an inflammatory process.
Qualified surgeons of the Prizma Medical Center conduct a thorough diagnosis. During the consultation, further stages of the procedures are determined, on which the success of the entire treatment depends.
Dental implants – the main advantages:
- implants serve 20 years or more, which is a weighty argument in their favor;
- quick addiction – 2-3 days and you will forget that there is a foreign object in your oral cavity;
- when installing an implant, adjacent teeth are not undermined and are not covered with crowns, as is the case with bridges
Nobel Biocare Dental Implant System
The most popular implants that we recommend to our patients are Swedish-made Nobel Biocare products. Since entering the market more than 40 years ago, the company has been a leader to this day. Despite high competition, these dental implants cover 40% of the global market.
The uniqueness of Nobel Biocare lies in the following factors:
- The conical shape of the implants allows less traumatic penetration into the bone tissue.
- Prosthetics with the Nobel Biocare system can be performed immediately after tooth extraction without additional osteosynthesis (bone augmentation).
- The survival rate of Nobel Biocare dental implants is 99.3%.
- The absolute innovation of the manufacturer is the porous surface of TiUnite, due to which the maximum similarity with natural bone tissue is achieved.
How to care for dental implants?
Caring for artificial teeth is exactly the same as for your own – brushing your teeth twice a day, rinsing your mouth after eating, using an irrigator, visiting a hygienist every six months.
Price for dental implants
Prizma Medical Center uses the best equipment and technologies in its work. The procedure for restoring teeth with implants is quite complicated, and the material itself is expensive. The cost of treatment is determined directly at the face-to-face consultation. Below you can find our price list.
