Implants are the most reliable and modern way to restore a lost tooth. Outdated systems of removable bridges and dentures will never provide the reliability and convenience that implant technology provides. A quality implant placed by a good implantologist is likely to last a lifetime. Yes, the warranty is “only” 10 years, but statistically it lasts much longer. This is a radical solution to the problem, and you won’t have to think about it again. Neither bridges nor crowns last that long
The aesthetics of the face deteriorates significantly even if one tooth is missing. But most importantly, it leads to complex functional disorders in the dento-mandibular system and subsequently in the body as a whole. Teeth become mobile, shift; periodontitis develops; tooth loss from chewing overload occurs; facial asymmetry – and this is not a complete list.
In this problem, implantation is a highly technical and reliable solution.
The conventional implant technique requires waiting 2-3 months for the bone to regenerate at the site of removal, but in some cases it is possible to place the implant immediately.
Combining the extraction of a decayed tooth and the placement of an implant in its place in one procedure is called a one-stage implantation.
In case of bone deficiency, the implantologist will offer the patient a sinus elevator – a jaw bone augmentation surgery with further implantation.
This procedure in our clinic is performed using piezosurgery, which eliminates the probable risk of soft tissue damage to the maxillary sinuses. At the same time, implant placement can take place in a single stage or after full recovery of the operated area – approximately 3-4 months later.
Peri-implantitis is an inflammation of the tissue and bone around the implant. If the implant was placed in a quality manner and in compliance with all protocols, the probability of encountering this phenomenon is extremely low: according to statistics, about 1 case per 100 implantations, but the problem itself is quite unpleasant and if you do not take measures in time, there is thinning of the bone and loss of the implant.
