Implantation

These days, implants are not a novelty or a luxury, but a safe and reliable treatment option that allows you to regain lost teeth, chew fully, and smile.

During dental implantation, a post is placed in the jawbone, which is an analog of the root, on which a crown is fixed, repeating the shape and color of the native tooth.

For fast engraftment and quality results, modern implants are made of titanium, a completely biocompatible material. What does this mean? Biocompatibility is the property of the implant not to interact with the human body in any way, not to be corroded or oxidized. Moreover, titanium even has a slight bacteriostatic effect (it has a destructive effect on bacteria), which means that the risks of inflammation or rejection are minimized, and implant engraftment is fast and predictable.

The main and only indication for implant placement is the absence of a tooth (one, several or even all of them). In addition to purely aesthetic considerations, there are also medical indications to keep in mind.

The absence of even one tooth negatively affects the chewing of food, which can cause digestive problems in the future. In addition, gaps in the tooth rows can lead to temporomandibular joint disorders, as the teeth do not clench properly.

Specialists of City Smile Dental Center strongly recommend not to delay the decision and start the implantation procedure as early as possible. After all, over time, the process of bone shrinkage (atrophy) begins at the place of the extracted tooth. And this entails the need to “build up” the bone, which greatly complicates and increases the cost of the procedure. In addition, the implantation process is only possible after complete treatment of tooth decay and professional teeth cleaning to minimize the presence of harmful bacteria in the mouth.

Usually, when a patient decides to get an implant and starts to study this issue, he or she is often confused about the terminology. Implantation can be one-stage and delayed, which are also divided into narrow subtypes and each has its own strict indications. Only a dentist will help you make the right choice and explain which way will be the right one in your case, taking into account all the peculiarities and the result you want to achieve.
