What is a dental implant?
Dental implant is basically a screw that replaces the tooth root. It is made of titanium, which is osteoconductive – meaning that the bone connects with the implant surface in the process called osseointegration.
Dental implants enable us to protect patient’s healthy dental tissue. By placing a dental implant in the jaw, we don’t have to compromise neighbouring teeth to replace the missing tooth. As we provide support for the tooth (crown), we preserve the bone and hence, we don’t lose it, which is something that would otherwise surely happen. Osseointegration was discovered in the 1970s, when the implants started gaining their widespread use.
Modern dental implants are technologically engineered to integrate with the bone structures and to resist demanding conditions in the oral cavity. The success rate of the implant therapy is 98%, provided the patients follow doctor’s instructions.
What cases are dental implants used in?
The main purpose of the implant is to replace the functional, aesthetic and phonetic aspect of the tooth. Implants are an excellent choice for the patients who want fixed prosthetic solution if one or more teeth are missing. Dental implants represent and ideal option in protective approach to dental therapy, which means that we save your healthy teeth because, following the approaches of modern dentistry, we do not compromise healthy teeth by grinding.
All-On-4 method
All on 4 is a method that involves strategic placing of 4 dental implants in a jaw to reconstruct a completely toothless jaw or a jaw with teeth that lost their functional and aesthetic characteristics. Great advantage of this method is that the patient immediately gets prosthetic work, in 1 to 3 days after the implantation. This method enables patients to get an affordable reconstruction of the jaw, while at the same time, they don’t have to undergo an additional treatment called sinus augmentation or sinus lift, which is used to increase the amount of bone in upper jaw, specifically in the area of premolars and molars.
Provided all relevant criteria are met, the patient immediately gets complete function of the teeth by creating a temporary bridge.
The procedure involves taking a dental impression immediately after the implants have been placed. It is then used in a dental laboratory to create a temporary prosthetic work. After 4 to 6 months, temporary work is replaced with a permanent one. The period of 4 to 6 months allows the implant to fully integrate with the jaw and create a stable and permanent structure that will carry permanent prosthetic work.
The main goal of this treatment is to make sure the patient gets the desired results with minimal trauma and in the shortest time possible.
