Implantology
WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
A dental implant is an artificial titanium root inserted into the maxillary (upper) or mandibular (lower) jawbone. This medical device replaces the root of a missing tooth and is completed with a prosthesis that faithfully replicates the appearance and functionality of a natural tooth crown. Being highly biocompatible, titanium integrates seamlessly with the bone tissue, ensuring a durable and stable solution for replacing lost teeth.
WHO IS IMPLANT TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR?
Implant treatment is suitable for anyone who has lost one or more teeth and desires a fixed, stable solution. It is indicated for patients with good overall oral health and adequate bone volume to support the implant. If there is insufficient bone, it is possible to utilize alternative options such as “pterygoid” implants, or advanced techniques like sinus lifts or bone regeneration.
Types of dental implants
Different implantology techniques are available depending on the patient’s needs and anatomical characteristics:
- Standard implantology.
- Flapless implantology, performed without incisions and without sutures.
- Immediate load implantology: temporary prostheses are fitted immediately after implant placement.
- Immediate post-extraction implantology: implant placement performed immediately following a tooth extraction.
- Split-crest implantology and maxillary sinus floor elevation (both minor and major sinus lifts) using autogenous bone and biomaterials.
- Computer-guided implantology: utilizes specialized software to plan the implant surgery down to the smallest detail.
Advantages of dental implantology
Dental implants provide an effective, long-lasting solution to restore chewing function and smile aesthetics. Implants offer superior stability, prevent bone loss, and significantly improve overall quality of life. Thanks to the biocompatibility of titanium and modern clinical techniques, osseointegration is highly reliable, minimizing the risk of rejection or complications.
Bludental centers are at your service for oral health care, offering a wide range of dental treatments. From standard teeth cleanings to aesthetic treatments like invisible orthodontics and teeth whitening, all the way to more complex procedures for dental implants and prosthetics.
