Dental Implant Procedures 

The most natural solution in the case of losing one or several teeth.

An implant is a substitute for the lost tooth root, on which the lost tooth can be rebuilt. There are many solutions in the field of implantology, starting from rebuilding a single tooth to complete dental restorations. Implants are also used to stabilize dental prostheses, providing excellent stability and increasing the comfort of using removable restorations.

An implant is a titanium screw that integrates with the bone. The implantation procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is painless for the patient. After a healing period lasting from 8 to 24 weeks, an individually designed digitally planned Atlantis connector is screwed onto the implant, to which a porcelain crown or bridge is attached. Standard, prefabricated connectors are not used.

We work only with the best materials - the Neodent system belonging to the Swiss conglomerate Straumann and the Megagen system.

Treatment possibilities in implant prosthetics:

Reconstruction of a single tooth
Reconstruction of several teeth
Permanent reconstruction of an edentulous alveolar ridge

Possible with as few as 6 implants in the maxilla and 4 implants in the mandible.

Prosthesis supported by implants.

Attaching a prosthesis to implants greatly stabilizes and significantly enhances the comfort of using the prosthesis. Various options for securing the prosthesis (locators, ball attachments, SYNCONE telescopes) will be presented during the consultation.

Bone regeneration procedures.

After tooth extraction, there is a loss of bone and mucous membrane in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. Due to the long-term absence of replacement for the missing tooth, significant bone atrophy occurs, which complicates a straightforward implantation procedure. In such cases, bone and/or soft tissue regeneration procedures are necessary. Depending on the extent of bone or soft tissue loss, bone regeneration with simultaneous or delayed implantation is possible.

In cases where the aim of implantation is to restore missing upper teeth in posterior segments, it is often necessary to perform a "Sinus Lift" - a procedure to lift the floor of the maxillary sinus. The procedure involves increasing the volume of bone in the lateral segments of the maxilla by introducing a bone substitute material into the area of the maxillary sinus cavity, creating space for implant placement.

Depending on the amount of available primary bone, this procedure can be performed simultaneously with implantation or, if bone tissue is extremely limited, implantation can occur several months after the bone augmentation procedure.

The choice of the regenerative method is tailored to each specific case to achieve the best clinical outcome.

Regenerative procedure of soft tissues (oral mucosa). Procedures in the field of implantology often involve the necessity to reconstruct lost gum tissue around future prosthetic crowns. These procedures enable a long-term, stable therapeutic effect.

Course of implant-prosthetic treatment:

I. First Consultation: During this visit, a clinical and diagnostic examination is conducted (CBCT computer tomography, possibly panoramic X-rays). Often, impressions are taken to visualize the intended prosthetic restoration, and radiological and surgical templates are made. After analyzing the diagnostic tests, an individualized treatment plan, the cost of the procedure, as well as the pros and cons of different therapy options, are presented on the same or subsequent visit.

II. Implantation: The implantation procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, ensuring the patient experiences no pain. For a qualified implantologist, this is a routine procedure. The implanted implants are left for what is known as 'open' or 'closed' healing. In the case of open healing, a healing abutment is attached to the implant on the day of the procedure, contouring the gum profile around the future prosthetic crown. If the initial implant stability is low, a 'closed' healing is performed – the implant is covered by the mucous membrane, and only after a healing period of at least 6 weeks is a healing abutment attached to the implant.

III. After the healing period, impressions are taken for the prosthetic restorations. Thanks to the digitalization of prosthetic procedures (CEREC system), it's possible to deliver a finished porcelain work on the day the impression is taken.

STEP 2

A dental implant is placed. The healing time depends on the quantity and condition of the bone, as well as the clinical conditions.

Depending on the individual patient's health condition, the final step of Step 2 might be one of the following:

Temporary abutment and crown are immediately placed.
The dental implant is covered with soft tissue, and during the healing process, a crown is applied, either cemented to the enamel or a temporary, removable, partial prosthesis.
Permanent abutment and final crown are immediately placed.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Therapy:

PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is platelet-rich fibrin obtained from the patient's blood. It is used in dental surgery to stimulate tissue growth, regeneration, and accelerate healing. In our practice, we use PRF for complex tooth extractions, regenerative procedures, and implantation.

Due to its sourcing from the patient's blood, it is the most biocompatible and safe regenerative material.
