Oral implantology is the most modern dental treatment method and deals with inserting artificial roots in jaw bones in areas where teeth have been lost.

Artificial roots have the form of screws plus a stump that will support the prosthetics, creating the illusion of natural teeth. The dental implant is made of titanium, a bio-compatible material with no side effects.

Who can benefit from dental implants?

• People of any age (over 17) who do not suffer from any serious disease and moderate smokers.
• After the determination of the treatment plan comes a minor surgery for placing the implant.
• The intervention is performed under local anesthesia, it is not painful and requires no rest at home period of time, the patient being able to resume his normal activities.
• The placement of the implant can be done right after the extraction of the affected tooth. Then comes a waiting period of 3 to 6 months for osseo-integration (strengthening and stiffening the implant in the bone) and then the abutments that will support the prosthetics are installed (ceramic crown or bridge on implants).
• To be noted the fact that the resistance of the implants depends on the general health and lifestyle of the patient, with a success rate of over 95%.
• If the offer bone (the bone where the implant should be inserted) is insufficient, bone augmentations and sinus-lifts (lifting the sinus membrane) can be done in the posterior upper jaw.

What are the advantages of dentures on implants?

• Prostheses placed on implants are the most similar ones to natural teeth and the most aesthetic and functional dentures made in the dental office.
• Allow the replacement of a single missing tooth without the grinding of neighboring teeth.
• Allow the manufacture of fixed prostheses in places where there are no pole teeth (popularly known as “linking teeth”) on the back side of the jaw.
• Allow the placement of fixed prostheses in places where there are not enough pole teeth (popularly known as “linking teeth”) on the arch or in the situation in which you simply do not want to have your remaining teeth polished.
• The procedures are performed under local anesthesia, are totally painless and are among the most “affordable” maneuvers in dentistry today. Pain and trauma following an implant have been described as being much lower than those encountered in the case of tooth extraction. After the surgery, a powerful anti-inflammatory substance will be locally injected so as to obtain maximum comfort for you after the surgery.
• Prosthetic abutments on which work is done can be made of titanium or modern zirconium, a white, aesthetic and bio-compatible material.
• Our clinic specialists are aware of the latest techniques in the field of oral implantology and benefit from equipment, instruments and latest materials from Switzerland, Germany and Israel.
• All you need to do is follow the post-operative guidelines (see the “Post-operative indications after the insertion of implants” section + LINK) and go to the doctor for consultation and the suppression of resorbable threads in a week’s time.
