Dental implants are the most advanced method of tooth reconstruction, restoring a beautiful smile and full oral functionality.
Treatment begins with a thorough assessment of the oral condition, based on which a personalized plan is created. Depending on the size and location of the missing teeth, the dentist selects the most appropriate method to achieve the best results.
The cost of a dental implant will depend on the extent of the procedure, the chosen technology, and any additional procedures required. Basic estimates are presented in the table below.
Implantology is a field of dentistry focused on replacing natural tooth roots with implants. Its goal is to restore missing teeth, rebuild bone and soft tissues, and bring back both function and aesthetics of the smile.
Implants, most commonly made of titanium, integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring stability and durability. The procedure involves the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone.
Used after tooth loss due to various reasons or for aesthetic purposes, they provide an effective and long-lasting solution, ensuring a natural look and comfort.
A dental implant is a titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone, replacing the natural root of a missing tooth. It provides a stable foundation for restoring a lost tooth due to trauma, decay, or periodontal disease.
After the implant has healed, a crown—usually made of porcelain or another individually selected material—is attached. An implant can also serve as a support for bridges or dentures, depending on the number of missing teeth.
Dental implants differ in shape, diameter, and height, but from the patient’s perspective, these differences are usually not noticeable.
That is why a consultation with a specialist is essential. Based on an individual treatment plan, the doctor will select the appropriate type of implant and the method of its placement. At this stage, it is also important to consider the planned prosthetic or orthodontic treatment, as it influences the choice of implant.
This is the basic variant of dental implant placement. For the procedure to be possible, the bone surrounding the former root must be healthy and strong. The challenge is that its structure can weaken or shrink by up to 50% within a year after tooth extraction. Implant placement helps stop these processes.
During implantation, a titanium screw is precisely inserted into the jawbone. The direct contact between the implant and the bone stimulates its regeneration and helps maintain the integrity of the bone tissue.
Sinus lift is a surgical procedure used when there is not enough bone in the posterior upper jaw to place an implant. Its purpose is to increase the height and volume of bone in the maxillary sinus area to create a stable foundation for the implant.
During the procedure, the surgeon places a bone substitute material or bone graft beneath the Schneiderian membrane, then closes and sutures the surgical site.
The healing process usually takes 6–9 months, during which bone formation and stabilization of the foundation occur. The timing of implant placement depends on the patient’s individual conditions and the implantologist’s decision.
In cases of significant bone loss at the planned implant site, the dental surgeon may perform a bone block graft. This involves taking a piece of bone from a healthy area and transferring it to the implant site. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and recovery takes several months and may involve some discomfort.
After the procedure, several months usually pass before the implant can be placed. The process requires prior assessment of contraindications, which may result from medical conditions, family history, or abnormal test results.
This is a bone grafting procedure with immediate implant placement, used in cases of smaller bone defects. A ring-shaped piece of bone (torus) is harvested, and the implant is placed into its center during the same visit. This method reduces the risk of complications and shortens treatment time, while the smaller surgical area increases patient comfort.
The procedure is possible if the patient is in good general health, has normal blood test results, maintains good oral hygiene, and has sufficient bone quality at the donor site.
Implant hygiene treatment is essential for the health and longevity of dental implants. Regular cleaning around implants helps prevent infections, inflammation, and maintains the results of treatment.
A trained dental hygienist uses modern equipment, including ultrasonic scalers and specialized brushes, to thoroughly clean the implants, removing deposits, plaque, and tartar from surrounding teeth. This is important because the buildup of plaque and tartar can lead to gum inflammation, mucosal issues, and even implant loss.
