Today, there is no alternative solution that can address the issues of edentulous jaws and tooth replacement with the speed, quality, and precision that IMPLANTOLOGY offers.
If you are missing one or more teeth, implants are the simplest and most effective replacement for natural teeth. In addition to health benefits (such as improved chewing and jawbone protection), placing implants in areas where teeth are missing restores a person's self-confidence, smile, and overall comfort in daily life.
What is an implant? A dental implant is a titanium tooth fixture placed in the area where a natural tooth is missing. Its appearance and function are identical to the natural tooth that was previously in that spot, seamlessly blending with the rest of the teeth.
Implants are recommended for individuals from the age of seventeen to old age, including those missing natural teeth or experiencing aesthetic concerns, among others. The ideal candidate for dental implants is a patient in good overall and oral health. Younger patients are candidates only once jaw growth and development have finished, while individuals with chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, become candidates only if the condition is well-controlled. It is important to have sufficient bone tissue, adequate bone strength, and no health issues that could compromise healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or chemotherapy following cancer treatment.

The dental installation is typically performed under local anesthesia, though it can also be done with sedation, a choice that more and more patients are opting for. It is completely painless and the simplest option for the patient. During an initial examination, the doctor will assess the condition of the oral cavity, explain the procedure, and discuss all details with the patient.
Once the preparation process is complete, the installation is quick, taking about 15 to 20 minutes. The implant is inserted into the bone, and it takes time for it to fuse with the bone.
In some cases, due to insufficient bone in the upper jaw, you may be informed that you are not a suitable candidate for an implant. However, in these situations, the solution is the Zygoma implant, which is placed in the cheekbone. This method of implant placement is a revolution in dentistry, eliminating any obstacles to achieving a healthy and radiant smile.
Recovery after implant placement also depends on the individual patient. A few days after the procedure, it is important to eat soft foods, rinse the area around the implant, and maintain good oral hygiene. Avoid smoking and any activities that could lead to inflammation. The sutures typically dissolve on their own shortly after the procedure.
The recovery is generally fast, and the discomfort after the procedure is minimal.
Dental implants and potential complications
Like any procedure, this one carries some potential complications, but they are very rare.
Potential complications that may arise after implant placement:
With regular oral hygiene and proper care, your implants can remain intact for years, possibly even for a lifetime.
The cost of the implant depends on the number of teeth the patient needs to replace (e.g., All-on-4, All-on-6). The exact cost is determined after consulting with the doctor, who will provide a complete overview of the necessary procedure.
We emphasize that the health of our patients is our top priority, along with restoring their smile and self-confidence.
