Implantology

– without receiving the usual load, the jawbone will begin to disappear in place of the lost tooth. As a result, the shape of the face can change, a person ages prematurely;

– adjacent teeth will begin to lean towards the lost tooth;

– the bite will change. With an incorrect bite, food will be more difficult to chew and may also cause headaches.

1. reliable procedure. Implants grow in 96-100% of cases and can last a lifetime perfectly;

2. painless, simple, quick operation. Dental implant procedures are usually performed under local anesthesia. The operation lasts an average of 30-60 minutes;

3. maximum aesthetic result. Only a dentist can distinguish an implanted tooth from a real one by carefully examining the patient's oral cavity;

4. without discomfort and everyday inconvenience. Does not cause constant pain, provides free chewing opportunities, does not cause psychological discomfort.

– Inspection and consultation;

– In the second time, in the surgical stage, the operation of implantation of the dental implant in the jaw bone is performed;

– The prosthetics stage, where an impression of the teeth and gum is taken and a crown is made.

1. EXAMINATION AND MEDICAL CONSULTATION

Initially, the surgeon performs an examination of the oral cavity and an X-ray, assessing the quantity and quality of the jaw bone.

2. IMPLANTATION PROCEDURE

Initially, a titanium screw is screwed into the jawbone. According to the structure of the patient's jaw bone, the screw has a certain length, width, with a certain number of threads and depth. If necessary, stitches can be removed after a week.

3. HEALING AND WEARING TEMPORARY CROWNS (OPTIONAL) AND/OR GUM BUILDING

The process continues after 2 – 5 months, during which the process of osseointegration (the fusion of the dental implant with the bone) has taken place - to establish this, an X-ray examination is performed. As well as making a dental crown and connecting it to the implant.

4. ATTACHING A NEW TOOTH CROWN

In the fourth stage, the dental crown is attached to the abutment, which completes the tooth implantation process. It remains only to understand with the new sensations until the mind and jaw accept the existence of the new tooth.

5. REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Dental implants should be cared for in the same way as natural teeth, with daily brushing and flossing, regular visits to a dental hygienist and, if necessary, a dentist. Caring for dental implants is natural, they do not require special attention or care from people, as would be the case with dentures.

One of the largest independent studies in the history of Swedish dentistry has shown that the success of the treatment largely depends on the manufacturer of the implant. The study proved that STRAUMANN implants were lost up to 60 times less often than implants from other manufacturers.

Although it is impossible to predict the success of each operation, many studies show that the Straumann Roxolid SLActive implant achieves up to 99% better growth rates, even in difficult cases (diabetic patients, oncological diseases).

The patented titanium and zirconium implant alloy Roxolid is stronger and has better biocompatibility. SLActive implant surface improves healing processes by 50%.

– clean the teeth using a soft or very soft toothbrush, use mouthwash or toothpaste that does not contain abrasives; Choose a toothpaste specifically designed for implant care;

– it is very important to brush your teeth at least twice a day with a toothbrush that has soft bristles;

– at least once a day, use an appropriate dental floss, one that does not fray;

– do not touch the wound site unnecessarily, so as not to injure it even more;

– avoid eating hot, cold, hard or grainy food;

– it is recommended not to eat on the implanted tooth for a couple of days;

– Do not smoke!!! Tobacco smoke can cause complications at the site of the implant, resulting in inflammation. Be attentive, pay attention to the condition of the dental implant.

Between visits to the dentist, it is definitely necessary to pay attention to the general condition of your dental implants. See a doctor if you notice the following symptoms:

– swelling or redness around the implant site;
– difficulty chewing food or pain when biting teeth;
– implants seem unstable and loose.
