Implantology

Dental implants represent a significant technological advancement in dentistry. After decades of research, testing, and trials, dentists today have the ability to offer their patients what nature didn't provide – a third set of permanent teeth. An implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone, replacing the missing tooth's root. A ceramic artificial tooth is later placed on top of it.

The implantation procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes per implant. The procedure and recovery are completely painless. After 4-6 months, an abutment for the crown, or superstructure, is placed on the implant, and an artificial ceramic tooth is immediately attached.

Implants can be used for individual crowns, as supports for future ceramic bridges, and they can also stabilize dentures.

MINI IMPLANTS FOR STABILIZING COMPLETE DENTURES

The problem of poor retention and stability of the lower complete denture is quite common, often caused by significant resorption of the alveolar ridge and the function of the tongue. As a result, patients experience discomfort while wearing the denture.

This issue of an unstable denture can be addressed by placing two implants in the lower jaw, to which your existing or a completely new denture can be attached.
