Dental Implants
Treatment Description:
What is an Implant?
A dental Implantis an equivalent of a tooth root, it is embedded in the bone of the mandible or maxilla and poses a pillar for prosthetic reconstruction, such as crown, bridge or denture. A dental Implants abroad are the only solution in dentistry, which does not mask the lack of a tooth, but forms properly functioning and well-looking new tooth. Implants in Prague are made of titanium. This material is completely biocompatible, and thus the body recognizes it as its integral part.

- periodontal disease (periodontitis) - periodontal disease must be cured before starting the implantation procedure to ensure the long-term success,
- people with weak immune systems - those taking steroids, autoimmune disease, or patients undergoing radiotherapy
- people with pathological clash of teeth (bruxism)

What is the durability of implants?
Dental implants have been used for 30 years. From the moment of implantation, they may be with a patient for life, depending on how they are cared for. Like any supplement, your implanted tooth may be damaged by an injury, periodontal disease or improper oral hygiene.
How does the treatment look like?
After preparation of the treatment plan, the proper implantation treatment is performed. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The implant is implanted into the bone in the place of the missing tooth. During the healing of the jaw, a new bone "grows" around the implant (Osseointegration) which safely and effectively stabilizes the implant in the jawbone. After the process of osseointegration, the implant is attached to an element called a post, whose task is to hold a new crown, bridge or denture. Impressions for the prothetic work are taken, and finally the crown, bridge or denture is placed.

(Bone Reconstruction: performed during one visit, 6-12 months prior to the Implant placement)
First visit: Implant Placement (c. 1 hour)
Osseintegration: c. 3-6 months
Second Visit: Uncovering the implant, and crown placement
After Treatment:
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth, including brushing at least twice a day, flossing and twice a year visit to the dentist and the removal of tartar (scaling).
