Implantology
Dental implantology is a modern and highly specialized field of dental medicine that offers a solution for restoring missing teeth using dental implants. Implants, typically made of biocompatible titanium, are implanted into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for dental crowns, bridges, or dentures.
This procedure not only restores the aesthetics and functionality of the smile but also improves the quality of life by bringing back the ability to eat and speak normally. Moreover, dental implantology plays a key role in preventing bone loss, which often occurs after the loss of natural teeth.
The main stages of dental implantology include:
- Planning and diagnosis: An examination, X-rays, and/or 3D computed tomography are performed to assess the condition of the jawbone and determine the optimal placement for the implant.
- Surgical placement of the implant: The implant is fixed into the jawbone through a minimally invasive procedure that ensures comfort and quick recovery.
- Osseointegration: A period during which the implant fuses with the bone (usually between 3 and 6 months).
- Placement of the abutment and prosthesis: After successful integration, an abutment is placed, onto which the final restoration – crown, bridge, or denture is attached.
Advantages of dental implantology:
- Restores the natural appearance and function of teeth.
- A long-lasting and reliable solution.
- Prevents bone resorption and maintains the strength of the jaw.
- Improves chewing efficiency and speech functions.
- Enhances self-confidence and quality of life.
Dental implantology offers a durable and stable solution for patients who want to regain their smile and confidence while preserving the health of their jawbone and oral cavity.
