Dental implants have become a standard solution to missing teeth. An implant is a functional substitution for a tooth (including its root), which – unlike the temporary or removable dental prosthetics – allows the patient to have a normal life without any complications or limitations.

Each implant consists of a titanium root which is applied into the gum where the actual dental root used to be and of a ceramic crown placed onto this root. Together these parts create a fully functional dental prosthesis.

The implantation as such then takes places in 4 phases: starting with a consultation with the dentist, leading to the creation of a detailed treatment plan, printing of the 3D navigation template, and finishing with the precise placement of the implant. After approximately 2 months, the whole treatment is completed with the placement of the tooth crown

IS THE IMPLANTATION PERFORMED IN NARCOSIS?

Technically speaking, yes you can; however, the periodontal disease has to be treated first and the bone has to be re-built through methods such as so called bone grafting. Once you treat your periodontal disease and the bone in your jaw is re-built, you can receive a dental implant.

It is not. Implantation, same as any other dental treatment provided at our clinic, is performed in topical anaesthesia. We, however, use a two or three-phased anaesthetic application. At first we cover the area we are about to treat with an anaesthetic spray in order to numb it before we use topical anaesthetics.
