Cost from: £550 | Time required: Generally two 7 day visits. Dental implants are essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly use a titanium screw or cylinder placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth.
Advantages of dental implants:
- Dental implants provide the longest lasting solution to missing teeth
- Give you natural looking teeth and confidence to eat and smile
- Dental Implants are more comfortable than conventional bridges and partial dentures. No wobbling teeth, no slipping or movement, as it is the case with partial or full denture
- Protects your other, natural teeth. No need for drilling of surrounding teeth
- Help you keep your face looking healthy. When teeth are missing the surrounding bone begins to shrink. Dental implants drastically slow this process down
Duration of treatmentThe implant process for routine cases normally consists of two stages:
Stage I: Dental Implant placement.
Cosmetic Dentistry Abroad After preparation of the implantation area, implants are inserted and the gum is stitched over them. Depending upon the complexity of your case, the operation might take anything from 30 minutes for a single implant, to several hours for complex bone grafting and multiple implant placements. Any stitches are removed a week to ten days later. You won’t be left toothless as we fit you with temporary teeth. During that time patients remain under our constant care.
Stage II: The restorative phase.
Usually 3 to 9 months after the implants were first placed, you return to our clinic so that final teeth can be fitted. The reason why it takes from 3 to 9 months between these two stages is that an integration period is needed for the implant to fully assimilate with the bone. During this time bone cells grow into the micro-pores created on the surface of the implant. It is a natural process and its duration varies between individuals. Dental implants pictures and videos
Who is suitable for dental implants?
If you have good general health then dental implants will almost certainly work for you. However, to have implants inserted you also need to have healthy gums and sufficient thickness of the jawbone. Our dentist will assess that during an initial consultation. In some cases implants can only be placed after grafting the bone into the area first.
Does dental implant treatment hurt?
Implantation surgery is painless, performed under local anesthesia. After the surgery, slight pain may be felt and a minor swelling may occur. For most patients, any of the simple painkillers you might take for a headache will be all that is needed for a few days. If you experience more discomfort than this, stronger medications can be prescribed. More information on implants in Polish is available on Implanty dentystyczne
