What is a dental implant? From a technical point of view, a dental implant is a small but very strong support made of biocompatible metals or ceramics. It is injected into the jaw bone under local anesthesia at the site of the missing tooth root, after which it serves as the basis for the tooth. Today, the use of dental implants is a modern method of long-term prosthetics, applicable for all indications. It has been successfully tested and applied over the past three decades by qualified dentists and surgeons worldwide.
Neglecting cavity treatment, which leads to surgical tooth removal, or the traumatic loss of a tooth is not just an aesthetic issue but a significant health concern. Modern medicine provides ample evidence that missing teeth can complicate a person’s life. This deficiency negatively affects the digestive system, can cause issues with the musculoskeletal system, impact vision, and even affect the vascular system.
In addition to the primary reasons for restoring teeth, dentists emphasize that dental implants prevent the shifting of teeth and the premature damage of remaining teeth caused by impaired chewing function.
Until recently, the only options for replacing lost teeth were:
Fixed prosthetics were anchored to neighboring teeth or, in cases with relatively healthy roots, on pre-prepared stumps. Removable dentures could replace a few missing teeth or an entire jaw. However, modern dental technology has advanced significantly, and today dental implants enable dentists to address even the most complex cases.
Dental implants are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth. Unlike removable prosthetics, implants do not cause irritation or wobble. Caring for artificial teeth with artificial roots is straightforward. Most importantly, teeth on implants function as effectively as natural teeth in chewing food.
An artificial tooth consists of three main parts. The first is the implant itself, a screw embedded in the bone tissue. Its primary purpose is to replace the root of a lost tooth. Between the implant and the crown is the abutment. The visible part of the tooth resembles a classic crown. This part, made of ceramics, metal-ceramics, or zirconium, looks just like a natural tooth.
To ensure a comfortable process, dental implant placement is performed under anesthesia. The procedure itself is relatively quick. However, the overall time from implant placement to the attachment of the crown depends on how long it takes for the implant to fuse with the bone. If bone restoration is necessary, this can extend the timeline for the implant procedure.
Dental implants act as artificial roots onto which prosthetics that closely resemble natural teeth can be placed.
The cost of dental implants depends on the materials used. Artificial roots are typically made from:
Titanium, known for its hypoallergenic properties and durability, guarantees the longevity of dental implants. This material is ideal for supporting chewing teeth. Zirconium dioxide rivals titanium in strength, but implants using this material are more expensive.
Modern implantology ensures a comfortable experience for every patient and makes it possible to restore the entire dental arch, even in cases of complete tooth loss. To choose the best restoration method, patients should schedule a consultation with a dentist.
