AESTHETIC DENT in SZCZECIN (POLAND)

Implants

In times of the ever more important role of media our appearance becomes more important, too. TV, magazines and the omnipresent advertisements show us faces of beautiful, happy, satisfied, and healthy people, especially those with a beautiful smile. A perfect smile has become synonymous for happiness, success, and love of life.

With the help of modern dentures technology you can attain a fantastic appearance. It is the task of the specialist to recreate the natural teeth, taking into account the individual expectations of the patient like colour shades and form. To carry out an implantologic treatment gives the patient a new quality of life. The look is clearly improved, the patient feels more comfortable, self-esteem and attractiveness are greater, his self-assurance returns.

Indications and contra-indications

Dental implants can be used by the majority of adults. They are indicated in almost all cases of tooth gaps (gaps of one or more teeth and toothless jaws) and as a replacement for own teeth that have a bad prognosis. Implants are especially indicated for older toothless patients for whom already the insertion of two implants brings a clear improvement of the dentures stability.

People who are adviced to get implants should not wait too long for the operation because in cases of longer postponements it may become necessary to build up bone substance again first, so the implant can be inserted. This would lead to higher treatment costs and to a longer duration of the treatment.

For children implants are mostly not used because their teeth are still growing.

Scientific basis

Dental implants have now been used for decades, accompanied by scientific studies. These help to improve the quality in this branch of stomatology.

To carry out these operations gives the dentists the opportunity to keep in contact with the latest achievements of science. The use of implants is a standard operation in modern dental practice as this is the only way to guarantee highest standard and comfort for the patient. The implantological treatment starts after a complex diagnosis that secures the precision, the highest quality level, and the safety of the operation. The risks of any failures in this kind of therapy are comparable to those of conventional dentures treatments, as reliable studies have shown.

The operation

The insertion of the implant happens during a surgical operation under local anaesthesia. The implants (metal elements - titanium) are to replace the root of the tooth and they are built in the jaw in the area of the gap. Then prosthetic elements (crowns) are fixed onto the implant that were manufactured by highly specialized dentures technicians with the help of special computer facilities, treating each case individually.

The duration

After the necessary diagnostic preparations, the operation itself can be carried out within a day. The healing process in which the implant and the bone grow together, will take six weeks to six months, though. In case of a bone reconstruction the therapy may as well tke one to two years.

To reduce the inconveniences for the patient during the treatment, it is possible to carry out a temporary prosthetic treatment of the jaw.

The costs

The implantological therapy is still widely regarded as luxury but the number of its supporters is rising continuously. The price is justified by the end result which is more comfortable than with a traditional prosthetic treatment. Furthermore the implants are more durable than conventional dentures or bridges and they have a long-term guarantee.

The treatment costs of the implantological operation are 2 to 4 times higher than those of conventional methods which is due to the highly modern and cost intensive technology. Also the materials that are used are different what the price is concerned, but still it is adviced to use the best, highly renowned, and most durable Swedish implant systems of Nobel Biocare (Branemark System, Replace System) and the full ceramic crowns of PROCERA.

The advantages

The teeth that have been thus manufactured, have a natural appearance and can hardly be distinguished from the patient's own teeth. They reflect light just as natural teeth and react to fluorescent light in just the same way. In the end the better aesthetics is of high importance. An advantage of the implantological therapy that shouldn't be underestimated is the fact that healthy teeth often don't need to be polished like they have to when conventional bridges are used in traditional prosthetic procedures.
