Dental implant?

A dental implant is a metal device that is inserted into the jawbone to replace the natural tooth root. Basically the dental implant takes the place of the tooth root, on which the new tooth is built. A dental implant is the optimal solution for replacing lost teeth. For patients facing edentulousness (partial or total tooth loss), the Dental Garant dental clinic in Bucharest offers dental implant-based solutions. With the help of dental implants, your smile will be rebuilt in a very short time.

Technically, a dental implant is a surgical component that is anchored into the jawbone, its basic role being to support future crowns, bridges and dentures. The process by which implants are fixed into the bone is called osseointegration and consists of the formation of bone tissue around the titanium implant thus increasing its stability and integration into the body. A variable amount of time is required for healing and completion of osseointegration before future prostheses can be attached to implants.

Main advantages of dental implant treatments

Very long lifetime

The main functions of the teeth are rehabilitated (rapid rehabilitation) quickly through the use of dental implants. Here are the most important benefits you will enjoy by choosing dental implants.

Natural look

A dental implant closely mimics the anatomical shape of the tooth, so teeth feel and look natural. With a complete, aesthetically harmonious smile, the patient regains self-confidence.

Superior dental aesthetics

Aesthetic restoration is for many patients the most important goal. It is universally recognised that the aesthetics of a correctly executed implant work is excellent. A dental implant has the ability to replace a missing tooth in such a way that it will look and function almost like a natural tooth.

Superior chewing function

Chewing is the most important function of the teeth. When designing dental work, masticatory function should be restored as close as possible to the natural situation (i.e. before tooth loss). If this goal is achieved, patients will adapt quickly with the new restoration. The great advantage of implant-supported restorations is the transmission of masticatory forces to the alveolar bone in a similar way to natural teeth (left image). Consequently, masticatory comfort is excellent, as the implants function almost like natural teeth.

Natural phonation

Normal speech, especially the pronunciation of certain consonants, can be affected if the front teeth (especially the incisors) are missing. New traditional dentures cause difficulties in pronunciation at least until the oral tissues get used to the new situation. This process can take up to several weeks. Implant-supported restorations eliminate this shortcoming, as they function almost like natural teeth. Adjustment with these works much faster (usually a few days).

Minimally invasive solution

Dental implants eliminate the need to grind neighbouring teeth, which is absolutely mandatory if the edentulous gap is to be restored with a dental bridge. Sanding teeth can result in the loss of significant amounts of healthy tooth tissue and sometimes even devitalisation of teeth.

Preservation of bone tissue

Dental implants preserve bone tissue by reducing the bone resorption process that would result in a reduction of the vertical dimension of the jaws.

Provides very good stability of dental work

It ensures a great aesthetic and a very good stability of the work, and the adaptation with such restorations is achieved extremely quickly. Dental implants reduce the load on other elements in the oral cavity (teeth, gums, alveolar bone) because they provide crowns, bridges or removable prostheses with independent support.

Types of treatment with dental implants

Dental implants in case of missing teeth (singular edentulism)

If the patient has only one missing tooth and the space is between two free teeth, it is possible to choose either to insert an implant and then a crown on the implant, the restoration being independent and not affecting the neighbouring teeth, or to make a dental bridge whereby the teeth neighbouring the edentulous space will serve as support for a false crown. It should be noted that a major disadvantage in this case is that the abutment teeth will have to be ground down and devitalised on a case-by-case basis to make treatment possible. Also, the bone in the extracted tooth will become resorptive over time. For these reasons, with the evolution of technology and the promotion of minimally invasive procedures on teeth, specialists recommend implants.

Dental implants in case of multiple missing teeth (extensive edentulism)

If there are several missing teeth on the arch, one of the recommended treatments is to have an implant bridge. For example, if 3 neighbouring teeth are missing, you may choose to insert two implants and make a false crown between them. In this way, 2 implants can support 3 teeth. These bridges are similar to conventional bridges except that the abutment teeth will no longer be the natural teeth but will be represented by dental implants.

Complete dental restorations through dental implants (total edentulousness)

If the patient is totally edentulous, one can opt for the insertion of a variable number of implants depending on the case and the possibilities, followed by a fixed or removable prosthesis on these implants. This treatment is far superior to conventional total dentures, and this type of prosthesis also greatly increases the patient's quality of life.

Bredent products are recommended by the reliability and quality of the structural elements, transferred to complex or simple solutions, depending on the medical situation of each individual patient. For over 10 years, Bredent has been constantly investing in research and technology to come up with dental implant options aligned to the highest standards.

Paltop dental implants ( dental implant USA )

The Paltop dental implant system comes with an advanced esthetic dental technique! The concave design of the Paltop implant allows the mucosa to form a dense layer surrounding the trans-gingival interconnection. This results in reduced tissue transparency, leading to a decrease in the visual appearance of the metal. This innovative design creates an optimal emergence profile, allowing the replacement of temporary dentures with fixed dentures without affecting the structure of the newly formed tissue. This speeds up the healing process.

Zimmer dental implants ( dental implant USA )

Zimmer Dental, an American brand of premium implantology products for dental rehabilitation and reconstruction, has invented a very effective concept. Originally used for orthopedic devices, Zimmer Trabecular is a truly revolutionary implant system. Zimmer dental implants are dental devices specifically designed to replace one or more missing teeth while ensuring long-term hard and soft tissue stability and proper jaw joint functionality. Among Zimmer's most popular implants is the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System, which includes Trabecular Metal implants. Zimmer Trabecular Metal is a unique state-of-the-art biomaterial. Trabecular Metal is a three-dimensional material, the only one of its kind developed to date, that is completely biocompatible with human tissue. Its bone-like structure has a porosity of up to 80%. The dental implant made of trabecular metal has a mid-section that allows bone to grow inwards from healthy bone tissue towards the affected area. Bone has the potential to grow on the nanosurface of the trabecular metal material, in and around its interconnected pores. This consistent and interconnected pore network of trabecular material is designed for growth in and out, which is called osseointegration.

Stages of dental implant insertion surgery

Consultation: we take a medical history, and after consultation and analysis of X-rays and CT images, we draw up a treatment plan. The patient is informed how long it will take and what the costs of dental interventions are.

Patient preparation

Medical tests necessary for the intervention are performed. Prepare the oral cavity by performing pre-operative procedures.

Inserting dental implants

It is the surgical procedure to place dental implants in the jawbone.

Checks

At the end of each stage you will see our doctors for a check-up to make sure everything is going perfectly and to prevent or manage any complications.
