In the current dentistry practice implantation represents the only method for restoring the completeness of a set of teeth which does not have an effect on patient’s other teeth. At present, dental implantation is the most effective technology of replacing lost teeth by artificial ones.

This method does not require cutting of adjacent teeth. In addition, modern dental implants are much more reliable and aesthetic. Distinguishing a high-quality implant from a natural tooth is almost impossible. In some cases implantation is the only way how to bring back a nice smile.

Technology of dental implantation

Dental implants can last 25 to 30 years on average with proper care. It is recommended that you regularly under go dental hygiene (once in three to four months) and follow all recommendations of your dentist.

Implantation (dental prosthesis using dental implants) comprises of three stages:

1st stage:
In the first stage titanium screw dental implants are introduced surgically into the jaw, their size is 8 to 18 mm in length and 3 to 6 mm in diameter.

2nd stage:
After the implant has healed (after 3 months), an element forming the gum is screwed into it. Special screw threads provide even distribution of the load on the jawbone and subsequently its regeneration. The entire technology of placing the implants is maximally gentle, the dental implants become a natural part of the jaw.

3rd stage:
The dentist fits an abutment (a support for a future crown) on the titanium implant and then the crown itself – i.e. the visible part of the tooth. This completes the whole process.

If you are thinking about implants, but you are not sure if they are the correct solution for you, we recommend that you make an appointment for an examination. We will discuss all options with you and answer your questions.

Miniimplants

Miniimplant is a reduced copy of a standard implant. Mini implants are made of a titanium alloy and their appearance resembles miniature screws (diameter 1.8 – 3.0 mm) with a ball head. The head fits in the denture and thus it holds the denture reliably in its place.

Most people know very well that the use of a complete removable denture is considerably unpleasant. The dentures do not hold in the mouth very well and force their users to forget eating any hard food. They must eat only soft food and soups. Different fixative creams can hold the denture in the mouth for some time, but they still cannot guarantee that the denture will not fall out at an improper moment.

The use of mini implants will help you maximally fix the denture in the mouth, and you will regain confidence that you will not get into an embarrassing situation.

Basic advantages of miniimplants:

• Minimum contraindications.
• Absolutely painless application without surgical incisions.
• Quick healing of mini implants and possibility of their immediate use. This means that you can use the denture already on the second day.
• The use of mini implants is financially less demanding for a patient.

Placement of mini implants is not complicated. On the basis of an initial examination and an X-ray image a dentist will determine the precise dimensions and location of mini implants. The placement of a mini implant in the jawbone is performed in local anaesthesia without any surgical incision.

2-4 mini implants are used for reliable fixing of a denture. The entire process of placing mini implants takes approximately 1 hour.

Care for mini implants does not different in any way from care for a standard denture. Every day, preferably in the evening, it should be taken out from the mouth and carefully cleaned with a toothbrush. The mouth should be rinsed with mouthwash. No further special care is necessary.

Mini implants should be checked during a regular routine check-up once or twice a year or on the basis of your dentist’s recommendation.

Mini implants will allow you again to enjoy your life to the fullest, to speak with friends and eat your favourite food without any limitations.
