Dental implantation is the most effective and longest-lasting restoration method. It allows you to restore the full masticatory function of one or a group of organs. Implantation involves a complex surgical technique during which the lost tooth is placed in the jawbone of sufficient volume. The procedure requires professionalism and the use of quality materials, so it is essential to choose a trusted specialist for its execution.
Definition and Main Stages of the Procedure
Dental implantation in Ivano-Frankivsk is carried out by an implantologist in the operating room. During the complex surgical intervention, a strong metal pin is placed in the patient's jawbone tissue. The base of the implant is zirconium or titanium. The pin itself becomes the framework for the future tooth.
Let’s examine in detail the stages of the procedure:
- Preparatory. This includes an initial examination by the specialist, ordering a comprehensive examination (X-rays, CT scans), making a diagnosis, and jointly choosing the implant. If necessary, the preparatory stage may include treatment, removal of the affected organ, and cavity sanitation.
- Operation. Dental implantation is performed by the implantologist quickly and painlessly (using local anesthesia). A titanium pin or artificial root is installed at the incision area of the jaw tissue. Due to the special threading, similar to a screw, it will be implanted into the bone where the tooth was previously lost.
- Osseointegration. Depending on the clinical picture and type of implant, the healing period takes from 3 to 6 months. At this stage, the implant is fixed in the mass of the jawbone.
- Installation and fixation of the crown. After complete healing, a screw cap is installed at the upper part of the artificial root structure. The prepared crown fully mimics the natural organ.
Depending on the initial state of the oral cavity and the patient’s wishes, prosthetics can be performed in one visit (with immediate load, right after the organ is removed) or in several visits.
Advantages of Implantation
Modern dental techniques allow for safe, minimally invasive restoration of the dentition. Moreover, they provide the following advantages:
- Ensure a natural, beautiful appearance of the dentition. Restored artificial teeth feel like your own, making your smile impeccable.
- Improved functionality of the organ. Implantation restores full masticatory and speech abilities. It enhances the quality and comfort of the patient's life.
- Durable service life of the implanted structure. Despite the high cost of the procedure, it quickly pays for itself. Global manufacturers guarantee long years of service for implants, some of which can last for decades.
Professional specialists guarantee successful results even in advanced clinical cases.
