Dental implants what they are
Dental implants represent an advanced technology used in Albania to provide patients with full chewing ability and a renewed smile.
A natural tooth consists of two main parts: the crown, which is the visible part, and the root, which is located inside the bone of the upper or lower jaw.
A dental implant, on the other hand, is an artificial root that is inserted into the maxilla or mandible to replace the root of a missing tooth. It usually consists of a screw made of titanium or a titanium alloy, biocompatible materials that reduce the risk of inflammation and allergies by integrating seamlessly with the bone and resisting the pressure of chewing.
What a dental implant is formed from
The dental implant consists of 3 parts:
- Artificial roots or screws: an implant is a screw inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing natural tooth root. The length can vary depending on the anatomical needs of the patient. It can be made of titanium or zirconium.
- Support structure: the element that connects the implant to the dental crown. One part sits inside the gum and the other part acts as a pivot to hold the crown in place.
- Ceramic dental crowns are identical to natural teeth, so there are no aesthetic differences.
The stages of implant dentistry
How are dental implants placed? Here are the steps we perform to restore a smile to patients with dental implants:
- Diagnosis: During your free initial visit, our staff will perform a thorough diagnosis and instrumental examination to ensure a personalized treatment plan that meets your aesthetic and functional expectations based on your actual clinical needs.
- Surgery: in this second stage, the implant is inserted into the bone. The operation is performed under local anesthesia.
- Osseointegration: dental implants now have to wait several months (3-6 months) to integrate into the bone.
- Final step: upon completion, the doctor mounts the superstructure on the implant where the dental crown will be attached.
Advantages of dental implants
We mentioned that dental implants allow patients to restore both effective chewing function and a natural smile.
Choosing dental implants over removable bridges has several advantages:
- Implants are cosmetically identical to natural teeth.
- Permanently and securely fixed without adhesive.
- It does not create problems with adjacent natural teeth.
- This is a very long-lasting solution if you practice proper oral hygiene on a daily basis.
- High success rate: a 98% success rate is assured, with more than 12,000 implant surgeries performed since 2009 (in case of implant rejection, new surgeries are performed free of charge and travel expenses are covered).
Percentages that reach 100% thanks to computer-assisted implants, a painless, incisionless technology that ensures maximum precision thanks to advanced software that enables virtual 3D modeling of the procedure - Stability: no chewing problems and no risk of shifting of artificial teeth.
