Painless - the surgery is simple, takes only 30-40 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia
Aesthetics - only a dentist can distinguish an implanted tooth from a natural one, and only after thorough examination
Durability - a time-tested solution

A missing tooth can be restored in 3 ways:

Dental implants - durability and reliability
Bridge prosthesis - drawbacks include the need to prepare adjacent healthy teeth, with large defects loss of supporting teeth, bone atrophy under the intermediate part of the prosthesis, food trapping, discomfort
Removable denture - a classic solution for the loss of most or all teeth

Disadvantages of removable dentures:

Constant pain due to jaw bone atrophy without teeth causing the plate to press and rub
Limited ability to eat hard foods
Psychological discomfort - associated with removing the denture and risk of it falling out while eating or talking

Tooth Implantation and Bone Grafting: What You Need to Know

An implant functions as a fully functional tooth. It is placed in the bone, and after 3-6 months, a zirconia crown is installed

Bone atrophy can be corrected using bone grafting to increase bone volume for secure implant placement

Sinuses are the maxillary sinuses, located on the upper jaw. Atrophy in this area leads to the need for a sinus lift – raising the sinus level and filling it with bone mass

If the jaw is completely toothless, full jawbone grafting is necessary. The time before implants can be placed may extend up to 9 months

Although not the most pleasant process, modern pain relief ensures the procedure is painless and quick. Bone grafting procedures are more expensive, but the implants will serve you for a lifetime
