Everything you need to know about our dental care, explained simply.
Dental implants function as artificial tooth roots, helping to prevent bone loss and preserve your jawbone health.
While dental implants are a popular choice, there are other treatment options available for missing teeth, including:
Fixed Partial Dentures are generally recommended when only one or two teeth are missing. They rely on strong adjacent natural teeth for support, which need to be prepared (ground down). However, this option is not suitable for teeth with periodontal issues or in cases where the missing tooth is at the end of a dental arch (distal extension). Additionally, food can get trapped around the supporting teeth, potentially worsening their condition.
Removable Partial Dentures can sometimes become loose or dislodged while speaking, eating, or laughing. This can reduce chewing efficiency and may affect the patient’s confidence.
No, dental implant procedures require specialized training and expertise. Only recognized and certified implantologists with the necessary skills, knowledge, and qualifications in implantology are qualified to perform these treatments safely and effectively.
Absolutely not. Dental implant procedures are done under local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or conscious sedation, ensuring that patients experience little to no pain throughout the treatment.
Typically, placing a single implant takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The total time varies depending on the number of implants and the complexity of the case, such as difficult extractions. For full-mouth rehabilitation, the procedure can take anywhere from one to two hours.
While smoking and alcohol don’t directly damage dental implants, it’s best to avoid both the day before, the day of, and the day after surgery. This helps promote optimal healing and reduces the risk of complications.
During the healing period—typically 1 to 3 months—it’s best to stick to soft, nutritious foods to protect the surgical site and promote recovery.
Dental implants have a success rate of around 98%, with complications being very rare.
The cost varies depending on the number of implants needed. While dental implants can be more expensive than fixed partial dentures (FPDs), they offer superior function and long-lasting results, making them a worthwhile investment.
Dental implants look very natural and feel just like your own teeth.
In 99.9% of cases, the metal used in dental implants does not cause allergies. Our implants are made of titanium, a highly biocompatible material that is well tolerated by the body.
Age is not a barrier to dental implants. Any individual in good overall health is a suitable candidate for implant treatment.
