IMPLANTOLOGY

Dental implants are restorations that are installed in places of missing teeth and replace their roots. They are made of titanium alloys, completely safe for the body. After installation, the implant creates a solid bond with the jawbone. After a period of osseointegration, an extension is placed on the implant that protrudes through the gum and creates a connection with the future crown. In our office, we only use proven PREMIUM brands of implants, such as Strauman, NobelBiocare, AlphaBioTech.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are all the implant solutions available?

Solo crown on the implant – when one tooth needs to be replaced.
Bridge on implants – when it is necessary to compensate two or more teeth, using several implants.
All on 4
All on 6
All on X

How many visits are required for the implant placement procedure?

Implant placement is done in one visit.
Patients can receive temporary teeth immediately or after an additional procedure to open the implant.

How long does it take to place a definitive crown?

Usually 4-6 months.
Temporary teeth can be placed in the aesthetic region immediately after installation.

Is the intervention painful?

No, the intervention is performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless. For patients with expressed fear, sedation is possible under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.

What is the recovery like after the intervention?

It depends on the complexity of the procedure. With modern techniques, recovery is fast, with no visible signs of intervention.

How long does the implant last?

It depends on:

Jawbone quality.
Oral hygiene.
General health of the patient (diabetes, smoking and other habits can compromise the longevity of the implant). Regular controls (at least twice a year) are crucial.

How are implants maintained?

Regular oral hygiene and professional cleaning every 4-6 months is necessary. All prosthetic works on implants are fixed by the screwing method for the integrated implant, which allows for easy removal and maintenance. The advantage of this working principle is in reducing the risk of peri-implantitis, which is often caused by residual cement that was previously used to fix prosthetic works on implants.

Can the implant be rejected?

Yes, but rarely (success rate 95-98%). Possible causes:

Infection (peri-implantitis).
Failed osseointegration.
Poor quality or lack of bone.
Smoking and health problems.

Regular hygiene and controls reduce the risk.

Are all patients candidates for implant placement?

No. Each patient is individually evaluated based on clinical examination and 3D image analysis. In cases where bone is missing or there are anatomical obstacles (eg, proximity to the sinus or mandibular nerve), an additional bone augmentation procedure may be required prior to implantation.

ALL-ON-4 ® CONCEPT

What is All-On-4®?

All-on-4 is a concept of fixed prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients using only four dental implants per jaw. This technique enables a quick and effective restoration of the functionality and aesthetics of the smile, often without the need for additional procedures such as bone augmentation.

Key features of the All-on-4:

Only 4 implants – Two are placed vertically in the front of the jaw, while the other two are placed at an angle in the lateral areas, which allows for better support and reduces the need for bone augmentation.
Fast function – In most cases, the patient receives a temporary fixed bridge on the same day as the implants, so they can immediately have functional teeth.
Excellent stability – The special method of placing the implant allows good stability even in patients with a lack of bone.
A more economical solution – Compared to classic implants, where 6-8 implants are needed per jaw, All-on-4 is often a more affordable choice.

This method is ideal for patients who are completely toothless or have teeth in a very bad condition that cannot be saved.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does the procedure take?

The intervention is completed in one visit.

When do I get teeth?

Temporary teeth are placed within 24 hours after implant placement, while definitive teeth are obtained in 4-6 months.

Is the procedure painful?

The operation is performed under local anesthesia or under analgosedation, so that the patient does not feel pain during the intervention.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

With proper hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last for many years, often for life.

Who are candidates for All-on-4?

The patient must have enough bone in the front of the jaw, and a detailed examination and imaging will show if you are a candidate for this method.

How much does All-on-4 cost?

The price is determined individually and depends on the condition of the jawbone, the type of prosthetic work and additional procedures. We can give a precise price only after a detailed clinical and radiological examination.

ALL-ON-6 CONCEPT

All-on-6 is a similar concept to All-on-4 , but instead of four, it uses six dental implants per jaw. This additionally increases the stability and longevity of prosthetic work, which makes it a better and longer-term solution.

Key features of the All-on-6:

6 implants per jaw – Evenly distributed, they provide even better support compared to All-on-4.
Greater stability and longevity – More implants means less pressure on each one, which improves durability and reduces the risk of strain.
Suitable for patients with sufficient bone – Unlike All-on-4, All-on-6 requires slightly more available bone for implant placement.
A more natural feeling when chewing – More evenly spaced implants allow better functionality when eating hard and sticky foods.
Less likelihood of complications in the future – If one implant is lost over time, the remaining ones can still carry the prosthetic work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-6 provides more stability because it uses two additional implants, which is especially useful in patients with a stronger bite or lower bone density.

How long does recovery take after implant placement?

The first recovery period lasts a few days, while complete osseointegration of the implant can be expected within 3 to 6 months.

Can I choose the appearance of my teeth?

Yes, patients have the option of choosing the color, shape and size of their teeth in agreement with the dentist.

How much does All-on-6 cost?

The price depends on several factors, including the condition of the jawbone, the type of material and additional procedures. The exact amount can only be determined after a detailed review and analysis of the recordings.

ALL-ON-X CONCEPT

All-on-X is a flexible concept in implantology that means the installation of multiple implants (X = 4, 5, 6, 8…) for complete reconstruction of the jaw. This term is used when the number of implants is not fixed, but is adjusted to each patient based on his bone volume, bite and wishes.

Key features of the All-on-X system:

Adapts to the patient – The number of implants depends on individual needs and bone quality.
It can be All-on-4, All-on-6, All-on-8… – The more implants, the greater the stability and longevity of work.
Suitable for different types of patients – From those with minimal to those with sufficient amount of bone.
Enables fixed teeth and a natural feeling when chewing .

Conclusion : All-on-X provides flexibility in therapy planning and allows the dentist to adapt the solution to each patient, providing optimal functionality and aesthetics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When is a certain number of implants used?

All-on-4 – A better option for patients with a smaller amount of bone or who want a faster and more economical solution.
All-on-6 – A better solution for those who want maximum stability and longer-term durability of dental work.
All-on-8 – Maximum stability and even load distribution, suitable for young patients and those with sufficient bone.

IMPLANTS WITH IMMEDIATE LOADING

Implants with an immediate (immediately loaded) solution are dental implants that are placed and immediately receive a temporary crown or bridge within 24 to 72 hours after installation. This technique allows patients to quickly get functional and beautiful teeth, without waiting a long time for osseointegration (the union of the implant with the bone).

Key features of immediate implants:

Fast aesthetic and functional rehabilitation – Patients are not left without teeth during the healing period.
No need for a long wait – Standard implants require 3-6 months for osseointegration before placing the crown, while with this concept, the teeth are obtained immediately.
Fewer surgical interventions – If possible, the tooth is extracted and the implant placed on the same day.
Suitable for front teeth – It is often used in the aesthetic zone (front teeth), but it can also be applied in the lateral region if the conditions are stable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who can get immediate implants?

Patients with good bone density and no severe bone resorption.
Those who want a quick aesthetic solution and have no problems with healing.
Patients who have their teeth extracted and want an immediate functional replacement .

When are immediate implants not recommended?

If there is severe bone atrophy – Osseointegration could be compromised.
In severe bruxism (teeth grinding) – Greater stress can cause implant failure.
If there is an infection in the region of implantation – May make healing more difficult.

Temporary work on implants that the patient receives 24 hours after the intervention.
