Dental implants are titanium screws that are implanted into the jawbone where a natural tooth is missing. They are a strong foundation for fixed (solid) or mobile (movable) prosthetic replacements. The shape of the implant is similar to the shape of the tooth root.

Who is a candidate for dental implant placement?

All patients who are missing one or more natural teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. The choice of the area for dental implant placement is determined by clinical assessment and analysis of X-rays of the edentulous area together with the bone. The position, length and diameter of the implant are selected according to the anatomical and morphological characteristics of the jawbone.

What if I do not have enough bone?

When the bone under the gingiva is not voluminous enough, we plan augmentation procedure to get extra jaw bone space for a successful dental implant placement. Bone augmentation is a process of implementation bone graft or artificial bone into jaw bone to get as a result extra volume. After implementation of bone material, above all jaw needs months to heal properly as a result. Strong, voluminous and healthy jaw bone therefore, will insure stability for your dental implants. Because of the osseointegration your implant and jaw bone become above all strong and one entirety. Therefore dental implant ensures stability for dental crown or bridge that will come on the implant. As a result of the process is natural feel in your mouth.

Why is it important to check the patient’s general health?

A very important factor for the success and longevity of implanted dental implants is the patient’s general health. Vitamin D levels are very important for the health of the tooth bone and the successful implantation process. During the examination, Dr. Šebečić will instruct you on what findings need to be taken in order to fully collect the health diagnostics that we need to evaluate the candidate for surgery.

What is the diameter and length of the implant?

The length of the implant can be from 4 – 20 mm, the diameter from 3 mm to 7 mm. The choice of the diameter and length of the implant depends on the volume of the jawbone in which the implant is planned to be implanted.

Additional 3D CBCT provides as a result most accurate based on the volume in the jaw bone and also anatomical structures (blood vessels, nerves and distances from the maxillary sinus) and bone density. 3D CBCT is used to plan augmentation of the jaw (when needed) together with lifting the base of the maxillary sinus.

Dental implantation is a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. The implant site is prepared with standard drills sized to match the implant. If sufficient primary stability is achieved, a temporary dental crown can be placed immediately.

This part of dental implantation process is recovery period and can last from 3 to 6 months. After this, abutment is placed on dental implant and then it is ready for prosthetic phase. This is the last step when we are adding crown, bridge or full teeth restoration (all on 4, all on 6) – whatever the case may be.

We have answered our patients’ questions about “Dental Implants”

Toothless dental bone begins to withdraw if a replacement for the lost tooth is not implanted in it.

For the longevity of the implant, it is necessary to ensure ideal conditions. This includes an adequate volume of dental bone. The patient must undergo a preparatory procedure of bone augmentation before placing the implant.

Peri-implantitis occurs in smokers in case of poor hygiene. An implant requires the same care and regular hygiene as a natural tooth. Otherwise, severe inflammation can occur. If you are a smoker, we recommend visiting the dentist more often.
