Dental implants
Dental implants are a modern and long-term solution for replacing teeth. An implant is a small titanium screw that is placed in the jaw to replace a missing tooth root. The implant acts as a strong and stable base on which a prosthesis, crown or bridge is attached. Dental implants mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, providing both an aesthetic and practical solution.
Why choose a dental implant?
Natural Appearance and Function: Implants mimic natural teeth, offering both an aesthetic and a practical solution.
Long-term Solution: Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants are very durable and can last a lifetime.
Increases Self-Confidence: Implants restore the natural appearance of a smile and improve the ability to speak and chew.
Bone Preservation: Implants help preserve jaw structure by preventing bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing.
Why prefer ceramic implants?
In our clinic, we prefer to use ceramic dental implants because of their many advantages over traditional titanium implants. Ceramic implants are made of a biocompatible material, zirconium oxide, which is exceptionally strong, aesthetic and body-friendly.
Here are some reasons why ceramic implants are a great choice:
1. Natural appearanceCeramic implants are tooth-colored, blending perfectly with the surrounding teeth, especially in the front teeth area.
2. Allergy-free materialZirconium oxide is biocompatible and does not cause allergic reactions, suitable for people with metal allergies.
3. Better Gum Health The smooth surface reduces the risk of bacterial attachment and inflammation, helping to keep the gums healthy.
4. Strength and Durability Ceramic implants are extremely strong and durable, providing a permanent solution.
5. Metal-free option Ceramic implants are metal-free, the perfect choice for those who prefer a natural and holistic approach.
Process
Initial consultation: The dentist evaluates the overall health of the mouth and the structure of the jaw by taking X-rays and 3D scans to determine suitability for implant placement.
Surgical placement: The implant screw is surgically placed in the jawbone. Over time, the titanium screw fuses with the bone, providing a strong base for the prosthesis or crown.
Healing period: The integration of the titanium screw and the jaw usually takes 3-6 months, during which a temporary crown can be used if necessary. Final restoration: After the final integration, a crown, bridge or prosthesis is attached to the implant, which matches natural teeth both in appearance and function.
Aftercare and Checkups: Regular oral hygiene and dental checkups help ensure the long-term successful use of the implant.
Opgiuide: Accurate and safe implant placement
The opiguideis a special aid that is made exactly according to the anatomy of your jaw and teeth using digital scans. It guides the dentist in placing the implant, ensuring that the implant is placed in the most appropriate and secure position. It allows precise and quick installation, minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring the best possible result.
