Dental Implants

Benefits of dental implants

• Implants feel more comfortable, secure, and natural than removable tooth replacements such as a partial denture.
• Implants allow you to eat what you want.
• Implants give you the confidence to freely laugh and smile with ease.
• Implants will stop the jawbone from shrinking, which in turn stops premature facial aging.

Who is a good dental implant candidate?

Lifestyle habits can work for or against your implant success. Just as with any surgery, good health and a strong immune system are always positive starting points. Therefore we will interview you extensively and discuss both your medical background and your lifestyle habits.

• Healthy gums are important for the surgical healing process.
• Adequate bone support will be necessary
• Smoking will compromise the success of the implant.

Type of implants used at our clinic

We use the 3i implants at our clinic.

3i implants are manufactured in the USA by 3i Implant Innovations, Inc. We use their line of OSSEOTITE® implants: special hybrid-surface to strengthen the iimplant attachment and to optimise the bone healing (soft and hard tissue) around the implant; OSSEOTITE NT® implants offer a shape similar to a natural root in order to minimalise placement problems.

The result of this research is an overall post-loading success rate of 98.6% at three years for OSSEOTITE® Implants. This success rate includes certain high-risk cases. OSSEOTITE® Implant results are so impressive and so consistent that these are the first implants in the world to gain recognition for use in high-risk factor patients.

Today, 3i offers one of implant dentistry's most comprehensive lines of implants and abutments, augmented by a growing line of regenerative products. 3i pioneered the development of biologically driven implants, winning worldwide acclaim for the microtextured surface and superior clinical success rates of the OSSEOTITE® Implant.

Time required for a full implant restoration

With treatment of implants each case is different; therefore it is hard to evaluate any case without an oral examination. In most of the cases the schedule of an implant is the following:
If tooth extractions are needed, 3-4 month should elapse before the implant can be placed. As for the operation, a 2-4 day visit is enough. 2-4 months after the placement of the implants, the healing abutments can be placed which is a one-day visit. These healing abutments should remain for minimum 2 weeks, after which we can build up the implants and have the crowns or denture made. This visit should be one week long.

Treatment plans show a great variety, therefore it is best to consult our Dentist for your personal treatment plan and time schedule.
