Dental Implants

What is a Dental Implant?

High Quality Dental Implants

In our dental office we collaborate with the best companies worldwide, providing you with the best quality dental implants.

All the dental implants we use are made from special treated titanium, which is a biocompatible material and provides uninterrupted osteointegration.

They are surgically placed on the jaw bone in order to create the base on which the artificial tooth (crown) will be placed.

They are placed with administering local anesthesia. About 3 months after, bone cells are created around the implant, integrating it into the jaw bone (osteointegration).

Once incorporated into the jaw, the prosthetic work (crown, bridge or denture) is added and bonded.

Dental Implants placing procedures

For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical phases.
During the first one the implant is implanted into the bone.

For the first 3-4 months, after surgery, the dental implants are covered by the gums and are gradually integrated into the jaw bone (process of osteoinstruction).

Following the integration, the second surgical phase follows, called the “revealing” of the implants.
Under local anesthesia, the implants are revealed from the gums and a small screw is screwed onto them, which protrudes from the gum surface about 1 – 2 mm.

Two to three weeks later, the healing screw gives its place, temporarily, to the imprint axis, and the imprint with the positions of the implants is then taken to the lab so that the final restoration is constructed.

The total procedure from the first visit up until to the final placement of the work lasts about 3-4 months.
Most patients do not experience any change in their daily routine during the above period.
