Dental implants

Installing dental implants is a surgical procedure that replaces a lost tooth or multiple teeth. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root and is most often made of titanium that is placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are a solution that restores the shape of the face, the functionality of the jaw and solves aesthetic defects.

Advantages of dental implants:

They restore the ability to chew and speak properly;
Restore the aesthetics of the face;
They protect the bone from resorption/melting and the appearance of ridges, i.e. bumps, which are very unpleasant increase self-confidence in social interaction.

Implants as an effective solution

Dental implants create a completely natural look and feel in your mouth, so you can have the impression that you never lost a tooth. If you don’t have enough self-confidence when smiling or your prosthesis creates an unnatural feeling in your mouth – implants are for you. Also, if you have difficulty chewing or your face has lost clear lines due to the lack of teeth, a dental implant is the solution that eliminates your problems.

Steps in the dental implant installation procedure:

The most important thing before the procedure itself and the insertion of the implant is to talk with our expert in order to eliminate any doubt. The first step of consultation is actually getting to know each other and gaining mutual trust. At Smile Time, it is very important that you, as clients, have a good experience and that you are relaxed before the procedures themselves.

Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with our oral surgeon. During this examination, the doctor will evaluate your oral health and jaw structure to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.

Planning: If you are a candidate for dental implants, detailed planning of the procedure follows. This includes x-rays and scans of the jaws to determine the exact position of the implant.

Surgical installation: The implant installation procedure itself is performed during the surgical procedure:

Placing an implant in the bone,
Gum healing and bone implant integration,
Taking impressions to make a crown/bridge or to stabilize a prosthesis,
Crown/bridge cementation or prosthesis stabilization,
After the placement of the implant, a period of 3 to 6 months must pass for the implant to bind to the bones.

Once the implant and bone have joined, a 5 to 10 day visit is required to create the crown or bridge and build it onto the implant.

Healing phase (osseointegration): After placement, the implant will need time to integrate with the bones, which is called osseointegration. This process takes several months and allows the implant to become firmly rooted in the jaw.

Fabrication and placement of a replacement tooth: In order to fabricate a replacement tooth (crown, bridge or prosthesis) after healing, a visit to the doctor is required for five to ten days. This multi-tooth replacement is absolutely matched to the color, shape and size of your natural teeth to achieve a natural look.

Are dental implants painful, uncomfortable or scary?

The installation process itself is performed under local anesthesia, which makes it completely pain-free. The experience of people who have installed implants is that the procedure itself is not painful at all. Many of our clients have told us after the procedure that this was less painful for them than tooth extraction. Likewise, many patients come with the preconceived notion that the procedure itself is painful, and then they cannot relax. The Smile Time clinic advises you to relax completely, since the procedure itself is painless. The testimony of our patients also speaks in support of this, you can relax freely.

Will I be toothless for a while?

Most of our patients ask before the intervention itself: Am I without teeth the whole time while the procedure lasts?

To answer that frequently asked question: There are several ways to temporarily replace a missing tooth during the implant healing period. Many people wear their old dentures that they already have from before.

For those who don’t want to be without a missing tooth during that time, there are temporary bridges attached to adjacent teeth. Also, if the situation in the mouth is such that a temporary bridge cannot be made, temporary prostheses are made that patients wear during the bone healing period for the implant.

It means that whatever your stated situation is, you will not be without teeth in any situation. The Smile Time clinic is here to plan every step for you in advance, so that you are adequately taken care of at every moment and that you endure the recovery process in the best possible way without any drawbacks.
