ARTIFICIAL TOOTH ROOT
Tooth implants are placed in the bone of the jaw in order to support artificial teeth
Tooth implants are considered to be the best restorative choice for missing teeth and in the long run, the best investment for the oral health and function.
Implants are titanium “screws”, that are placed in the bone of the jaw, supporting one or more artificial teeth. They provide aesthetics, comfort and stability at chewing, avoiding any drilling of the adjacent healthy teeth by preparing them for a bridge or a removable prosthesis(denture). The modern materials that are used for the construction of the implants, as well as the surgical techniques for the placement, are evolving rapidly increasing their success rates. Tooth implants can now be bio-compatible, anti-allergic and harmless for the patient’s health.
The biggest implants companies provide a certificate for a lifetime guarantee of the implant and their prognosis is absolutely successful. Scientific research has shown that dental implants remain on the jaw even after 30 years of use, with a survival rate for the prosthetics over 95% for 10 years. The implant placement may require a panoramic x-ray and a CT scan. The treatment is planned in cooperation with an implant surgeon, depending on the needs and requirements of each patient.
The treatment is completed in two phases. The first one is the surgical phase where the placement of the tooth implant takes place. After 3-6 months, a necessary timeline for the area to be healed and the osteointegration to be completed, the prosthetics phase takes in for the placement of the prosthetics restorations.
