If several years ago, people who suffered from complete tooth loss had to make do with dentures, today with the help of an innovative technique the function of the teeth can be restored through permanent implants implanted in an innovative technique.
Moreover, even those who suffer from only partial tooth loss can benefit from the results of the method.
Let's start with a few facts: Our tooth root is actually the one that connects them to the bone and allows their stability.
Dental implants are designed to replace the damaged natural root for one reason or another, and they make it possible to perform the dental implant on top of it.

How to plant an artificial root?
Well, first, the patient is referred for a CT scan that allows for accurate data about the oral cavity and the dimensions of the tooth structure.
The attending physician then selects the type of implant that is appropriate for the patient.
Next, the implant itself will be performed, by cutting the gums and inserting the implant into the bone.
Then wait about three to four months for the bone in place to heal and then it will be possible to "dress" on the implant the structure on which the tooth sits.
In the final step, a crown is placed over the tooth.
And this is it - the process will end and the patient will be able to enjoy stable and beautiful teeth.
Who is it for?
The method is intended for people over the age of 18 who suffer from complete or partial tooth loss.
When the process is for people whose bone tissue is missing in the oral cavity, another process will be required that will include a bone graft in the sinuses, called a "sinus lift."
The method is intended for people over the age of 18.

Is it advisable to perform a dental implant in one day?
definitely not.
Although it is not uncommon to come across publications about the possibility of undergoing a complete dental implant in one day, but despite the temptation, it is actually a method that is not recommended at all.
The reason is that it is important to allow the bone to heal and only then perform the transplant.
If you do not perform a correct, accurate and structured process, the result may be a dental implant that will only last for a short time.
To understand the matter, try to think about building a building - in order for it to last for many years, it is worth investing well in building the foundations, right?
This is exactly the case when it comes to dental implants.
How long does an average dental implant take?
The transplant itself takes about half an hour.
The whole process takes about six months.
Our teeth are essential not only for the sake of aesthetics - they allow us to eat, talk and their presence in the mouth is very important. Dental implants are intended for people who suffer from partial or complete tooth loss, and are a convenient, aesthetic and useful solution. Because a quality implant process is one that takes at least several months.
