DENTAL IMPLANTS

Today, dental implants are routinely used to replace extracted teeth and restore missing teeth in general. Implant placement at Dental Estetic Studio is a completely safe and painless procedure, without a long recovery period or with only a mild and minimal reaction. Dental implants can replace one tooth, several teeth, or all teeth in one jaw when 4–6 implants are placed using the All-on-4 bridge concept. They allow patients to receive fixed teeth.

By placing dental implants, we enable:

1. avoiding the need to grind down healthy adjacent teeth in order to place a bridge
2. preventing the deterioration of surrounding teeth, which can shift and deteriorate faster due to missing teeth
3. a dental implant restores chewing function in the same way as a natural tooth
4. an aesthetic replacement of the missing tooth, since tooth loss remains one of the greatest aesthetic deficiencies of a smile

What are the requirements for receiving a dental implant:

1. sufficient bone height and width at the implant placement site, which we assess through an examination and panoramic X-ray at our dental practice, and if necessary, we perform a CT scan
2. absence of certain medical conditions that could affect this minor surgical procedure (such as uncontrolled high blood sugar, severe blood clotting disorders, etc.)
3. financial possibility – dental implants are imported and have a higher cost, although financially the placement of an implant is similar to preparing two adjacent teeth and creating a three-unit bridge

How can a patient choose the right dental practice for dental implant placement among the many different offers, prices, and clinics?

Important factors for long-term success and excellent aesthetic and functional results:

1. Who performs the implant placement – it is important that the procedure is performed by an experienced oral surgeon with a large number of successfully placed implants, as is the case at Dental Estetic Studio.
2. The type of dental implants – this is an extremely important factor. Saving money by choosing poor-quality and inexpensive dental implants can compromise the long-term success of the treatment. Therefore, after working with various implant systems from around the world for more than 20 years, Dr. Knego and her team today use two implant systems: NOBEL and MIS, which are currently among the most recognized in the world. They provide important characteristics for long-term success, predictable implantation results, and biocompatibility, including high titanium purity and implant design and surface treatment developed for optimal results.

The importance of proper implant treatment planning and the creation of appropriate prosthetic restorations on implants – this is an extremely important factor that requires extensive experience. At Dental Estetic Studio, this is performed by Dr. Knego, who has twenty years of experience with dental implants and implant-supported prosthetics.

1. using a conventional surgical approach
2. without a traditional surgical procedure, incisions, or sutures, using guided implantology
