Losing a tooth or several teeth can be a stressful experience that affects not only your smile, but also your overall quality of life. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers an effective and permanent solution – dental implants . In our Poladent practice in Pilsen, under the leadership of MDDr. Polach, we specialize in top implantology and help our patients regain a beautiful and functional smile.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth replacement that is inserted directly into the jawbone. After proper fusion with the bone, it serves as a stable base for a crown, bridge, or complete denture. Thanks to this solution, you can eat, talk, and smile comfortably again without worrying about removable dentures.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Modern implantology offers many benefits over traditional solutions such as bridges or removable dentures. The main advantages of dental implants include:
1. Natural appearance and functionality
Dental implants are as close to natural teeth in appearance and function as possible. They are firmly anchored in the jaw and do not limit your daily activities.
2. Long service life
With proper care, implants can last for decades , which is a huge advantage over other solutions that have a limited lifespan.
3. Jawbone protection
After tooth loss, bone loss occurs , which can change the shape of the face. Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent it from losing its shape, thus preserving the natural structure of the face.
4. No damage to surrounding teeth
With a traditional bridge, adjacent healthy teeth must be ground down, which is irreversible. Implants eliminate this problem and keep other teeth intact.
What materials are used?
The most common material for making dental implants is titanium . This metal is biocompatible, which means that it is well accepted by the human body and the risk of rejection is minimized. There are also ceramic implants, which are used mainly for aesthetic reasons, but titanium remains the most durable and reliable solution .
How is a dental implant inserted?
The whole process consists of several steps:
- Consultation and planning – At your first visit, your doctor will conduct a thorough examination, take X-rays, and suggest the optimal solution.
- Surgical implant placement – The implant is inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia, which is a painless procedure .
- Healing and bone fusion – The process of osseointegration usually takes several weeks to months.
- Insertion of a replacement tooth – After successful healing, a crown or other prosthetic replacement is attached to the implant.
