A dental implant is a medical device in biomedical titanium, a high biocompatible material that replace the natural tooth root into the area where teeth are missing, reproducing the same shape and size. After the implant is placed into the jawbone, it has to remain without weight until the osseo-integration, this takes about 3 months.
It is possible in specific condition. With a single session it allows to place the implant and fix the prosthesis during the same procedure or within 24 hours.
Benefits:
It is a procedure that enables a whole set of permanent teeth to be fixed in place by just 4 – All on four- or 6 – All on six – dental implants in each arch. Implants are fixed with a surgical operation, under local anesthesia. The restoration is placed immediately or within 24 hours over the implants. It is a cost savings procedure because less expensive components are used and it takes less time to be completed as compared to the traditional implants procedure.
It offers a fixed prosthesis. It is more similar in look and function to natural teeth and the dental hygiene is simpler for the patient.
Advanced implant surgery is a set of dental surgery procedures that allows the placement of an implant also for patients with loss bone. In these cases it is possible to place the implants doing a maxillary sinus elevation procedure or increasing the bone volume.
Maxillary sinus elevation is a surgery procedure that increases the bone volume in the upper dental arch; it is needed when the normal implant procedure is not feasible.
Bone graft is a surgery procedure that replaces the missing bone with an artificial one, natural or synthetic commonly used in dentistry, this allows the placement of dental implants.
Split Crest is a procedure that can enlarge the mandibular or maxillary crest bone, allowing the implant placement also in patients with thin crests. This is common when a tooth has been missing since a long time.
Guided Bone Regeneration is used to create a new bone needed for the reconstruction of the damaged alveolar ridge that can be done before or together with the implant placement procedure. It is done by using resorbable or non-resorbable membranes and other kind of filling materials.
