The most modern type of prosthetics is now considered to be dental implantation.
If one or more teeth have been lost due to untreated caries, pulpitis or another oral disease, you should think about implantation. This type of prosthetics is ideal for you if you are a supporter of modern approaches and a supporter of progress in medicine, value comfort and lead an active lifestyle.
The undeniable advantages of dental implants are their qualities such as:
- creation of a permanent, non-removable prosthesis;
- complete replacement of not only the tooth, but also the root;
- preventing bone tissue atrophy at the site of tooth loss;
- the implant has its own safety margin;
- The implant not only does not require support from neighboring teeth, but can also serve as support in a combination of various types of prosthetics;
- the implant installation process does not require grinding of adjacent teeth;
- you will feel the familiar taste of food and will not experience discomfort from pieces getting stuck in the crowns;
- the healing process occurs as quickly as possible;
- you are guaranteed to forget which of your teeth is an implant, because it will be absolutely indistinguishable.
If you experience embarrassment and irritation from the absence of a tooth or several teeth, if you are tired of wearing bulky dentures or suffer from old methods of prosthetics, then a modern method of prosthetics - DENTAL IMPLANTATION - will be your salvation! tel. 8 (495) 638-05-05

“I expected that healing after implantation would be long and not the most pleasant period in my life. Words cannot express how glad I am that I was wrong! I didn't have to change my plans and I was able to go on vacation with my family without worrying about my new tooth. I haven’t rested so well for a long time!”
Victor 37 years old
After losing one tooth, I didn’t want to put up a dental bridge or grind down the good neighboring teeth, because I was young and this prospect didn’t make me happy. I decided to get a dental implant. Now my new tooth is like my own. The surgeon performed the operation so quickly that I didn’t even have time to blink an eye (I was just worrying in vain), and the implant took root without problems, the doctor monitored the healing process periodically, and then they took an impression of me and put a crown on the implant. No discomfort, and that's important. I am very, very pleased!!!

What allows you to achieve such a wonderful effect with dental implants?
During the installation of the implant, to create a safety margin, a titanium rod is used as a root, onto which an implant created specifically for you is attached on top. The materials used for implantation are environmentally friendly and safe when used in combination with biological tissues, which explains the 100% engraftment rate. The tooth created in this way will function and look absolutely natural, and can also serve as a support when using other prosthetic methods. If you are not satisfied with the natural appearance of your teeth, an implant may motivate you to install veneers, whiten your teeth, or straighten your teeth.
Another undeniable advantage is that the implant protects bone tissue from atrophy at the site of tooth loss, and, consequently, from jaw deformation.
Indications for implantation may include:
- single dental defects;
- included defects;
- end defects;
- complete absence of teeth.
Types and stages of dental implantation
Currently, there are two main methods for implantation:
One-stage implantation
One-stage dental implantation technology involves the installation of non-removable implants. A special bone bed is formed, onto which an implant is subsequently installed, with a support head protruding into the oral cavity. Prosthetics are performed a few days after the operation. Many people have done dental implants in a similar way. Reviews indicate the effectiveness of this method.
Two-stage dental implantation
Two-stage dental implantation differs in that first the internal element (the root part of the dental implant) is installed in the bone bed on the jaw, then the gingival cuff former is placed, sutures are applied to the mucous membrane, and the prosthesis is placed depending on the location after several months (two to three months in case of installation on the lower jaw, four to six – on the upper jaw).
Implantation can also be immediate or delayed. A technique such as direct dental implantation is characterized by the installation of an implant immediately after tooth extraction. The dimensions of the alveolar socket and the dental implant are not identical, and most often this technology is used when implanting teeth in two stages, because During it, the root part of the dental implant is installed for engraftment.
Unlike immediate dental implantation, delayed dental implantation involves placing a dental implant in the bone bed after a sufficiently long time (up to nine months) after tooth extraction, so that the bone tissue has time to rebuild.
Express dental implantation
Express dental implantation is a low-traumatic technology with which you can regain a confident, wide smile in just a few visits to the clinic! What are the differences between the express implantation method and the advantages over conventional dental implantation?
When using the traditional technique, it is necessary to make an incision in the gum, apply sutures after installing the implant, then, after three to six months, open the gum again, install a gum adapter, then an abutment and an implant crown. Express dental implantation does not require cutting the gums and placing sutures at the implant installation site - it is inserted transgingivally (through a puncture in the gum), a gingival adapter and a temporary crown are placed, this is very convenient for the patient, since immediately after the procedure you can eat without experiencing pain and discomfort. The whole procedure takes no more than fifteen minutes. Express dental implantation allows you to avoid pain after implant installation and provides aesthetic benefits. After four months, a permanent crown is installed on the dental implant.

Express dental implantation requires the highest professionalism of dentists and the availability of modern technology. When choosing an implantation method, it is necessary to take into account that with express implantation there is a risk of implant rejection, and this method may not be indicated for all patients. Therefore, before implantation, it is necessary to discuss all the nuances of the operation with your doctor. Attention, you should not agree to the operation if the cost of implantation is suspiciously low or you are promised large discounts. As a rule, the outcome of the operation will not be what you expect, and retreatment will cost several times more. It will also be useful to familiarize yourself with the results of the query “dental implantation reviews,” since experienced specialists have an extensive portfolio.
Dental implants are presented in dentistry in several dozen varieties. The most common are root-shaped dental implants, which during the process of osseointegration (fusion with the jaw bone) take on the functions of a natural root; they are screw, plate or cylindrical. Screw and cylindrical dental implants are preferable if the thickness of the jaw bone tissue is sufficient, otherwise blood circulation in the jaw may be impaired. If the bone tissue is not massive enough, plate dental implants are used. The special flattened shape of such an implant makes it possible to implant teeth in elderly people or install a dental implant in cases where the volume of bone tissue has decreased due to the fact that the tooth was removed long ago.
In case of significant atrophic changes in the jaw bone tissue, subperiosteal implants are used, which are inserted under the periosteum. Endodontic dental implants make it possible to secure the patient’s own teeth in place (the tooth must be healthy) during operations involving the root of the tooth.
An alternative to root-shaped implants is mini-dental. They are convenient in that they are installed in one visit to the dentist and firmly secure removable dentures; after installation, immediate loading on the implants is possible without restrictions. But mini-dental implants are used only for light dentures; structures such as bridges and crowns require root-shaped implants. Similar dental implants have accumulated reviews confirming the effectiveness of the method.
Contraindications to dental implantation
Dental implantation is a progressive technique that allows you to quickly solve many problems, restoring the ability to give happy smiles to others and not limit yourself to eating your favorite foods. However, we must remember that dental implantation is a surgical intervention associated with the implantation of a titanium implant into the bone. Therefore, in some cases there are contraindications to such effects on the body as dental implantation.
Contraindications to dental implantation are associated with a number of chronic diseases: disorders of the nervous system, tuberculosis, diseases of the immune system, blood, connective and bone tissues, insulin-dependent diabetes, scleroderma, rheumatic diseases and dysfunction of the oral mucosa. These are absolute contraindications to dental implantation. Relative contraindications to implantation, in which it is possible in the future, are arthritis of the jaw joints, atrophy of the jaw bone tissue, abnormal bite, fragility of tooth enamel, the presence of other metal implants in the patient (for example, artificial joints), a pacemaker, pregnancy and lactation, coffee abuse, alcoholism, drug addiction, smoking.
Bruxism (teeth grinding syndrome) is most often regarded as a contraindication to dental implantation. There are also contraindications to dental implantation, such as, for example, an increased risk of injury associated with the patient’s profession or the sport in which he plays.
After dental implantation
So, dental implantation has been successfully completed, you are satisfied and believe that all problems have been solved.
Of course it is. However, do not forget that in order to maintain the achieved results after dental implantation, you must follow certain hygiene rules. How to care for the oral cavity after dental implantation? To do this, you need to remember the basic recommendations for denture hygiene. You should clean your dentures with a regular toothbrush, but you should choose toothpastes designed to prevent diseases such as gingivitis and periodontal disease. Be sure to use floss (dental floss) and a dental brush to care for the gingival part of the denture. After dental implantation, you should make it a permanent habit to rinse your mouth with water after every meal, and use a 0.1% solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate to rinse your mouth two to three times a week.
By following these simple rules after dental implantation, you will help your dental implants remain in good condition for many years, reinforcing the efforts of the dentist with a respectful attitude towards your own health.
Choice according to indications and budget
The best dentures are those that are indicated for the patient. Generally speaking, the most modern designs will be those based on implants. However, there are two very important points here: implantation has a number of limitations and is considered an expensive procedure (especially if we are talking about complete dental restoration). In this case, other structures come to the rescue, which are also designed to restore chewing function and aesthetics. Before we start talking about the different systems in more detail, we need to make some distinctions so that you don't get confused.
All dentures are usually divided into several types. First of all, the number of teeth being replaced is taken into account: this criterion implies the installation of a partial or complete denture. According to the method of fixation of the structure in the oral cavity, removable, conditionally removable and fixed dentures are distinguished. Which ones are better - read on.
Which material is better and will last longer?
The material from which the prosthesis is made has the greatest impact on wearing comfort, and this is especially true for removable structures. If no errors were made during the manufacture of the structure itself, but the prosthesis still causes significant discomfort, then the problem is most likely due to the poor quality of the material. Of course, no such design can provide 100% convenience (especially at the adaptation stage), but modern materials make it possible to achieve very high performance. So, what qualities should the best materials for dentures have:
- Hypoallergenic.
Many people are allergic to dyes and acrylates. - "Friendly" to gums.
If the denture rubs the gums a lot, wearing it will be a complete torture. - Color fastness.
Immunity to staining and environmental influences. - Acceptable strength.
Despite the fact that a removable denture rarely lasts more than 5–6 years, the structure should not be overly fragile.
If we talk about specific brands of removable dentures, the best lamellar denture is considered to be Acry-Free (“Acry-Free”) made of acrylic-free plastic: it is very comfortable, does not shrink when worn, does not stain and does not cause allergies. The best nylon dentures at the moment are Quadrotti. However, they have limitations for use: to install such a prosthesis, one of the jaws must have several healthy teeth, however, like other clasp-type prostheses. As for non-removable systems, metal-free structures are increasingly being used, which look more aesthetically pleasing, do not cause allergies, but are no less durable.
