IMPLANTOLOGY
IMPLANTOLOGY
Tooth loss can occur for a variety of reasons, including trauma, periodontal disease, tooth decay, age-related changes, or developmental conditions. Regardless of the cause, replacing missing teeth is essential to maintain oral health, chewing function and overall comfort. Dental implants provide a stable, long-term solution for tooth replacement. In addition to restoring function, they also play an important role in preserving a natural-looking smile and facial harmony.
The specialist team at OralMed Studio has many years of clinical experience in implant dentistry, combining modern technologies, precise treatment planning, and empathetic patient care to provide safe, predictable, and high-quality treatment outcomes.
Dental implant treatment offers several benefits, including a minimally invasive procedure, a high success rate and long-lasting results.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small artificial tooth root that is placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. Once healed, it provides a strong and stable base for a crown, bridge, or full fixed denture.
A dental implant is a small, screw-shaped artificial tooth root, available in various sizes and shapes. It is usually made of high-purity titanium, a biocompatible material that is well tolerated by the body.
The most suitable implant type is selected after a detailed consultation, clinical examination, and CBCT scan. Thanks to its specially treated surface, the implant is designed to integrate with the surrounding bone and provide a stable, long-lasting foundation for the final restoration.
When are dental implants the right solution?
Dental implants are a suitable solution in most cases where one or more teeth are missing. However, successful implant placement depends on having enough healthy bone to support the implant. If the bone volume is insufficient, bone grafting may be recommended first to create a stable foundation for long-term results.
Why choose dental implants?
- Long-term stability and durability
- Aesthetic, natural-looking tooth replacement
- Helps preserve the jawbone, preventing facial collapse
- Does not require the reduction of adjacent teeth, unlike with traditional bridges
- Excellent chewing function and high level of comfort
- Fully customized solution tailored to individual needs
Are dental implants always successful?
Thanks to modern implant dentistry, dental implants have a very high success rate. However, as with any medical procedure, success cannot be guaranteed in every case.
Long-lasting results depend not only on precise planning and professional treatment, but also on the patient’s daily oral care. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential, including thorough toothbrushing, interdental cleaning and regular professional hygiene appointments — at least once a year, or more frequently if recommended by your dentist or dental hygienist.
From implant placement to the final restoration
After the implant placement, a healing period of approximately 3–4 months is usually required. During this time, the surrounding bone gradually integrates with the implant — a process known as osseointegration — allowing the implant to become stable enough to support the final restoration. Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This small connector extends above the gumline and functions similarly to a prepared natural tooth. Based on a dental impression or digital scan, the final fixed restoration — such as a crown or bridge — is carefully designed and custom-made.
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential both before implant placement and after the final restoration has been fitted. Regular check-ups and professional hygiene appointments are key for lasting treatment success.
The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, but sedation or general anaesthesia may also be available upon request.
How long does healing take?
The surgical site usually heals within a few days, provided there are no underlying medical conditions that may affect the healing process.
Any relevant health conditions will be discussed during the initial consultation and assessment. This is why completing the medical history form accurately and in detail is an important part of a safe and well-planned treatment.
IMPLANT TREATMENT OPTIONS AT ORALMED STUDIO
At OralMed Studio, we offer a range of implant-based solutions tailored to different types of tooth loss — from replacing a single missing tooth to restoring a complete smile.
Single-tooth implant
An effective solution for replacing one missing tooth.
Multiple-tooth implant treatment
A suitable option for replacing several adjacent missing teeth with an implant-supported bridge.
Full-arch implant treatment
A fixed or removable full-arch restoration supported by 4–6 implants.
Immediate implant placement
When sufficient bone is available, the implant may be placed at the same time as tooth extraction.
IMMEDIATE IMPLANTATION, IMMEDIATE RESULTS
In certain cases, immediate implant placement is possible, meaning the implant is placed at the same time as tooth extraction. This can significantly shorten the overall treatment time and help achieve the desired aesthetic result sooner.
The key requirement for this procedure is having sufficient bone available to support the implant safely.
Bone grafting – in cases of insufficient bone volume
When the available bone volume is not sufficient for safe implant placement, bone grafting may be needed to create a stable foundation. Depending on your individual needs, this may involve procedures such as sinus lift, ridge augmentation, or socket preservation.
At OralMed Studio, every treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s clinical situation to ensure the most appropriate solution.
A Comfortable, Pain-Free Treatment Experience
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is completely pain-free. If needed or requested, treatment under general anaesthesia is also available with the involvement of our specialist anaesthesiologist.
Aftercare – the key to implant treatment success
- Thorough toothbrushing and interdental cleaning twice a day
- Regular check-ups every 6–12 months
- Proper cleaning and maintenance of the dental restoration
