Dental prosthetics of implants

A loss of one or several teeth together with roots may cause in future serious problems of the whole oral cavity and teeth aesthetics. When a single tooth is lost other teeth may become moving and change their position. This will lead to occlusion change, loss of other teeth functions, caries and parodentium diseases.

Presently, one of the most successful solutions of this problem is implantation, that is replacement of the missing tooth with an implant. Implants are delivered in sterile packaging (as a rule, double or triple).

Implant is screwed into the bone instead of the lost tooth root, in a while (after the implant is osseointegrated) titanium sleeve is screwed onto the implant. The last serves as a basis for the artificial tooth.

Dental implantation is recommended to those patients that have one or more missing teeth. Or in the case all the teeth are missing.

• adjacent teeth are preserved;
• functional and aesthetic improvements provide the comfort that is very often impossible to achieve in classic prosthetics;
• prosthesis on implants serves twice as long as ordinary prosthesis.

A characteristic peculiarity of any kind of modern treatment (including dental one) with the using of implants is the examination of patient's health, patient's participation in discussing the questions of implantation and further prosthetics. After necessary examinations dentist is to work out the general treatment and prosthetics sequence. Dentist's clear understanding of implants biomechanics allows to choose the best scheme of treatment for each patient in order to reduce the risk of functional complications appearing.

How long do implants serve?

Statisticians claim that implants may serve the whole life of patient. Prosthesis with the implant basis is treated as a natural tooth.
