The stages of simultaneous implantation
-
Assessment and planning: Dentists of Olympus Clinics carry out an assessment of the condition of the teeth and bone tissue of the patient's jaw during a consultation. They will also take X-rays to study the bone structure in more detail and determine the location of the implant.
-
Tooth extraction: A tooth that can no longer be saved is removed in an atraumatic way.
-
Implant placement: After tooth extraction and bone preparation, the implant is inserted into the jaw bone. The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum, places the implant in the bone. The implant is usually made of titanium, which "fuses" well with the bone (the process is called osseointegration).
-
Installation of a crown (or orthopedic structure): After successful osseointegration, a crown is installed on the implant, which replaces the missing tooth.
-
Monitoring and care: After installing the prosthesis, you will need to visit the dentist regularly to monitor healing. Our dentists at Olympus Clinics will draw up a detailed plan for the care of implants at home.
Advantages of simultaneous implantation
-
Less treatment time. Simultaneous implantation allows the implant to be installed immediately after tooth extraction, which reduces the total treatment time. You will not need to undergo a long healing period before the implant is installed.
-
Preservation of bone tissue. The procedure helps to preserve bone tissue, as the implant can stimulate bone growth.
-
Saving resources. Immediate implantation reduces the number of visits to the dentist and treatment stages, which saves you time and money.
-
Aesthetics. The prosthesis returns you an attractive smile, restores the health of the oral cavity.
-
Less discomfort. The procedure reduces the number of surgical steps, so patients experience less discomfort and fear.
-
Reduction of bone loss. Dental implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which occurs after tooth loss.
-
Improvement of chewing function. Implants restore chewing function, which helps to improve overall health.
Contraindications to simultaneous implantation
Insufficient bone tissue: If the patient does not have enough bone tissue in the area where the implant is planned to be installed. In such cases, an additional bone augmentation procedure may be necessary before the implant is installed.
Inflammatory diseases. People with active inflammatory gum diseases such as periodontitis. Inflammation can slow down the healing process, osteointegration.
Common health problems. Patients with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or heart problems (for example, arrhythmia, or hypertension) may be denied the procedure. These conditions can increase the risk of complications and slow down the healing process.
Individual characteristics of the patient. Anatomical features, such as the size and shape of the jaw, may be a contraindication to the procedure. Another factor is age. In children and adolescents, bones are still developing. It takes time for the bone to fully form before the implant is installed.
Do not rush to get upset if any of the points match your situation. Experienced dentists at Olympus Clinics will conduct a thorough assessment of the condition of the oral cavity, ask about your medical history. They will tell you if a single-stage implantation is suitable for you or offer an alternative treatment method.
