Implants
Implants replace your
missing tooth and feel as if you've got your
natural tooth back. For this reason,
implants are among the best solutions in
cases of tooth replacement. They can replace
one or more teeth, and are also used for
stabilising and retaining dentures.
Many patients, for various reasons, have
trouble getting used to dentures. Fixed
prosthetic works on implants resolve such
issues.
An implant consists of an artificial root
which is implanted in the bone. After a
period of time necessary for ossification,
other parts are made, including a crown or a
bridge.
In any case, implants improve the quality of
life.
Implants are nothing new today, nor are they
considered experimental. The beginnings of
implantology took place back in 1950's in
Sweden, and implants became widely used
during 1980's and 1990's. Implant success
rate today is 90-95 %.
The advantages of implants reflect in the
fact that they are independent and do not
require honing the surrounding healthy
teeth. Additionally, they contribute to the
preservation of the bone. No other methods
offer such advantages; for example, dentures
accelerate the deterioration of the bone
which makes them more uncomfortable and less
stable in time.
