What if there’s not enough bone?

In case of bone deficiency, it is possible to carry out augmentation or sinus lift. The possibilities are decided after examination and diagnostics.

For a successful dental implant placement, it is necessary to have a satisfactory volume of the jawbone.

If the bone under the gums is not sufficiently voluminous, the procedure is carried out:
dental bone augmentation..

Augmentation implies:

  • transplanting your own bone or
  • installation of artificial bone

The goal of the procedure is to provide sufficient bone volume so that the implant can be safely and steadily implanted.

After the bone upgrading, it is necessary to wait a few months for the bone to fuse completely, after which the implantology procedure can be continued.

What are the health benefits of dental implants?

Patients laugh, speak and photograph again without hesitation, without fear of the lack of teeth.

Unlike classic prosthetic solutions, dental implants do not burden adjacent teeth and help preserve the natural anatomy of the jaw.

Aesthetic reasons for dental implant placement

The dental implant restores the natural appearance of the teeth and smile and has a positive effect on the patient’s confidence.

  • Filling the gap after losing a tooth

  • The impression of a natural tooth by color, shape and position

  • A straight and harmonious smile

  • A permanent solution that does not require compromise in aesthetics

  • Positive impact on psychophysical health and self-confidence

Health reasons for dental implant placement

In addition to aesthetics, implants play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and proper jaw function.

  • Strong and stable bite

  • Comfort when chewing and speaking

  • Preventing the movement of adjacent teeth

  • Preservation of the jawbone and the health of the gums

  • Long-term stable oral health

Who are the candidates for dental implants?

All patients who are missing one or more natural teeth are potential candidates for dental implants.

The decision to implant the implant is not made by a flat-rate, but is based on:

  • clinical evaluation of the oral cavity
  • analysis of X-rays of the edentulous area
  • assessment of the volume and quality of the jawbone

The position, length and diameter of the implant are selected individually, according to the anatomical and morphological characteristics of the jawbone, in order to achieve maximum stability and long-term success of the procedure.

Why is it important to check the general health of the patient?

The general health of the patient plays a key role in the success and longevity of dental implants.

A particularly important factor is:

  • level of vitamin D, which directly affects the health of the dental bone and the process of osteointegration

During the examination, Dr. Vedran Šebečić will instruct you what findings need to be removed in order to collect the complete health diagnostics necessary for the safe assessment of the candidate for surgery.

This approach allows:

  • reducing the risk of complications
  • better treatment of implants with bone
  • long-term stable and healthy result

Is a dental implant a long-term solution?

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing a lost tooth.

After the installation and completion of the osteointegration process:

  • The implant becomes a unique whole with a jaw
  • Ensures the stability of the dental crown or dental bridge
  • patient implant feels like your own tooth

Compared to a dental bridge, implants permanently solve the problem of one or more missing teeth, without the need to sand healthy adjacent teeth.
