What are the benefits of the implants in comparison with other prosthetic possibilities?

Missing one or more teeth? Having trouble eating certain food items or speaking clearly because you are missing a tooth? Suffering due to uncomfortable dentures that do not fit well? If that’s the case, dental implants are the right solution for you. Dental implants serve as support elements for replacement teeth that look, function and feel natural, and ensure numerous benefits such as:

they eliminate the need to grind the healthy teeth, which would be needed in the case of using the traditional technique of constructing dental crowns and bridges;

they help maintain face structure and bone tissue in the jaw;

they eliminate the need to use denture adhesives and help eliminate uneasiness caused by poorly fitting dentures.

How do the implants function?

A dental implant is a small screw that functions as an artificial tooth root. It is surgically inserted into the jawbone. It is made of titanium, a metal well received by the human body that integrates with the bone, thus forming a firm and stable foundation. After the implant is osteointegrated, a prosthetic element is fixed onto it. Dental crowns, bridges or dentures are built onto prosthetic elements.

Is implantology safe? Has it been tested?

For over 40 years now, dental implants have been successfully used all over the world as one of the possible treatments in the case of patients missing one or more teeth. The Astra Tech implantology system has been developed on biologic and biomechanical principles. It is one of the rare implantology systems with detailed documentation, supported by numerous clinical and scientific tests. The design of Astra Tech implants enables faster healing period, excellent esthetic results, shortens the time spent in a dentist’s chair, and increases the certainty of long-term results.
