A tooth implantation procedure is carried out after the loss of a single tooth or several teeth, which may have occurred for different reasons. Unlike the old tooth restoration techniques that involved prosthetic bridges, the adjacent teeth are now preserved during the tooth implantation procedure.
First, a titanium implant is threaded into the jaw at the location of the lost tooth; this implant will work as a dental root. When the implant is integrated into the bone, it becomes a strong support for the fixation of a dental crown / prosthetic restoration.
The tooth implants are produced from titanium, which is the type of metal that is most often used in surgery. This metal is characterised by the best compatibility with the human body, ensuring a very high likelihood of the implant integration. Patients who follow the recommendations of their doctors and take proper care about their new teeth will usually enjoy their implants for the rest of their life.
Dental implants are located in the same place as your natural teeth, and replace the functions of your lost teeth while also restoring the aesthetic view. By choosing a dental implantation procedure, you can stop the process of bone decay and restore your chewing function completely.

The implantation procedure is not painful. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia and by applying painkillers.
Mild swelling and aching may be reported for a few days after the intervention. Painkillers are prescribed after this procedure.
There are many factors that have an influence on the durability of the integrated implants. One factor is the quality and strength of the patient’s bones – stronger bones are associated with a higher likelihood of integration. Another of the most important factors is the individual care provided to the patient after the treatment, through regular visits to the dentist and oral hygienist.
The situation of each patient is very individual. Several main reasons for an implantation failure could be highlighted:
– poor oral hygiene;
– inflammatory processes;
– acute infections or viral processes;
– smoking.
The usual means are used for implant care: teeth brushing, dental flossing and a rinsing solution. The patient should also visit an oral hygienist every 4–6 months for a professional oral hygiene procedure.
