Dental implants are the first aid for anyone who has lost a tooth, because, unlike removable dentures, they preserve their remaining natural teeth, avoiding the build-up of plaque, inflammation of the gums, and profuse bleeding.
If you lose one or more teeth, it is important to seek immediate treatment – if you delay and do not receive constant stimulation, the bone will eventually begin to erode, causing significant aesthetic and functional changes. In just the first year after tooth loss, the bone volume decreases by 25 % and over the years the implant procedure becomes more complex, as it can no longer be carried out without additional bone restoration procedures.
In certain situations, after a CT scan has been performed and it is clear that there is not enough bone for implantation, it is necessary to raise the height of the jaw, in which case bone tissue must be added to the sinus floor. This procedure creates the necessary height of the jaw ridge to ensure a successful dental implant placement. Approximately 4-6 months after the surgery, the bone inserted into the sinus will have grown in the blood vessels and will have fully healed, at which point the dental implants can be threaded. A small incision is made in the mucosa and the implant is threaded in – everything is sutured and left to heal. 4-6 months after the surgery, the prosthetic phase can begin. If a tooth has been removed a long time ago, or if the bone is in a difficult condition and there is not enough bone, then bone grafting is one of the options for restoring the tooth.
