Dental implants and prices

Types of dental implantsImplantation is a field of dentistry, which has high rates of development in our country. From year to year, an increasing number of people choose it as the main species. dental prosthetics.

How do dentists understand the term “dental implants”? The following are definitions. By implantation is meant the introduction into the body of non-biological materials to restore the functions of a lost organ. Dentistry uses titanium material, it is well tolerated, does not cause allergies and rejection of the body. It is mounted in a cylindrical helical form, which resembles the root of a tooth, penetrating into the jaw area, where teeth are missing.

What is dental implantation?

Implant, implant, implant is artificial titanium rootscrewed into the bone instead of the missing tooth, and on which a crown is subsequently placed.

Implantation can be done in the absence of one, several or all teeth. The implant is placed in the bone tissue of a certain size. If the bone volume is not enough, then it builds up. (It decreases immediately after a tooth is removed, when there is no habitual chewing load from food).

The terms of implantation can be different: from two weeks to one and a half years. It depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the oral cavity, as well as the quality of the bone tissue.

Implantation can be one-step, when it immediately ends with a prosthesis and two-step, with the installation of the prosthesis in time.

Types of implants

  • Screw implantsScrew. The job of implantation is to immerse the titanium screw in the canal of the tooth. First, a temporary crown made of plastic is attached to the screw, and then a permanent crown, which can be made of any precious metal or ceramic. The price consists of the choice of material. Implants can be of different models: collapsible, non-collapsible, with a biological coating, with a smooth surface or rough.
  • Submersible. Such models are made of titanium case with surface polishing, implanted in bone tissue. The body consists of a resistant thread, which is fixed in the channel.

Advantages of implants

  1. Natural teeth restoration. Dental implantation is artificially restored by their roots, so the load on the bone tissue is obtained by the natural, inherent nature, bone deformation is excluded. With a conventional prosthesis, only the tip of the tooth is restored.
  2. Great aesthetic look. Dental implants made out of dentures with crowns under the natural tone of the teeth, so they look natural and natural.
  3. No damage to adjacent teeth. Since the implants are implanted into the bone tissue, the adjacent teeth are not ground or injured.
  4. Long term construction. Implants implanted into bone tissue will last until the end of life, prostheses fixed on them for about twenty years. Thus, two and a half times longer than when installed on the gums or adjacent teeth.
  5. Reliable fixation of crowns. Artificial prostheses are integral with the implants, as they are securely fastened, not shifting even when chewing solid food.And the strength of metal or ceramic crowns are comparable to natural enamel. They are not removed, but brushed like their teeth.

Dental implants - prices

Partial prostheticsNowadays, the average price for tooth restoration is in the range of 25 thousand and 40 thousand rubles. It depends on the trademark designs for implantation. Also, the cost is influenced by the qualifications of the attending physician, the prestige of the dental clinic and the need for additional operations, for example, to increase bone tissue and treatment.

You need to know that removable dental implants, which can significantly save on implantation, can do a little cheaper. Also ongoing actions to restore teeth can reduce the cost of work.

Affordable prices for dental implants offer us Israeli manufacturers, their cost starts from 15 thousand rubles. Their firms, for example, Alpha Bio, produce high-quality, with good technical characteristics, long service life implants. Offers of Israeli brands are the most profitable.

What is the cost of an implant?

Doctors dentists understand by implant only implantation into the body of artificial material. Then a crown is put on the implanted implant, which can be made of any material, starting with plastic and ending with gold. And the choice of the crown depends on the specific case and financial possibilities of the patient. Therefore, the cost of restoration of the tooth depends on the choice of material of the crown.

In the price list of the clinic or on the website the price is indicated only for the implantation of a dental implant, not including the cost of the crown. Moreover, the cost of implanting a tooth and the price of an implant are not the same thing. The price of an implant may be included in the cost of dental implants. In some clinics the price is indicated only for the work on implantation, since the models and manufacturers are different. Therefore, in order not to overpay, you need to know exactly what and at what price, then sum up all the costs: the price of the implant, the work of the doctor, the price of crowns, and so on, which make up the total cost of tooth restoration.

If you decide to implant

Stages of installation of implants

New technology diagnosticsFirst done panoramic shot of teeth or, if the case is complex, it will direct you to 3 D diagnostics. At this stage is determined by the possibility of increasing bone tissue, if it is not enough. Advanced technologies guarantee good results in working with bone, therefore in 80% of cases the bone is suitable for implantation. The next step is to collect blood tests. Here the doctor is mainly interested in the level of platelets and glucose. To succeed, it is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis, so these activities are carried out.

The next stage is characterized by implantation of artificial root. One unit takes only 20 minutes. If necessary, bone tissue will be restored to normal. The implant is inserted under the gum.

After 10 days, a checkup is performed, and the stitches are removed, then wait 4 months. The last stage, if the dental implant has got accustomed, begins with the installation of a ceramic crown, which is selected according to the color of the adjacent teeth. It can be cermet or zirconia. All you got is a new tooth!

Contraindications for the installation of implants

Hepatitis C, AIDS, insulin-dependent diabetes - these diseases are contraindications to the installation of implants. Detailed information about the state of health, stages of restoration of teeth and contraindications are provided by the doctor after the examination.

How long does it take to implant teeth?

Implant rejection

In some cases, the installation of implants takes 2 hours. But it depends on the state of health and the choice of technology. Sometimes, for example, with a blood disorder, several visits to the dentist are required.The procedure begins with the implantation of the implant in the bone, then the doctor needs time to convince that the process of fusion of titanium and bone is successful, after which the crown is fixed.

This operation is quite painless and can be used in pediatric dentistry. The dental canal, where previously there were teeth, as a rule, no longer has nerves and blood vessels, so the sensitivity of this area is reduced and is quite tolerable even in the absence of anesthesia.

What is the probability of implant rejection?

This the rate is 6%. The probability of rejection depends on some factors, including individual characteristics of the organism, for example, the presence of gum disease or the thickness of the bone at the implant site.

The basis of the design is titanium rodThis material fuses well with the jaw bone. The surface of titanium for this is treated with its oxide using plasma or bombardment.

No special denture care no need, you need only a thorough cleaning of the teeth, which is recommended to all. Be sure to visit the dentist 2 times a year for professional cleaning and examination.
