The functional and emotional effects of tooth loss
The loss of one or more teeth has a particular impact on the quality of life, affecting not only the functionality and the smile asthetics, but also the physical and mental health.
Dental implants change the way we live: designed as a basic structure to replace a missing tooth, which with the final dental crown prosthetic work looks, feels and function like the natural tooth.
After the treatment with dental implants, the patient restores the masticatory function and regains the face harmony and the aesthetic of the smile.
What is a dental implant?
The treatment with dental implant represents the most modern method of replacing the missing teeth or that are in an advanced state of deterioration and cannot be saved.
Maintaining the long term integrity and the fact that it takes the functions and the characteristics of the natural tooth, make the dental implant the most recommended solution by the dentists all over the world.
Worldwide, the success rate of dental implant is over 98%, transforming it in a lifetime treatment solution. (According to the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health)
In our country, 7 out of 10 Romanians have at least one missing tooth and 93% of the patients that have chosen dental implants for their oral rehabilitation and satisfied with their choice (accordingly to a market study led by DENT ESTET and the 360insights research agency).
"Ceramic dental implants, latest premium solutions in dental implantology, represent the ideal fusion between aesthetics and biocompatibility, with natural adaptation to the biological material of the patient!"
The benefits of dental implant
Improves dental and general health
- Dental implants prevent bone resorbtion. The natural atrophy of the alveolar bone starts when the tooth is lost, and if it's not acted upon immediately, it brings complications that can led to the loss of the neighboring teeth. Statistically, the bone volume decreases by 50% in the first three years from the dental extraction, which make the following interventions more complex.
- Dental implants look and work like natural teeth. Once inserted in the bone, these osseointegrate to prevent the loss of bone mass and to maintain the harmony of the face and the health of the soft tissues
- improves the general health of the body. With strong and functional teeth, patients can return to a healthy and normal diet.
It is a reliable solution
- Dental implants osseointegrate in 1-3 months from the intervention, so that they fusion with the bone, preventing the risk of mobilizing.
- With an adequate oral care, dental implants can last for a lifetime, being considered as the smartest investment when talking about replacing missing teeth.
- The success rate of the treatment with dental implants is over 98% - depending on the implant quality and the case complexity.
Restores the confidence of the smile
-
The complete dental work consisting of the implant and the final prosthesis has a facelifting effect: it corrects the asymmetries of the face and gives the face a rejuvenated appearance (especially in patients with multiple edentations, with an aged facial appearance).
-
It boosts the self esteem and help maintain an optimum oral health state.
-

The elements of the complete dental implant
The screw / the actual implant: plays the part of the artificial root and is inserted in the bone. This one represents the basis of the tooth and can sustain one or more artificial teeth (crowns). The screw, made of titanium, titanium alloy with zirconia or ceramics, can be used to replace one tooth when supporting one crown, or can be geared in bridges on implant.
The abutment connects the screw (implant) with the artificial tooth (dental crown). the abutments are specific to each type of implant and it is extremely important for these to be original and not from other producer, other than the company of the used implants. Poor adaptation, even at a microscopic level, can lead, over time, to imflammation of the peri-implant tissues of rupture of the abutment.
The dental crown represents the aesthetic aspect of the artificial tooth. This is made in the dental laboratory, so that it is as close in shape and color with the natural tooth.
Dental implant vs. other treatment options
Since its launch in 1952 and until now, the dental implant has been perfected so that it has become the first choice of specialists for the replacement of missing teeth.
In addition to the dental implant, there are also temporary treatment solutions, less expensive, but with undesirable implications on the long-term dental health:
- Dental bridge is the traditional solution that involves replacing the missing tooth with a dental work that is supported on neighboring teeth. The prosthetic work consisting of the 3 crowns involves the grinding of the 2 healthy teeth on which it is fixed.
- Mobilizable denture is a mobile prosthetic work that rests on the gums to replace missing teeth. This can be done for the entire arch or partially for a few teeth.
This accentuates bone resorption, and then an operation with dental implants becomes a complex case.

When is dental implant recommended
If you have lost at least one tooth or if you have a tooth that cannot be saved by using any conservative treatment, the first recommendation of the dentist will be dental implant.
It is very important for you to take the decision on time to prevent bone loss, teeth migration and other negative effects that can influence your oral health, facial look and the quality of life.
Full mouth dental implants
Patients that need to replace a dental arch or both arches with a new set of teeth can opt for fixed prosthesis systems, with temporary dental work within 24 hours.
Multiple dental implant
In many cases, the patient is missing more teeth, or he can lose them due to the extended degree of deterioration, but the gums and the soft tissues remain healthy. In order to maintain the integrity of the neighboring teeth, the implantology dentist will choose a multiple dental implant solution.
Single dental implant
In case of tooth loss due to an advanced decay, an accident or periodontal disease, that tooth can be replaced with dental implant that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
„With a modern design, the Bredent implant has an excellent primary stability, fact that make it suitable both for the cases in which we replace one tooth, but also for complex and complete dental arch oral rehabilitation. It is a reliable solution for immediate restauration and implantation, so that the masticatory function can be regained in only one day. ”

Planning and the specialized consultation
The first step to find out if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants is the medical consultation. Based on the oral examination performed by the doctor in the dental office, the digital radiology investigations (CBCT computed tomography) the coordinating dentist will create the personalized treatment plan that includes the stages of the treatment and the prioritized treatments.
For complete accuracy and precision during the insertion of the dental implants, a 3D digital simulation will be created based on the CBCT images. Using these results, the doctor will establish the intervention flow. chirurgicală.
Before the intervention, for the safety of the patient, the doctor will require a standard set of investigations. In the particular case that the investigations are not compliant, the doctor has the responsibility to inform the patient and reschedule the intervention.
Cavities, root canal infections and Cariile, infecțiile de canal sau periodontitis are treated before the insertion of the dental implant.
Before the intervention, it is mandatory that the patient to make the routine prophylaxis session, so that the teeth and the soft tissues to be cleaned in a professional manner and the bacteria removed.
Anesthesia and the patient preparation
Before the patient enters into the dental office to be prepared for the intervention, he will sign the surgery consent (with all the details of the procedure) and the pre-anesthesia questionnaire so that he is correctly informed on the procedure he will take.
In order to offer the patient with a more comfortable setting, we will perform a digital anesthesia with patented technology to control the flow rate and pressure of the anesthesia during the injection. Three speeds are tailored for each injection type to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness. Furthermore, the implantology doctor will be assisted by the anesthesiologist during the intervention.
In case of complex intervention (sinus lifting, bone addition) it is advised to use the PRGF kit, to create membrane from the patient's blood in the dental office for a faster healing process.
Implant insertion and the final prosthesis
In the day of the intervention:
- In the possible cases, the patient benefits of temporary prosthesis in the same session with the implant insertion.
- Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Bredent dental implants allow the insertion of the implant immediately after the extraction, decision that can be made only by the implantology doctor, at the extraction time.
- The case of edentulous patients that receive implant systems like All-on-4, Straumann Pro Arch and Fast & Fixed by Bredent the temporary prosthetic work is made in 24 hours.
- After the intervention, the patient will receive the medication scheme from the implantology doctor and will perform an OPG (digital panoramic radiography) and CBCT (computed tomography).
7-10 days from the intervention:
After the dental implant has been successfully inserted into the bone, based on the digital surgical guide made by the implantology doctor, 7-14 days apart from the intervention the sutures are removed - depending on the case complexity.
The final prosthesis takes the specific time depending on the implant type and the complexity of the case:
- Implants with fast osseointegration like Nobel Active and Straumann SLA ACtive receive the final prosthetic work two months after the intervention.
- For the complex cases, with laborious interventions with bone addition and sinus lifting, the final prosthesis is performed after 6-9 months from the intervention.
- For the implant systems such as Nobel All-on-4, Straumann Pro Arch and Fast & Fixed by Bredent the final prosthesis is made after 4-6 months from the intervention.
After the final prosthesis, DENT ESTET is offering to the patient a Quality Assumption Certificate that includes controls and periodic prophylaxis sessions, certifies the quality of the medical act and also offers extended guarantee for the performed treatment.
During this period of time, keeping a good oral hygiene at home, following the recommended periodic dental visits and the prophylaxis sessions is mandatory.
Recovery and recommendations after the dental implant intervention
For the majority of patients with simple interventions the postoperatory discomfort is minimum. These patients have to strictly follow the doctor's recommendations to prevent further complications.
In the case of more complex interventions, patients can feel a local discomfort, swollen gums, bruising, edema and minor bleedings.
The doctor will recommend medication to ease the pain and to calm down the local inflammation and even antibiotic treatment.
To avoid further complications, the patient has to follow the specific recommendations of the doctor:
- After the intervention the patient has to keep a cold compress on the cheek to reduce inflammation.
- The patient respects the medication recommended by the doctor.
- Don't touch with the tongue the area of the intervention to avoid the swelling.The sensitivity will slowly decrease during the recovery period.
- Brushing can be done at doctor's indications from the first day after the intervention in order to avoid the bacterial plaque accumulation, but it is advised to use a soft bristle brush and in no case the electric brush.
- Avoid hot food and beverages until the effect of the anesthesia dissapears and avoid coffee or alcohol consumption in the firts seven days after the intervention, due to the risk of bleeding
- I's not recommended to eat fluory foods because they get sticked on the gums and can lead to inflammation. Instead, soft foods can be eaten until the sutures are removed.
- Avoid smoking, it can lead to serious complications and to treatment failure.
- Regulary visits to the dentist are mandatory, as accordingly to the coordinating doctor's recommendations

“The All-on-4 technology comes as a solution to a great challenge, to oral rehabilitate the edentulous patients, especially those without bone and teeth. So that, after several years of research we discovered that if we insert only 4 implants with a specific angulation and in a certain position, we can create a fixed prosthesis with a high success rate, in many cases of 100%. The success is huge only by taking into consideration the feeling of telling to a patient that has been offered the alternative of a mobile prosthesis, that you can offer him fixed teeth in a day without bone addition and with a success rate higher that in the case of grafting. Furthermore, this new technique that doesn't imply bone addition has lower costs, almost half of the total cost of a complete standard procedure (that includes bone addition) and represents a kind of miracle for the patients."
