Dental Implants
From no teeth to new Teeth in 3 days
Each implant is fixated in at least two locations in cortical bone. This type of bone provides a high level of mineralization and stability and low metabolism. It can be immediately loaded and practically does not resorb throughout a patient’s lifetime. Bone augmentation, sinus lift, bone transplants and waiting periods become unnecessary. With the help of the immediate loading (basal) Implant we are able to successfully supply treatment even in cases of severe bone atrophy. The patient receives a beautiful smile within just a few days.
Patients requesting implants can be treated practically without exception – regardless of the extent of bone loss or whether residual teeth are present and require extraction. Only one single surgical intervention is necessary. immediate loading(basal) Implants are splinted with (permanent or semi-permanent) bridges very soon after the implant placement. If desired, another bridge (for instance of a different material) may be placed after 6-9 months. In many cases however the first bridge will be the final one.
The low number of surgeries and other treatment steps reduces overall cost. Rapid and effective measures can be taken by our qualified specialists should complications occur.
Implants with slim design interfere with the host bone’s blood supply much less than comparable conventional implants.
The polished implants are virtually free from peri-implantitis, a dangerous infection found only around conventional implants. Peri-implantitis leads to serious problems and severe bone loss. The infection is not found around immediate loading(basal) Implants.
Because immediate loading(basal) Implants can be immediately loaded, patients can quickly return to their normal life.
Inspection of the oral cavity and x-ray examination are done by the treatment provider. Subsequently the treatment can begin. As a rule this occurs immediately since the precautions and additional steps necessary in conventional implants (pre-operative improvement of oral hygiene, periodontal pre-treatment, etc) are not applicable for the immediate loading(basal) Implant , if the affected teeth are simply extracted.
On the day of surgery the affected teeth are extracted and the implants placed straight away. The prosthetic treatment begins right after the implants are inserted. After three days at the latest the first fixed bridge is fixed and the new teeth can be used for eating, smiling, speaking!
Indications And Contra-Indications
Indications for immediate loading(basal) implants
- Partly or completely missing teeth, or when fixed bridges are desired
- when the procedure of 2-stage implant placement or bone augmentation has failed
- slight bone loss up to severe bone atrophy
- Treatment of smokers is possible with the same chance of success
- Diabetes and other serious diseases that delay the healing process.
Contraindications
- prolonged oral or i.v. use of Biphosphonates
- cases where bilateral equal mastication cannot be arranged, e.g. when chewing muscles or their innervation are partly missing. However, these cases might still be treatable by experienced professionals
