In the case of missing one, many or even all the teeth, or as an alternative to bridges, dental implants are the newest and most modern solution. Its advantage consists of not having to prepare and thus irrevocably alter healthy teeth to be pillars for bridges, but an implant inserted into the bone – replacing the missing tooth’s root – can hold crowns and bridges itself. In the case of full edentulousness, implants can either restore enough teeth in order to be pillars for a fixed bridge, or can act as anchors for a removable partial denture, in this case not allowing it to slide freely on the gingiva, like a traditional dentures do. This procedure requires adequate quantity and quality of bone of the jaws, and also satisfactory general health of the patient. The implant consists of a screw made of titanium, which is inserted into the jaw bone, after which it must remain in the bone for 3-6 months (depending on the quality of the bone). Only after the complete ossification can we fit a crown on top of this artificial root. During this time, if neccessary, a provisional bridge will be fabricated for aesthetic reasons. If the ossification is successfull (about 98% success rate), after taking special imprints of the implant, the crown will be manufactured, which afterwards can be used like a natural tooth. Our Bego Semados implant system (made in Germany) is among the best, with extremely accurate implant-abutment fit and great resistance to the forces of mastication.
