DENTAL IMPLANTS

At EO Dent, dental implant placement is performed by experienced implantologists using 3D technologies and minimally invasive methods that improve precision and patient comfort.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium or zirconia screws that replace the root of a missing tooth and serve as a stable foundation for a permanent prosthetic restoration. The implant is placed into the jawbone and, through a process called osseointegration, integrates securely with it. This restores the natural function of the tooth without damaging the neighboring teeth.

Implants can be used to replace one or several missing teeth, as well as in cases of complete tooth loss, including methods such as All-on-4 or All-on-6, where an entire jaw is restored using several strategically placed implants.

How does dental implant placement work?

Dental implant treatment usually includes four main stages: diagnostics and planning, surgical implant placement, a healing period, and placement of the final crown or prosthetic restoration.

Diagnostics and Planning

3D CBCT scan for precise bone analysis;
intraoral scanner for a digital impression;
software-based planning of the implant position;
assessment of whether the available bone is sufficient for stable implant placement.

Surgical Placement

The implant is placed under local or intravenous anesthesia. The procedure is performed carefully and with a minimally invasive approach, while the implant position is planned in advance with high precision. When necessary and depending on the clinical case, surgical guides may be used for additional accuracy.

Healing Period

Healing usually takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on the individual bone structure. In some cases, a temporary restoration may be placed to provide comfort and aesthetics during the integration period.

Placement of the Crown or Prosthetic Restoration

After successful implant integration, the final prosthetic phase begins. Depending on the case, an individually made crown, bridge, or full restoration is placed. The restoration is digitally designed using CAD/CAM technologies, while the material is selected according to the clinical situation and aesthetic requirements.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer at EO Dent

Titanium Implants

The most widely used and clinically proven implants. They are known for their high biocompatibility and long-term stability.

Zirconia Implants

Implants made of high-quality zirconia — a biocompatible material with excellent aesthetics, suitable for patients with metal sensitivity or high aesthetic requirements.

Fast-Integrating Implants

Implants with a special surface designed to support faster bonding with the bone and a shorter period before prosthetic restoration, when clinically appropriate.

Micro Implants

These are smaller implants used in situations with limited bone volume or in specific orthodontic and prosthetic cases. They provide additional support when a standard implant cannot be placed.

Who are dental implants suitable for?

Dental implants are a recommended solution in the following cases:

missing one or more teeth;
intolerance to removable dentures;
desire for a fixed and stable solution;
prevention of bone atrophy;
restoration after trauma, fracture, disease, or infection.

The final decision on whether implants are suitable for a specific case is made after a clinical examination and 3D diagnostics, taking into account the patient’s overall health and the condition of the tissues.

What are the benefits?

They look and feel like natural teeth;
they improve the appearance of the smile;
they restore normal chewing function;
they help preserve the bone and prevent bone loss;
there is no need to grind down neighboring teeth;
they increase confidence and quality of life;
they are easy to maintain with daily oral hygiene.

What are the prices of dental implants?

The price depends on the type and number of implants, the need for additional procedures such as sinus lift or bone augmentation, and the type of final restoration.

The price is determined after an examination, diagnostics, and an individual treatment plan. Each case is different and most often depends on:

the number of implants;
the selected implant system, such as titanium or zirconia;
the need for bone regeneration;
the type of crown or prosthetic restoration;
the complexity of the clinical case.

Recovery after dental implant placement

Recovery takes place gradually over several weeks, while final integration takes several months. In the first few days, mild sensitivity in the treated area may occur and usually decreases over time. Soft and liquid foods are recommended, as well as temporary restriction of smoking.

The patient receives detailed instructions on how to care for the implant area, while regular follow-up visits help ensure that the healing process is progressing properly until full integration of the implant with the bone.

Dental implants are one of the most reliable solutions for restoring missing teeth and rebuilding oral function in modern dentistry. They are used to replace the root of a missing tooth and create a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or full prosthetic restoration.

The implant is placed into the jawbone, where it gradually integrates with the surrounding bone through a natural healing process called osseointegration. This period usually takes several months, depending on the patient’s bone condition, general health, and individual treatment plan.

After successful healing, the implant is uncovered and the appropriate connecting component, called an abutment, is placed. The final stage is the attachment of the definitive dental restoration, which is carefully designed to match the patient’s bite, function, and natural aesthetics.
