A dental implant is one of the best and most modern methods for addressing tooth loss, both aesthetically and functionally.
Modern implant procedures offer all of this with sufficient safety and durability, so when implanted to the right quality, they not only look like natural teeth, but you can also chew and bite with them in the same way – practically without compromise.
However, quality should be emphasised, as only a few dental practices in Hungary still offer professional implantological procedures.
NaturaDent naturally belongs here, as our team's vast expertise, highly qualified implantologists, outstanding quality implants, and patient-centric approach ensure that tooth replacement truly lasts a lifetime.
Titanium, ceramic, or a combination of both.
As our dental practice places great importance on ensuring each patient receives the implant best suited to them, we strive for the highest quality right from the selection of raw materials.
We exclusively work with premium quality solutions, which is why we use the world's first acquired Clean implant foundation. BTI implants, so the implants we insert are made of pure titanium and are provided with appropriate surface treatment in order to connect perfectly with the bone structure.
This is essential to achieve a strong, practical, and aesthetically flawless result.
Regarding prosthetics and crowns, the range is already wider. In the former case, zirconium and titanium, and in the latter case, metal-ceramic, pressed ceramic, and zirconium-ceramic crowns can be placed on the implanted implant.
In making these choices, we always provide patients with comprehensive information about the benefits and drawbacks, and we make the final decision together.
The procedure for dental implant placement
Health check
As implants fitted by NaturaDent can serve patients for 50-60 years, we pay great attention to adequate preparations. The first step of this will be a state assessment, which is accompanied by a consultation and the taking of diagnostic images.
It is important to explore the intended environment of the implant and the patient's anatomical features, as it may be that the jawbone is thin – this is common in cases of long-term tooth loss – so bone grafting must precede implantation.
Design
If the condition assessment results indicate that the implant can be placed, the next step in the process is planning.
NaturaDent works in this area with three-dimensional spatial computerised x-rays (3D CBCT), which provide a precise background for elaborating even the most fundamental details.
If the jawbone is sufficiently strong and bone grafting is not required, a 3D scan of the patient's teeth is taken, which allows for the precise placement of the dental implant in the bone.
For this, our dental practice uses the most modern Smart Guide technology. With its help, implants can be placed with 100 percent accuracy, and the margin for error can be reduced to a minimum.
Implantation
Precise planning is followed by implant placement. At the NaturaDent clinic, this is considered a routine, painless minor surgery performed under local anaesthetic.
The first step will be to open the gum. This will be followed by the placement of the Smart Template, which helps to create the precise location of the screw in the jawbone, the so-called bone bed, into which the implant, temporarily sealed with a closure screw until the end of the healing period, can be precisely inserted.
The final step of the implantation is to stitch the open gum tissue together for rapid and aesthetic healing.
Placement of superstructure
After the designated healing period has passed, a check-up examination is necessary to verify if the implant has fused correctly with the bone, meaning it can withstand further loading. If so, before the fabrication of the tooth crown, the abutment follows, which ensures the connection between the implant and the future crown.
This is an important element as it can reduce the chances of inflammation around the implant, making not only placement easier but also increasing the durability of the final result. After the abutment is placed, some healing time is again required, along with a small healing cap, which will give the gum around the dental crown a beautifully pleasing shape.
Crown design
If the implant has healed and properly osseointegrated, meaning it can function as a fully integrated artificial root, then the crown can be created, which in the case of multiple implants can be a bridge or even a removable denture.
The type of crown that will be placed on the implant is always decided by the patient, but of course, we also help with this, because the cheapest solution is not always the right one, nor is the most expensive.
To create the crown, a 3D scanner provides the digital impression, allowing for a final result that perfectly matches the other teeth in every respect. The final step of the dental restoration is the proper fixation of the completed crown. In our practice, we use the screw-retained solution instead of cemented crowns, which is a much better option.
Implant aftercare
Despite precise preparation and planning, it's possible that an implant dental restoration may sometimes require post-insertion adjustment. Minor fine-tuning is, of course, possible, as the aim is for the patient to feel that the restoration is a fully functional tooth.
Although our experienced colleagues will inform patients about all aspects of implant aftercare, it should be noted that it is recommended to have the implant checked at least every 6 months, even if there are no complaints.
This is important not only because of the condition of the dental prostheses but also concerning fundamental aspects such as maintaining adequate oral hygiene, as periodontal disease can dislodge an implant just as it can natural teeth.
The patient's most important task during aftercare is therefore to clean the crown attached to the implant and its surroundings just as they would clean a natural tooth.
Why NaturaDent?
In our practice, every patient can receive Western-standard care, which is underpinned not only by our approach but also by our knowledge, the tools we use, and our high-quality implants.
We exclusively work with premium quality implants such as BTI (a strictly controlled, purest implant) or MDI Mini Implant, while from the very beginning of the planning stage, we utilise several solutions that are still only used by a few in this country, such as the Smart Guide digitally designed, pinpoint accurate template technology.
The strength of NaturaDent also lies in the institution's chief implantologist Dr Márta Fülöp Papp MSc MSc MSc., who studied in Germany and currently continues to publish and conduct several research projects on the topic.
The institution's excellences also include Dr Amirhossein Golkhorshidi MSc. As a dentist with a master's degree in implantology, he has enormous experience and practice and awaits patients. At NaturaDent, a whole team of experts is at your disposal. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
