Dental Implants treatment

What are dental Implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or even a full denture. Dental implants are made of pure titanium, a material that is totally bio compatible (compatible with body tissues) and actually integrates with the surrounding bone and becomes part of the body. Dental implants are an effective, safe and predictable solution to the problems resulting from missing teeth.

Why choose Kreativ Dental?

Dental Implant Treatment is a particular area of experience at the Kreativ Dental Clinic. Our dental specialists have completed thousands of implant treatments successfully. Our state of the art dental clinic in Budapest has everything we could possibly need on-site to provide implants in a safe and professional environment. We are one of few dental clinics to have a dental CT scanner. This enables us to avoid damage to important nerves in the jaws and to the sinuses. The CT scanner allows us to diagnose with accuracy if your bone is suitable for implants, instead of having to undergo a painful investigation under an anesthetic. Such equipment doesn't come cheap but as we place so many implants we keep the cost to the patient much lower than would be expected.

Why should teeth be replaced?

Apart from being able to smile, eat, and speak better; dental implants prevent the onset of poor facial profile due to loss of bone mass in your jaw bone. Dental Implants prevent bone loss by transmitting load forces during the chewing process down into the jawbone. The jawbone reacts to this loading by increasing the bone density. Dental Implants are well known in their ability to stop bone loss and restore facial skeletal structure while significantly improving nutrition.

There are many unfavorable consequences from loss of teeth without replacement:

Drifting of adjacent teeth: when there is a missing gap, opposing teeth may over-erupt adjacent teeth drift into the empty spaces resulting in food trapping and possible decay
Difficulty of chewing : missing teeth causes issues in chewing that could possibly result in indigestion
Poor appearance & bone loss: loss of youthful and facial structure appearance due to bone resorption
Loss of lip support
Poor speech : difficulty in speaking specially if front teeth is missing

Am I a candidate for dental Implants?

Dental implants are the best option for people of all ages in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to an accident, gum disease, an injury, or some other reason. It is important that you have enough dental bone to support the implant. There are some health conditions that warrant special consideration. Certain chronic diseases, heavy smoking, or alcohol abuse may contraindicate implant treatment. After careful evaluation of your health history, our dentists will alert you to any conditions that may effect your treatment. Remember, age is not a factor.

Do I have enough bone?

It is important for a patient to have enough bone to support an implant. If you do not have enough bone, there are many safe and effective ways to correct bone deficiency. Our implantologist will assess you and advise you if additional bone material is needed. It may be necessary for him to perform an artificial bone replacement or sinus lift before the implant can be placed.

What are some of the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. Perhaps you hide your smile because you are embarrassed by your missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, implants could be the answer. Dental implants are especially practical for patients who can no longer wear removable dentures.
