Implantology - what is it?
Implantology is a strong speciality of the Awodent Dental Clinic. Even the lack of a single tooth causes negative changes to the occlusion and takes away self-confidence and a beautiful smile. Filling empty spaces is very important to ensure the health of neighbouring teeth, which, thanks to implants, will not wobble or move. Filling missing teeth with implants definitely increases self-confidence, restores the freedom to speak and eat and significantly improves the quality of life.At the Awodent clinic, both single tooth restorations and more complex procedures requiring bone regeneration are carried out.

"It is worth realising that missing even a single tooth is a serious problem of both an aesthetic and health nature. Dental implants are the most modern and perfect method of replacing teeth. Implants are durable and provide excellent functional and esthetical results. It is always a great satisfaction for me when my patients get their beautiful smile and self-confidence back with the teeth restored thanks to implants."

FAQ - frequently asked questions about implantology
A dental implant consists of 3 elements: a titanium screw placed inside the bone, a titanium or ceramic abutment and a prosthetic crown. Titanium is a very strong and resistant material which does not cause allergic reactions and is accepted by the human body, meaning there is no fear of rejection.
After a local anaesthetic is applied, the doctor makes an incision in the gum, gently pulls it apart and drills a hole into which the implant will be inserted. Once the implant is inserted, stitches are placed on the gum. The procedure is carried out using a special microscope, which enables the doctor to perform the implant insertion very precisely and quickly. The entire process takes approximately 20-30 minutes.
Implant treatment at the Awodent clinic consists of several stages. It begins with a comprehensive radiological diagnosis, which allows assessment of the condition of the bone tissue at the site of the planned implant. If it is deficient, an attempt is made to rebuild the bone tissue so that it is suitable for the implant. If the bone tissue is of sufficient quality, the dentist proceeds to the first stage of implant treatment. The implant placement is carried out completely painlessly under local anaesthesia. The process of the implant becoming overgrown with bone, depending on individual predisposition, usually takes between 3 and 6 months. The next stage of implant treatment is the placement of a connector on the implant, followed by prosthetic restoration. The entire implant treatment from the consultation to the final result usually takes a few months up to six months.
Implant placement is a completely painless procedure. Local anaesthesia is used during the procedure. During the procedure there may be a vibrating or spreading sensation associated with the placement of the implant.
Implant treatment allows you to regain your lost smile and your health. Professional dental implants give excellent aesthetic results - they replace the lost tooth in an ideal way, they are indistinguishable from natural teeth.Implant restoration is a long-lasting solution, improving the appearance and quality of life. Thanks to implants, we no longer need to use classic prosthetics, which significantly lowered the comfort of life. Missing teeth, apart from taking away our beauty, result in problems with biting and chewing food, and this can affect the functioning of the entire organism, including the digestive system. With implants, we can permanently replace missing teeth and enjoy a healthy smile for all the years of our lives.
Statistically around 4%, implants do not fuse with the bone. This is very rare. The reason for this may be a poor bone condition or infection. Usually within a few months the implant completely fuses with the bone and is treated by the body as an integral part of the organism. The titanium from which the implant is made does not cause any allergic reactions.
It is estimated that a titanium implant inserted into the bone is able to replace the root of a tooth for up to approximately 50 years, without having any chemical reactions with food ingredients or oral hygiene products.
