Dental Implants Abroad
Budapest dentistry at our wolrd famous Dental Implant clinic.
Why is titanium used in the jawbone?
Titanium is an extremely biologically friendly material, i.e. gum and bone bond well to this. Once placed in the jaw bone it becomes a permanent replacement for the missing tooth's root structure. Titanium dental implants have been used successfully for over 40 years with extremely high success rates. Implants made from other materials (e.g. zirconia), are available, however, their long-term success rates are unknown, hence we prefer to use 'tried and tested' titanium.
What if there is not enough bone?
Successful implant placement does require a certain amount of bone in which to locate the fixture. In the absence of sufficient bone, augmentation or grafting procedures are usually possible. In very rare cases a lack of bone can make implant placement impossible.
What are my other options to replace my tooth/teeth?
Missing teeth can also be replaced with dental bridges or full or partial dentures.
Does the implant surgery hurt?
Local anesthesia ensures that the implant placement procedure is pain-free. Post-operative discomfort is usually minor and can be settled with oral painkillers.
Can I have sedation?
Yes. We offer IV sedation for anxious clients.
Will there be any swelling after the implant procedure?
Most patients experience little or no swelling. Any swelling that does occur usually goes away one or two days after the procedure.
How do I care for my implants?
Your new teeth must be cared for and examined regularly, just like your own natural teeth. We recommend brushing and flossing as directed and regular visits to our hygienist for checks.
How long will dental implants last?
Long-term studies document a success rate of dental implants of over 98%. At Implant Solutions our documented long-term success rate is over 99%. Success rates of treatment are lower in smokers, patients with medical complications, and patients who do not care for their implants as advised.
Dental implants are not a suitable tooth replacement option in patients under the age of 18 years, some medically compromised patients, and patients with insufficient space or bone to enable placement.
