Dental Implants in Albania, Implantology Procedure

A dental implant is a titanium or titanium-alloy screw which is inserted inside the jawbone and serves to hold a dental crown in place. Zirconia implants are approved to be used also. Zirconia is a white ceramic material which has been popular the last five years. 

There are cases that the amount of bone a patient can have, can not support the implant. This happens for some reasons such as gum disease, aging, injury and other causes.Then he will need a bone grafting.In case the implant is going to be placed into the upper jaw, a bone which is around  the sinuses has to be built. In this way the patient has to undergo a sinus lift beforehand. Dental implants are not  recommended for children because their facial bone structure is still developing, but teens can undergo them. 

Dental implants surgeries probability for success seems to be lower when it is about smokers and patients that use drugs, have uncontrolled diabetes and for them who have undergone head or neck radiation.  

Dental Implant  procedure- How does it work?

If you are going to undergo a dental implant, here are some steps that you have to follow:

Dental exam 

Before beginning the process of the dental implant, the dentist has to do a total exam. 3D imaging employing  a CT scan is one of the best  things that was improved since in the earliest dental implants procedures. What really helps the dentist to have better access to the dental health of the patient, especially to monitor the condition of the bone that will support the implant is the fact that he does not need to rely only on 2D X-rays.

The removement of tooth or teeth

This stage consists in removing the tooth or the teeth that have to be replaced, which generally has to be done by undergoing an oral surgeon. However, there are dentists who are specialized in implantology that help them to do the whole process from the beginning until the end.

Bone grafting

After the dentist does the first steps, which is the dental exam, he understands if you have or not the amount of bone required to support the implant. In case you do not have it, you have to undergo the bone grafting process. This process consists in taking the bone somewhere else in your body and adding it where it is needed to be, in order to support the implant. It is also the opportunity for synthetic and natural donor bone alternatives.

Implant insertion

This process consists in drilling into the jawbone and placing the implant in its strategic position by the dentists. This is a procedure that also needs a period of time to heal. What is an implant in itself? It is nothing else but an artificial tooth root. It has to be put deep in the bone, in the same way a natural tooth is.After the process of healing, the bone starts to grow around the new implant. It will be given a removable and temporary denture, in order to cover the gap where the teeth were taken out.

Adding the abutment

This is a process that consists in adding the abutment ( the implant’s part that helps in holding the crown in its place), just when the bone has been growing enough to support stabilization, approximately after two or three months. The gum area is closed around its edges, which now has to be healed. It takes four to six weeks to be healed.

Inserting the crown

This is the last step which consists in placing the crown in its place. The crown has been designed by using digital impressions of the existing teeth and jaw after the placement of the abutment or by making molds, to match the shape, size and the color of your other teeth.

Types of Dental Implants.

There are other options for patients with special issues, for example when he has a very limited amount of the bone that is used to support the implant.
