DENTAL IMPLANTS
DOES IT HURT?
Although it might sound frightening the actual procedure does not hurt. It is an absolute pain free procedure executed under local anaesthesia.
For extremely nervous patients the treatment can be executed under conscious sedation if necessary.
HOW IS IT DONE?
HOW CAN THEY BE USED?
IS MY BONE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE AN IMPLANT?
The jaw bone is important when we talk about dental implants as it represents the supporting structure of the dental implant.
Dental implants come in various sizes, although a minimal amount of bone is necessary to allow for a dental implant to be placed.
In the cases of insufficient bone volume, bone grafting procedures are available, to enhance the bone volume and to allow for implant placement.
There are a variety of products that can be used for bone enhancement as:
- The patient’s own bone harvested from another area of the mouth
- Artificial bone substitute
- Platelet rich factors (PRF) which use the patient’s blood to create a stable blood clot enriched with growth factors that are meant to regenerate the bone.
- Bone of animal (porcine/bovine) origin, that goes through a very rigorous sterilising procedure and serves as a matrix or scaffold to induce natural human bone growth.
