Symptoms, examination and treatment choices.
When one, several, or all teeth are lost, implant-supported prosthetics may be considered. Crowns, bridges, or certain removable or fixed constructions are attached to implants.
The appropriate solution and its cost depend on the oral condition, bone quality, overall health, and patient needs. Discuss alternatives and their limitations with your doctor.
Key points
If one tooth is missing, an implant with a crown may be considered. In the case of several missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge can be considered; if all jaw teeth are lost, fixed or removable constructions are discussed.
The number and placement of implants depend on bone condition, planned prosthesis, bite, and other factors. The doctor also discusses other options, such as a conventional bridge or removable denture.
First, an examination and necessary tests are performed, health factors are discussed, and a plan is prepared. After placing the implant, the doctor monitors tissue healing and determines the timing of subsequent stages.
In some cases, a temporary restoration may be used. The timing and method of the permanent prosthesis attachment depend on implant stability, healing, and the chosen plan.
If there is insufficient jaw bone for the planned implant, the doctor may consider bone grafting or another treatment plan. The need is determined individually after examination and necessary tests.
Additional treatment can change the number of stages, duration, and cost. Ask whether procedures will be performed in one or separate stages and what their limitations are.
The estimate may include consultations, examinations, implants, surgical procedures, abutments, temporary and final prostheses, and care. The price depends on the type of construction, the number of implants, and the need for additional treatment.
Request a detailed individual estimate. For some insured patients, prosthetic treatment may be reimbursed according to the valid PSDF (Compulsory Health Insurance Fund) regulations; verify eligibility, scope of services, and co-payment with the institution or health insurance fund.
Clean teeth, the prosthesis, and areas around the implants daily using products recommended by your doctor or dental hygienist. The frequency of regular check-ups and professional care is determined individually.
Contact your dentist if you notice bleeding, increasing swelling, pain, or looseness of the construction. If the cause is assessed in time, further treatment options can be discussed.
Treatment may last several months or longer. The duration depends on healing, bone condition, additional procedures, and the chosen construction; discuss your personal schedule with your doctor.
No. The necessity depends on the existing bone and planned implant site. The doctor will assess possibilities based on individual examinations.
For some insured patients, prosthetic services may be reimbursed according to valid regulations. For eligibility, specific treatment plans, reimbursed portion, and co-payment, inquire at the institution or health insurance fund.
The method and instruments for cleaning the construction and areas around the implants are chosen by the dentist or dental hygienist. Also, follow your individual examination schedule.
