Implantology or implant prosthetics is a branch of dental medicine that deals with the replacement of missing teeth with the installation of a dental implant. Dental implants are titanium replacements that are surgically installed into the bone tissue of the upper or lower jaw, and serve as a replacement of the natural root, and carry the future prosthetic replacement.
The installation process is completely painless and is conducted under local anaesthesia. After installation of the implant, an oseointegration period of three to four months is necessary before continuing with installation of the prosthetic and completion of the therapy. Upon completion of the therapy, the patient, depending on the indications, can receive a fixed prosthetic replacement, or a mobile prosthetic that is attached to the installed implant. The contemporary materials that can be used to create the fixed replacement are metal-ceramic, zirconium-ceramic and press-ceramic. Metal-ceramic is the most common choice and ensures very good aesthetic properties, while the zirconium-ceramic and press-ceramic options give exceptional results due to the fact that they are not metal based.
It is important to stress that implants ensure the most optimal transfer of chewing forces to the surrounding bone, thereby significantly reducing atrophy and the loss of surrounding bone at the site of the tooth removal. Installation of a dental implant is one of the safest therapeutic procedures in dental medicine, with a success rate between 95 and 98%.
GalleryOrthodontics is a branch of dental medicine that deals with correcting the position of teeth, and correcting the fit of the upper and lower jaws. This correction is done using an orthodontic apparatus that can be either fixed or mobile, depending on the indication.
The most effective manner of correcting orthodontic anomalies is the fixed orthodontic therapy, with the installation of orthodontic braces on the teeth and installation of a bar that guides the teeth into the proper position.
There are many positive aspects of orthodontic therapy, and today these are seen more as a necessity than a luxury, include creating the proper position of teeth, which reflects both on the aesthetics of the smile and the face, and improving functionality by ensuring a proper and even bite, which is the prerequisite for the health of the underlying support of teeth and the entire chewing system. There are no age limits for orthodontic therapy.
GalleryAesthetics in dental medicine is very closely associated with development technology, and today’s microinvasive therapeutic methods can achieve exceptional aesthetic results. These include an interdisciplinary approach to therapy activities with the close cooperation of dentists of various specialisations and dental technicians. The individual approach taken to each patient ensures both a beautiful and healthy smile.
Patients today are often dissatisfied with the aesthetic appearance of their teeth, due to tooth discolouration, cavity lesions, inadequate shape or position of the teeth. In such cases, various therapeutic approaches are possible in order to achieve the optimal aesthetic effect.
