Two-stage dental implantation

Implantation – is a unique way to restore a lost tooth. It involves implanting an artificial root made of titanium alloys into the jaw. A ceramic or zirconium crown is installed on top, visually identical to the native teeth.

With two-stage implantation, which is considered classic, tooth extraction, implant placement, and crown fixation are carried out in several stages. As a rule, the entire process lasts up to 6 months.

"Oxford Medical" – is a network of modern high-tech dentistry operating in the central areas of the city. All clinics are equipped with new premium equipment, which, combined with the involvement of experienced, highly qualified doctors, allows for the use of innovative methods of treatment, implantation and bite correction.

You can learn more about implantation and receive individual recommendations by signing up for a preliminary consultation with a dentist.

When replacing a lost tooth, implantation provides the highest quality result from both a functional and aesthetic point of view. A crown on an artificial root is visually almost indistinguishable from native teeth, and in terms of strength it even wins.

Implantation allows you to replace a lost tooth without grinding neighboring teeth or installing a removable prosthesis. Today, this is the most comfortable way to solve the problem. High-quality implants withstand heavy loads and last for more than 10-20 years.

The features of two-stage implantation are that:

• first, the tooth is extracted;

• then a break of 3-6 months is taken for tissue healing;

• after that, a titanium root is implanted and, at the patient's request, a temporary crown is placed;

• then, after the implant has successfully taken root, a permanent crown is installed.

Thus, classic implantation requires at least 3-4 visits to the doctor with breaks of several weeks and months. These gaps are necessary for complete healing of bone and soft tissues after each procedure, which guarantees successful engraftment of the artificial root and its long-term operation.

Sometimes a faster alternative to a two-stage implantation is an instant, or one-stage. It allows you to save time and perform all the necessary procedures in just 1 visit to the dentist.

If with classic implantation the patient can get a ready result only after six months, then with one-stage – on the same day.

One-stage implantation involves performing in one session:

• tooth extraction;

• implant placement;

• temporary crown placement.

As a result, a patient may come to the clinic with a damaged tooth that requires extraction, and leave a few hours later with a “new” one.

Considering this, instant implantation seems to be a better option than a two-stage one. But it has not only advantages, but also some disadvantages. In particular, it is not suitable for patients who have lost a tooth a long time ago, have caries or gum inflammation. In this case, dental treatment is performed first, followed by a classic two-stage implantation.

The dentist can determine which type of implantation is best for the patient only after an examination and diagnosis (dental X-ray, CT scan or orthopantomogram).

In the case of complete edentia, the doctor may also consider prosthetics using the All-on-6 method, which has its own indications and characteristics.
