Dental Clinic Dr. Alexander Valev is a leading institution in the diagnosis, planning and treatment of dental implants in Sofia. Clinical experience and the results of numerous scientific studies show that dental implants are the best solution when a tooth is needed. The use of dental implants is an ideal opportunity to restore function and aesthetics.
What are dental implants?
The dental implant is a high-quality artificial tooth with a screw at the bottom that is implanted in place of the missing tooth in a way that guarantees health and stability over time.
- The most modern way to restore one, several or all teeth
- A long-term investment in your health, beauty and self-esteem.
It is important to know that:
- There are no universal solutions and every patient needs an individual approach and solution.
- Implant placement is not painful and requires time and attention to make the effect lasting.
- Dental implants help restore nutrition, speech and aesthetics without cutting out healthy teeth.
- Treatment begins after a thorough analysis and evaluation of the dental status, anatomical features and general condition against which a treatment and financial plan is prepared.
Treatment
Dental implant treatment begins with an examination, medical history, evaluation of indications and contraindications for the particular case. Then, the case is planned, computerized tomography is called - a three-dimensional X-ray examination, which allows to measure real distances to adjacent teeth and important anatomical structures, such as the mandibular nerve, maxillary sinus, nasal cavity and others.
The study allows the selection of an implant of optimal length and width. Thus, the treatment is as safe and predictable as possible. In cases of bone and soft tissue deficiency, the three-dimensional image of the study area helps us to choose the most appropriate techniques for their repair - bone augmentation, soft tissue augmentation, or a combination of both.
Control of the implant placement is done with X-rays during the preparation of the bone and in each procedure accompanying the treatment - imprint, placement of the superstructure and cementation of the crown.
Is the placement of implants painful?
During the implantation, a local anesthetic is applied - as with tooth extraction or filling. The time required for implant placement is 30 - 40 minutes. The procedure is absolutely painless. A combination with intravenous anesthesia - sedation (with longer procedures with more implants and tooth extraction) is also possible.
Which is the best implant?
All implants available (over 2000 brands) bind well to the bone and provide reliable treatment. There are no statistics to indicate a particular brand as the best. Many clinics offer single brand implants. When asked "why this particular implant?" they answer "I know which one is the best implant for you." Thus, patients can obtain a low-, mid- or high-cost implant.
The same implant can be offered at different prices according to the fee that a doctor has set - so you can pay more for a lower-cost implant treatment than for a more expensive implant.
In our clinic we offer several brands of low, medium and high price implants because we respect the patients' right to choose. Our fee is the same for all implants we offer, the guarantee also. According to the particularities of the different clinical cases, we can recommend to the patient the most suitable implant system with the optimal price.
Is there a risk of the implant being rejected?
Implant treatment is one of the most reliable with 97 - 98% success rate. All implants placed in our clinic come with a 2 year warranty.
When is it best to place an implant?
Implant placement immediately after tooth extraction (immediate) is the best option. In this type of implantation, most of the bone and gum around the extracted tooth is preserved. The treatment is performed with a single surgical procedure and a single anesthetic. Injury for the patient is minimal and the completion times are shortened. The success rate is the same as delayed implantation.
Immediate implantation is not possible in cases of insufficient bone around the extracted tooth, anatomical features, inflammation in the area, trauma and others.
More than half of the implants placed in our clinic are immediate. Therefore, it is a good idea to consult with us before your tooth is removed.
How much do implants cost?
The cost of implant treatment includes the doctor's fee, the cost of the implant (implant, superstructure, and screw to connect them) and the dental technician's fee for making the crown. In additional procedures, such as tooth extraction, implantation of artificial bone, increase in volume of bone and / or gum, placement of a temporary crown and others - the price increases.
Try to get the ultimate price for the entire treatment, as well as the implant brand and the type of crown. Many clinics announce low implant costs and high prices for upgrades, prints, crowns, etc.
Our cases
Placing of three implants with tooth extraction
Panoramic imaging and computed tomography were assigned to treat a patient in need of restoration of the lower teeth on the right. The fourth tooth was extracted and three implants were placed in the same visit.
After four months, the implants are uncovered - healing screws are placed around which the gum is formed in a suitable form for imprinting and crown placement.
Implants are uncovered after four months - healing screws are placed around which the gum is formed in a suitable form for imprinting and crown placement. Implant system - Neo Biotech
Restoration of the upper premolar
The formation of the gum around the implant takes at least two weeks.
The crown is fixed to the implant with a screw that tightens with a specific force. For this purpose a dynamo metric key is used. Implant System - Neo Biotech
Placing four implants in the mandible
Three of the implants are placed immediately after the extraction of the teeth, and the fourth is in place of a long extracted tooth. This way the patient goes through only one surgical procedure and the maximum amount of bone and gum around the implants is preserved. Implant system -Alpha Bio Tec
Implant placement with gum volume increase
Tooth extraction is usually associated with bone and gum loss.
Depending on the amount of tissue lost, different techniques are used to repair them.
In this case, the crown is glued to the factory superstructure with cement outside the mouth. It is then fixed to the implant with a screw. This eliminates the possibility of cement falling between the implant and the gum. Implant system -Nobel Biocare
Making a three-tooth bridge on two implants
Implant technology allows bridges to be made. It is not appropriate, however, to bind natural teeth and implants into a bridge. The teeth have some mobility when chewing, while the implants are completely fixed to the bone.
Implants of appropriate diameter are used to restore the different sized teeth. Implant System - BioHorizons.
Implant placement immediately after tooth extraction
Implants of appropriate diameter are used to restore the different sized teeth. Implant System - BioHorizons.
Implant placement immediately after tooth extraction
When inserting the implant, the empty spaces left after the tooth extraction are filled with the artificial bone.Thus, the maximum amount of bone and gum is preserved. Implant system - Bio Horizons.
Implant placement immediately after tooth extraction
The entire duration of the treatment - from the extraction of the tooth to the placement of the permanent crown in the implant, is exactly five months. Implant system - Neo Biotech
Implant placement with zirconium crown
Added crown adaptation to the gum is essential for the duration of treatment. Implant System - Neo Biotech
"Goodbye" to the uncomfortable prosthesis
After the implant treatment, the patient says goodbye to the uncomfortable prosthesis. Implant System - Neo Biotech
