The procedure of implant placement requires administering only a local anesthesia, and the process of its integration with the bone is painless. Titanium is a metal, which does not cause any allergic reactions and easily integrates with the bone. Dental implants have been in use for nearly fifty years to replace missing teeth, and the results of implant placement are close to natural teeth.
The patient can't tell the difference between a tooth restored on an implant from their own teeth, both in terms of aesthetics and in terms of comfort of use. Regular follow-up visits to the dentist and oral hygiene guarantee long-standing treatment success.
Restoration of one or more teeth may be based on an implant. The implant is a stable support for a prosthetic crown or bridge. By using an implant it is possible to avoid grinding of one's own teeth to make place for the traditional prosthetic bridge.

Implants provide a stable support for complete dentures, which considerably improves the quality of life and the aesthetics of the smile.
