Dental implants
Dental implantation is one way to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant is screwed into the jawbone, and once it has firmly integrated, it can serve as a support for a crown, bridge, or other prosthetic restoration.
Dental implantation is one way to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant is screwed into the jawbone, and once it has firmly integrated, it can serve as a support for a crown, bridge, or other prosthetic structure.
The implant replaces the function of the lost tooth’s root, and the prosthetic component attached to it helps restore the tooth’s shape, chewing function, and aesthetics.
The “Diadenta” clinic uses the Straumann implant system. The method and timing of implantation are selected individually for each patient after assessing the condition of the jawbone, the number of missing teeth, the bite, overall health, and the plan for future prosthetic treatment.
What is same-day implant placement?
In some cases, an implant can be placed immediately after the extraction of a non-restorable tooth. This is called immediate implantation.
This treatment method can shorten the overall treatment process and reduce the number of separate surgical procedures. However, it is not suitable for every patient.
The possibility of same-day implantation depends on:
- the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues;
- the nature and extent of the infection;
- the available bone volume;
- the ability to achieve sufficient initial implant stability;
- the planned prosthetic restoration.
Therefore, the final decision is made only after evaluating the specific clinical situation.

Frequently asked questions
The Diadenta clinic uses the Straumann implant system. The implantation method and timing are chosen individually for each patient.
No. If there is enough bone with suitable anatomy at the implant site, additional bone augmentation may not be necessary. The need for it is determined individually, usually based on a three-dimensional radiological examination.
In some cases, yes – this is called immediate implantation. Whether it is possible depends on the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues, any infection, the amount of bone and the primary stability of the implant, so the decision is made individually.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you do not feel pain during it, although you may feel pressure. For a few days after implantation, you may feel tenderness, tightness or swelling.
Yes. An implant cannot be affected by tooth decay, but without proper care, inflammation (peri-implantitis) can develop around it. It is important to clean the implant and the spaces between the teeth thoroughly and to attend regular check-ups and professional oral hygiene.
