Dental implantology in Krakow — dental implants

All-on-4 is a method of restoring a full dental arch supported by four implants.

At MistoDent Krakow we perform All-on-4 using various implant systems. The procedure includes placing 4 implants and attaching a fixed screw-retained prosthesis with temporary teeth, according to an individual treatment plan.

The method may be considered, among others, for patients with complete edentulism or with teeth that can no longer be saved.

All-on-6 uses six implants as the foundation for restoring a full dental arch.

A larger number of implants allows the support of the prosthetic structure to be distributed differently, but the choice between All-on-4 and All-on-6 should not be based solely on the number of implants.

The decision is made by the dentist based on bone quantity and quality, the anatomy of the upper or lower jaw, bite conditions and the planned restoration.

In certain situations, an implant can be placed immediately after a tooth is extracted. This approach is called immediate implantation.

Not every tooth or extraction site qualifies for this procedure. Factors such as the condition of the bone and gums, the presence of inflammation and the possibility of achieving adequate implant stability all play a role.

After a tooth is lost, bone loss may occur over time. If the amount of bone is insufficient to plan an implant safely, the bone base may need to be prepared beforehand or at the same time as implantation.

Bone reconstruction for implants may involve various augmentation techniques. The scope of the procedure is determined by the implantologist after analysing imaging studies and anatomical conditions.

Not every patient requires augmentation before implantation.

1. Implant consultation — The dentist assesses the missing teeth, the condition of the oral cavity and the patient's expectations.
2. Diagnostics — Before implantation, the bone and anatomical structures must be assessed. The dentist selects the scope of diagnostics individually; CBCT scanning may be used in implant planning.
3. Treatment plan — We determine the number and position of implants, the implant system and the method of the future prosthetic restoration.
4. Implant placement — The implant is placed in the planned position. In suitable cases, the procedure may be supported by guided surgery solutions.
5. Healing and osseointegration — After the procedure there is a healing period during which the implant integrates with the bone. Its duration depends on the clinical situation.
6. Prosthetic restoration — Once suitable conditions are achieved, the final restoration is made — e.g. a crown, a bridge or a larger implant-supported prosthetic structure.

In more demanding cases, implant planning can be supported by digital technologies.

Based on 3D diagnostics, the position of the implant relative to the bone and anatomical structures can be planned, and then a surgical guide or the X-Guide dynamic navigation system can be used.

The dentist decides on the use of guided surgery depending on the specific case.

Implantology is a widely used method of replacing missing teeth, but like any surgical procedure it requires prior qualification.

Before treatment, the dentist assesses the condition of the oral cavity, the amount of bone, gum health and factors that may affect healing.

Some situations require additional preparation or a modified treatment plan, which is why qualification for implantation is always individual.

Dental implant placement is performed under anaesthesia, so the patient should not feel pain during the procedure itself.

Once the anaesthesia wears off, temporary soreness, swelling or discomfort related to tissue healing may occur. Their intensity depends, among other things, on the scope of the procedure and the individual response of the body.

After the procedure, the patient receives recommendations on how to proceed during the healing period.

Implants are designed as a long-term solution, but their durability depends on many factors.

The most important are proper hygiene, the condition of the gums and bone around the implant, bite conditions and regular check-ups.

The crown or other prosthetic structure on the implant is a separate element and may need repair or replacement over time, independently of the implant itself.

We treat implant therapy as a combination of surgery, diagnostics and prosthodontics. The implant is the foundation of the future restoration, so we plan it with the final result in mind.

• We plan implantation individually — the number and position of implants are matched to the clinical conditions.
• We use various implant systems — including Nobel, Straumann, MegaGen and JD Dental.
• We restore both single and extensive tooth loss — from a single implant to a full arch.
• We offer All-on-4 and All-on-6 — for extensive tooth loss and edentulism.
• We prepare the bone for implantation when the clinical situation requires it.
• We use 3D diagnostics and navigation solutions in cases where they are applicable.
• We combine implantology with prosthodontics — treatment is planned with the future crown, bridge or full restoration in mind.

At MistoDent Krakow, ul. Grzegórzecka 20A, you can start treatment with an implant consultation and diagnostics.
