All You Need to Know About Dental Implants
What are Dental Implants and Am I a Candidate?
Dental implants are titanium screws that are inserted into your jawbone to act as artificial roots for your teeth. They are connected to an abutment which in turn is topped by a dental crown.
The crown is custom made for every patient, ensuring the right fit and the same colour as the rest of your teeth.
Elements of Dental Implants
Dental implants have several benefits over conventional dentures, such as:
- Improving chewing function
- Being natural & comfortable
- Helping with better maintenance of bone
- Not needing to be taken out every night & cleaned
However, not everyone is a candidate for dental implants.
If you have any of the following, you might not be eligible for dental implants:
- HIV
- AIDS
- Diabetes
- Osteoporosis
- Heavy smoking habits
- Habits like tooth grinding
You should also know that you need healthy jawbone in order to get dental implants.

If you have bone loss, you might need a bone graft surgery before the implant procedure.[1]

What is Dental Implant Surgery Like?
Dental implant surgery involves several steps.
Dental Evaluation
Your dentist will take your medical and dental history along with X-rays to evaluate your teeth and bones.
Additional Procedures
Tooth extractions or bone grafting if you need it.
Tooth Extraction
Bone Grafting
Dental Implant Surgery
The surgeon will insert the implant in your jawbone. Healing will take a few months. During this time, you will wear a temporary prosthesis.
Permanent Prosthesis
After a few months, you will finally get your permanent teeth.

Is Dental Implant Surgery Painful?
You won’t feel any pain during your dental implant surgery as you will be given anesthesia.
After the surgery, some pain, discomfort, and swelling is normal.
You will be prescribed medications for these.
However, if any of these symptoms worsen, you should consult your dentist immediately.

Medicines After Dental Implants
How Long Does It Take to Get Dental Implants in Zagreb, Croatia?
You will need to take two trips to Zagreb in order to get dental implants. Refer to the following table to see how long it will take you to get dental implants.
| Procedure | Visit 1 | Visit 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Single Implant | 1-2 days | 3-4 days |
| All on 4/All on 6 Implants | 3 days | 6-7 days |
| Zygoma Implant | 2 days | 4 days |
| Same Day Implant With Crown | 2-3 days | - |
| Bone Graft | 1-2 days | - |
| Sinus Lifting | 1-2 days | - |
Two visits are required because there is a healing period after implants are inserted. It will take several months for the implant to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
In all this time you will be wearing a temporary prosthesis. During your second visit, once healing is over, you will get your permanent prosthesis.
If you need a bone graft, you will need to make one extra visit as the healing takes 4-6 months.

How Do I Take Care of My Dental Implants?

- Avoid hot food & drinks while numb
- Have only soft food for a few days post-surgery
- Quit smoking to avoid any risk of complications
