Dental Implants in Dubrovnik, Croatia
About Dental Implants
- Dental implants are like artificial roots for teeth.
- They are placed in your jawbone to support replacement teeth when you have missing ones.
- They help you eat, talk, and smile like you did before.[4]
No. of Visits
- Getting dental implants in Dubrovnik will require two visits.
- The first visit will last for one day.
- The second visit will last three to four days.
Step 1: Evaluation
First, the dentist examines your teeth and jawbone.
This is done to determine if you're a suitable candidate for dental implants.
Step 2: Preparing the Jawbone
Suppose your jawbone is not strong enough or lacks sufficient space.
Then you may need a bone graft to create space for the implant.
Step 3: Implant Placement
The dentist will make a small cut in your gum and create a small hole in the jawbone.
Then, they will carefully put in an implant that looks like a metal screw.
It takes the place of your natural tooth root.
Step 4: Osseointegration
After the implant is placed, your jawbone needs time to heal and join together with the implant.
This process, called osseointegration, takes a few months.
Step 5: Abutment Placement
Once the osseointegration is done, a tiny connector called an abutment is attached to the implant.
It links the implant to the replacement tooth.
Step 6: Tooth Replacement
Finally, a custom-made dental crown is created to match your other teeth.
It gets attached to the abutment, completing the dental implant process.
