This text is a guide for all future patients to
GET ANSWERS IN ONE PLACE TO ALL THE QUESTIONS
they usually ask at every first call or email!
Below are the stages you will go through from the moment you decide to have the implant placement:
- EXAMINATION
When you are sufficiently informed and have decided to enter the implant placement procedure, it is time to get in touch with the office. The most common communication is via e-mail, but very often also via phone calls.
Our practice insists on patient-doctor contact.
If you are physically unable to come to the first examination, we organize communication with the doctor via video call. During the first examination, the doctor analyzes your 3D image and creates a therapy plan, explaining each phase in detail and answering your questions or concerns.
If you are able to come to the doctor’s office in person, which is our recommendation, the doctor first performs a clinical examination and then moves on to the phase of creating a treatment plan.
The examination lasts from 30-60 minutes.
TREATMENT PLAN CONSISTS OF:
- How many stages does we plan to work
- Regions of teeth indicated for extraction (if any)
- Is additional surgical intervention required
- Regions where implants need to be inserted (number of implants per jaw and final number)
- Type of temporary teeth
- Time required for the entire surgical phase (including temporary teeth)
- Approximate time for which you can plan the prosthetic phase
- Is prosthetic preparation required (number of teeth to be treated, extensions, etc.)
- How many crowns need to be made in the prosthetic phase and what type of crowns
- How much time is needed for the prosthetic phase
- Individual prices of each intervention as well as the final calculation of each phase
At the end of each examination, the patient receives a written offer with a therapy plan and cost calculation. Every type of examination is free. You can schedule the first examination by phone: +38349724762 or by email: [email protected]
2. SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT
Our offer, which you receive after the examination, is in written form and contains detailed written stages as well as the interventions that are done in each of the stages so that you can organize your time and prepare for the start of the first stage.
During the first examination, all patients undergo a general health check. If it is necessary to make certain preparations for surgical intervention or additional analyses, this will be explained to you in detail.
Appointments are made at least 5 days in advance.
It is the policy of our practice not to take advance payments for scheduled work, but patients are asked to respect the scheduled appointments and respect the time allotted for their work.
When making an appointment, you will also receive all the necessary instructions. Most of the surgical interventions are done in the morning.
3. SURGICAL INTERVENTION / DENTAL IMPLANT SURGERY
Before the start of the intervention itself, there is an administrative procedure (filling in the consent, opening the card, filling out the questionnaire about the general state of health…). If there is a lot of nervousness and fear, our assistants will talk to you and you will receive oral sedation in the form of tablets.
When the patient enters the surgical room, he stays there for approximately half an hour for the installation of one implant to approximately 2 hours for the installation of 6-8 implants. For the application of surgical anesthesia and suturing of the wound, we spend up to half an hour. Placement of an implant is a short-term procedure and takes about 15 minutes per implant. Tooth extraction, if necessary, often takes a lot oftime because the surgeon has to perform the extraction procedure very meticulously and clean the wound because it is often the region where the implant is placed.
If you perform surgical intervention in both jaws, the procedures are usually divided into two days, but they can be done on the same day with a break of half an hour between the jaws.
After discharge, the patient is obliged to spend a little more time in the doctor’s office to monitor the general condition and bleeding.
At the counter, you get an appointment for the first check-up, which is after 24 hours, and an hourly rate for taking antibiotics, and written instructions for post-surgical care.
Our phone is available 24 hours a day if you have any questions or concerns.
4. TEMPORARY TEETH
When the surgeon leaves the room, you will receive all the detailed information regarding the planning of the prosthetic phase as well as the planning of temporary teeth, and it depends on the conditions in the mouth.
Our recommendation is always for patients to wait for the sutures to be removed, but if you are coming from abroad, this is usually not possible, so we make temporary teeth immediately after the surgical phase.
Temporary teeth can be fixed or in the form of a mobile prosthesis, which the surgeon will decide.
The lab tech. time is from one to three days.
5. PROSTHETIC PHASE
When you are done with the surgical phase, there is a period of waiting for the implants to grow with the bone, and that period usually lasts 3 months. If you can, you can make an appointment for the beginning of the prosthetic phase immediately after the installation of the implant or later, but at least two weeks before the beginning, because that phase is very complex and requires a lot of planning and time.
What is important to confirm with the surgeon after the surgical phase in relation to the therapy plan you received is the number and type of crowns and whether anything changes.
Prosthetic work in the upper and lower jaw generally takes 7-10 days.
The first day is the most demanding for both you and the doctor, because the implants are revealed, the teeth are prepared (if there are any), and impressions are taken for the dental laboratory. During this phase we have a couple of rehearsals.
After about 5-7 days comes the first version of the final work. In agreement with you, all kinds of corrections (color, shape, size, slope…) are possible. Only when we achieve a perfect smile prosthetic work will be cemented.
Our team will explain in detail how the work is carried out and give guidelines on maintaining oral hygiene
This is where the road to your perfect smile ends, but a nice time together with us at the mandatory check-ups begins!.
