Program description:
Our service starts at the airport. Our employee meets you at the airport and holds a sign with your name. In the individual folder you will find detailed information about the medical program and the upcoming operation.
Day 1.
Consultation with a leading surgeon. The aim of implantation is not only to restore the natural function of the teeth, but also to achieve an excellent aesthetic result.
During the consultation, the doctor will examine you, clarify your wishes and tell you how the implantation will be performed. You will choose the type of implant, select the manufacturer and treatment tactics.
Examination. Before the implantation, the patient undergoes the necessary examinations, including laboratory tests, and visits an anesthesiologist. All examinations are carried out in our hospital. This stage will not take much time. The examination usually takes 1-3 hours.
We must be 100% sure that the procedure will go well and that you will achieve the desired result.
After the first appointment you can go to the hotel and relax. All hotels that we offer to our patients are within walking distance of the hospital.
3D model creation. The doctor plans the upcoming procedure carefully. We make a replica of the patient's jaw. The model allows the doctor to simulate the process of installing implants.
This allows for more careful planning of the implant installation, eliminating inaccuracies and possible errors.
Day 2.
Implantation.
On the second day, you arrive at the hospital for implantation. Depending on the chosen tactics, the intervention is performed.
The one-step implantation allows forming a tiny round hole in the jaw and performing implantation. The procedure takes no more than half an hour and is performed under the local anesthesia.
If you have indications for this type of implantation, then an abutment and a temporary crown will be installed initially. You can stay with a temporary crown for up to 3 years. Further, you can install a permanent crown at the convenient time.
The rate of successful osseointegration of the implants we use is over 99%. Each implant has an individual warranty.
Days 3-6.
Recovery period.
After the surgery, soft tissue edema is observed. This is a normal body reaction. The swelling can spread to the tongue, chin, and cheeks. Normally, the swelling goes away in 2-3 days.
Your doctor may recommend medications to reduce inflammation, as well as pain killers and wound healing medications.
There is no need to remove the stitches, since the operation is performed through small punctures. Recovery in such case is much faster and easier than after the classical implantation.
The doctor conducts a final examination, gives recommendations and detailed instructions on further treatment.
