Dentistry has recently become one of the most popular medical tourism destinations around the world. Patients pay special attention to dental implantation abroad. Israel, Germany, China, Korea — these are the countries that are most often chosen for this procedure.
Dental implantation is a surgical procedure involving the insertion of a special endoprosthesis or implant into the jaw that mimics the root of a tooth.
Advantages of dental implantation abroad
In addition to the use of state-of-the-art technologies, high professionalism of foreign specialists and relatively low prices, dental implantation abroad has the following advantages::
- high—quality materials - for this procedure abroad, as a rule, implants made of biocompatible materials are used that do not cause rejection of the body and do not damage healthy teeth.;
- the comfort and painlessness of the procedure — foreign specialists often use such a method of anesthesia as sedation — a "sleep-like" state of peace and tranquility, the absence of anxiety and fear, achieved with the help of a small dose of drugs. The patient is conscious at the same time. It is worth noting that only an experienced anesthesiologist who is able to correctly calculate the dose of anesthesia can correctly sedate;
- restoration of any number of teeth — from one to a whole row;
- individual approach to the manufacture of implants — the patient can choose crowns in the color of their tooth enamel;
- a short implantation period — the patient can restore teeth in just 2-4 clinic visits.
Methods of implantation abroad
Dental implantation abroad, as a rule, involves the use of two techniques – in one stage or in two.
- In a single-stage operation, the implant is placed immediately after tooth resection, without waiting for new bone tissue to form. It is carried out in one step. This type of dental implantation abroad can significantly reduce the treatment time and reduce the risk of injury.
- A two—stage operation is a classic technique, the whole process of which takes two stages: the first is the installation of implants, and the second is prosthetics. This technology is renowned for its reliability and excellent results.
The methods are selected individually, depending on the doctor's indications.
It is worth noting that dental implants abroad are increasingly performed using laser technology, which allows surgical procedures to be performed without the use of additional anesthesia and reduces the risk of complications to zero.
