Dental Implants in Kiev
Dental Implants
Placing Dental Implants is a popular treatment procedure, being in greater demand each year.
Dental implants not only fully restore chewing function, but also improve overall facial aesthetics. Jaw bones tend to reduce over time after tooth extraction, causing face to look much older. Traditional prosthesis does not prevent loss of bone tissue; on the contrary, using removable dentures may cause further loss of jaw substances.
Endosteal [endosseous] implant is the most common type of implants. Implant is a titanium structure implanted in the jaw and serving as the basis for fixing a new tooth. It connects firmly to the bone and has no risk of failure. Implant supported prosthesis look as naturally as real teeth do.
An important implant’s feature is its durability. Over 90% of implant supported dentures successfully serve for about 10 years. The lifetime of implants is not limited.
