WHY DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Not only does the absence of a tooth (or multiple teeth) disrupt the harmony of the dental arch, but every missing tooth also burdens the temporomandibular joint, impairs chewing and affects the normal functioning of the jaw.

Dental implants are the most effective and advanced existing replacement for one or more missing teeth.

DENTAL IMPLANTS HAVE UNPARALLELED ADVANTAGES BECAUSE:

  • They do not damage other teeth in the jaw: during the placement of dental implants, other teeth in the jaw are not compromised or shaved

  • They enhance your self-confidence: unlike regular dentures, implant-supported dental restorations do not cause discomfort or looseness, providing patients with a sense of security and comfort

  • They closely resemble natural teeth in appearance, and the sensation in the mouth is identical to natural teeth

  • They can serve as anchors for dentures, making them more stable and comfortable

  • They enable patients who are missing teeth in the posterior regions of the dental arch to have a fixed bridge instead of a denture

  • For completely edentulous patients, dental implants allow the construction of a fixed bridge using 6-8 implants, or better, more stable, and reduced dentures

IMPLANTS ARE QUICK AND EASY TO PLACE

An implant consists of two parts: a titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone, replacing the missing tooth root, and a superstructure on which the dental crown is fabricated.

Although “placement of a titanium screw into the bone” may sound intimidating, the procedure itself is painless and takes only about 10 minutes per implant.

The process of implant placement

After a consultation with Dr. Lazar, a specialist in oral surgery and implantology, and an official instructor for Zimmer implant systems, you will agree on a detailed treatment plan.

  • The placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia (if there is a significant fear of pain and the dentist, analgesia can also be used, which is a completely safe method in which patients do not feel fear or pain).

  • The implant placement process takes about 10 minutes per implant. If you are coming from abroad, plan to stay in Belgrade for one day – that is enough time for an examination and proper imaging, and then, if the doctor determines that you are a candidate for implants, the placement procedure is performed.

  • Recovery after implant placement is quick, and mild discomfort may last for up to a week.

  • After placement, a waiting period is necessary for the implant to osseointegrate (fuse with the bone), which typically takes about 2-3 months, followed by the fabrication of the prosthetic work (crowns, bridges, dentures, etc.).

  • There is no room for concern about implant rejection in Lavin Dental Clinic.

ALL ON FOUR

Laugh, eat, and speak with ease. With the All-on-Four concept, forget about ill-fitting, loose, or aesthetically inadequate dentures.

The All-on-Four concept represents a revolution in the treatment of edentulous patients (and those with remaining teeth to be extracted) with significant jawbone loss. This system allows such patients to receive a fixed prosthesis without extensive surgical interventions, restoring their confidence and giving them a broad smile!

The All-on-Four procedure consists of 2 phases:

  • Phase I (2 days) – implant placement, extraction of teeth if necessary,  and fabrication of temporary dentures.

  • Phase II (7 days) – uncovering the implants and fabrication of the “All-on-Four” fixed prosthesis.

STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT, HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS, AND COMPETITIVE PRICES!

Although the implant placement procedure is simple and painless, it is a surgical intervention. Therefore, it is desirable to perform it in perfectly sterile conditions.

Our patients have the privilege (separate surgical rooms are still rare in our field) of having implants placed in a dedicated surgical room, completely separate from the area used for grinding and other non-surgical dental procedures.

Moreover, a special UV lamp for sterilizing the space ensures work in completely sterile conditions.

To ensure that even the smallest detail of your teeth and gums receives adequate attention and treatment, we use a special surgical light that provides much better visibility of the working area, enabling more precise work on the details.

At Lavin Dental Clinic, we exclusively use high-quality implants:

  • Straumann
  • Zimmer

For implants placed in our clinic, you will receive a passport, a certificate, and a multi-year warranty – both for the implants and the prosthetic work.

Free accommodation

We strive to make it easier for our patients to organize and navigate every step on the path to a radiant and healthy smile.

Therefore, if you are coming from abroad and need accommodation, we provide modern, comfortable, and completely free-of-charge lodging, along with complimentary transportation to and from the airport. All our apartments have Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and TV, and they are located in the city center, close to the dental clinic as well as numerous interesting landmarks and activities, ensuring that your stay in our capital city is as enriching as possible.
