Tooth loss: the causes
There can be many causes of tooth loss:
• trauma mekanike të llojeve të ndryshme
deep caries
periodontal disease
other oral cavity pathologies.
The loss of one or more teeth causes a reduction in chewing function which, in turn, causes a slow loss of mass and density of bone tissue.

Is the implantology treatment painful?
It is not a painful treatment because, at the time of insertion of the dental implant, the patient is given local anesthesia to reduce any possibility of discomfort.
Anesthetics specifically developed for oral surgery are used, these are very effective and the patient does not feel any pain.
If the patient is particularly anxious, anxiolytics can be administered.
Following the surgical treatment, all the necessary medications will be prescribed in order to effectively control the onset of post-operative pain.

What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implantology represents an excellent and long-term solution for those who have lost their teeth. It offers aesthetic, functional and health benefits that are unmatched by other options.
Compared to the common fixed denture, dental implants have significant advantages, here are some:
• Aesthetics: implants look and work like natural teeth, improving the appearance of the smile and self-confidence.
• Bone conservation: implantology prevents the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing, helping to maintain the structure of the face.
• Durability: with proper maintenance, implants can last a lifetime.
• Functionality: they improve chewing and speech, making eating and speaking easier than traditional dentures.

Immediate loading implantology
For the immediate loading implant, optimal bone quality is required. Once the implant is fixed, it is functionalized within 24 hours with the fixed prosthesis.

Two-stage implantology
However, the most commonly used implant is the two-stage one, that is, the one in which the first surgical stage (insertion) is followed by a second surgical stage of uncovering and prosthetics, generally 3-6 months after the first.

Dental implants without bone
In the presence of a bone deficit on both the upper and lower dental arches, there are many solutions, but the most common interventions are certainly the maxillary sinus lift, bone regeneration or bone grafting.

What to eat after dental surgery?
Among the concerns and doubts of dental implant surgery is also what it will be possible to eat in the following days. It is advisable not to eat hot foods and to prefer soft consistencies, thus avoiding excessive chewing.
