Dental Implants Budapest

There is no doubt that travelling abroad for dental implants can save you a small fortune. Whilst dental implants certainly are the 21st century solution to missing teeth, there is now no need to pay 21st century prices….

Dental implant abutments are at the core of implant function. They are used to transfer the load from the teeth to the dental implant itself and so high quality abutments are absolutely essential in any high quality restoration….

Periodontal (gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. The word periodontal literally means “around the tooth.” Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. It begins when the bacteria in plaques causes the gums to become inflamed.
In the mildest form of the disease, gingivitis, the gums redden, swell and bleed easily. There is usually little or no discomfort. Gingivitis is often caused by inadequate oral hygiene. Gingivitis is reversible with professional treatment and good oral home care….

Inlays and onlays are ways of repairing relatively extensive tooth decay or damage without having to replace the whole outer portion of the tooth. An inlay is done when the tooth structure replaced is within the cusp tips of the tooth. If the damage is more extensive and the new structure covers the entire chewing surface including one or more tooth cusps, the procedure is called an onlay.
Unlike fillings, inlays and onlays do not weaken the tooth structure, but actually strengthens it. After the procedure the tooth can bear up to 50 – 75% more chewing force. They also tend to last longer than a filling.

hown here (greatly enlarged) are the three pieces that make up a full dental implant restoration.

The Crown
Here seen from the side, this is a front lateral incisor.

The Abutment
The post, which is the upper portion of the abutment, will in this case have the crown cemented onto it after the lower section is attached to the implant below. Notice the curved horizontal line which is designed to fit the lower curve of the crown. None of the abutment will be visible once the crown is fitted onto it.

The Dental Implant
None of the implant is visible once the abutment and crown have been fitted.
