Nobel Biocare Implants: The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement at Dobrý Dent Clinic

A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root, most often made of biocompatible titanium. This small screw is surgically inserted directly into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. Titanium has a unique ability called osseointegration – it fuses firmly with the surrounding bone tissue and thus becomes a stable and solid base for subsequent attachment of a prosthetic replacement (crown, bridge or removable prosthesis).

Compared to traditional solutions such as bridges or removable prosthesis, implants offer a number of fundamental advantages:

• Preservation of surrounding teeth: Unlike a bridge, it is not necessary to grind healthy neighboring teeth, which is a huge advantage for their long-term health.
• Prevention of bone loss: The implant transfers chewing forces to the bone similarly to a natural root, thus stimulating bone tissue and preventing its gradual loss (atrophy), which is typical after tooth loss.
• High stability and functionality: Implants provide a solid anchorage for dental implants. a replacement that does not wobble, does not move and allows you to eat, talk and laugh without any restrictions. Functionally and emotionally, it is the closest to your own teeth.
• Aesthetics: A crown placed on an implant looks completely natural and fits perfectly into the dental arch.
• Long-term durability: With proper care and regular check-ups, dental implants can last for decades, often even a lifetime.

Nobel Biocare is not just a brand, it is synonymous with pioneering and the highest quality in dental implantology. The company builds on the legacy of Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, who discovered the phenomenon of osseointegration in the 1950s and laid the foundations of modern implantology. Since then, Nobel Biocare has been a leader in innovation and research, which is reflected in the exceptional properties of their products.

Key benefits of Nobel Biocare implants:

• Long-term research and clinical studies: Every Nobel Biocare product is supported by extensive scientific research and decades of clinical experience. This guarantees their predictability, safety and high success rate.
• Innovative TiUnite® surface: The unique surface treatment of TiUnite implants supports faster and stronger osseointegration (fusion with the bone), which increases implant stability and shortens healing time.
• Wide portfolio of solutions: Nobel Biocare offers a comprehensive range of implants of various shapes, lengths and diameters, as well as prosthetic components. This allows our doctors at Dobrý Dent to select the optimal solution for each clinical situation, from the replacement of a single tooth to complex reconstructions of the entire dentition (e.g. the All-on-4® concept).
• All-on-4® concept: A revolutionary solution developed by Nobel Biocare that allows for the fixed replacement of the entire dental arch on just four strategically placed implants. Ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.
• Precision manufacturing and quality control: Nobel Biocare implants are manufactured with maximum precision using the latest technology and undergo strict quality control.
• Global availability and support: Thanks to a global network, both the doctor and the patient are assured of the availability of components and support anywhere in the world.
• Lifetime warranty: Nobel Biocare provides a lifetime warranty on its implants, which demonstrates its extraordinary confidence in the quality and reliability of their products.

By choosing Nobel Biocare implants at the Dobrý Dent clinic, you are not only choosing a premium product, but also the certainty that your treatment is based on the latest scientific findings and long-term proven procedures. For us, quality and patient safety come first, which is why we cooperate with the best suppliers on the market.

The placement of a dental implant is a carefully planned process that takes place in several steps at our clinic, always with an emphasis on maximum precision, safety and your comfort. Thanks to the modern technologies we have at our disposal, the entire process is more efficient and gentler for the patient.

1. Initial consultation and diagnostics:

It all starts with a thorough consultation, where we discuss your expectations, health status and treatment options. A key part is detailed diagnostics. At the Dobrý Dent clinic, we use modern 3D CBCT X-ray (Cone Beam Computed Tomography). This examination provides us with a three-dimensional image of your jawbone, which is absolutely essential for accurate planning of implantation. We can assess in detail the quality and quantity of bone, the exact location of nerves and other important anatomical structures. This minimizes risks and ensures the optimal position for the implant.

2. Treatment planning:

Based on the CBCT images and clinical examination, we create an individual treatment plan. We are increasingly using digital planning. Using specialized software, we virtually place the Nobel Biocare implant in a 3D model of your jaw. This allows us to choose the ideal type, size and inclination of the implant to achieve the best functional and aesthetic result. In some cases, we can also use a 3D intraoral scanner to create a digital impression of your teeth, which further refines the planning and production of prosthetic work.

3. Surgical phase – implant placement:

The implant placement itself takes place under local anesthesia. At the Dobrý Dent clinic, we place great emphasis on the painlessness of the procedure, which is why we use the STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) system – computer-controlled anesthesia, which ensures maximum comfort and precise administration of anesthetic. We perform the procedure using an operating microscope, which allows us to work with maximum precision and minimal invasiveness, which contributes to faster and less painful healing. The surgeon creates a small bed in the bone, into which the Nobel Biocare titanium implant is gently inserted. The wound is then closed with stitches.

4. Healing (Osseointegration):

After the implant is inserted, there is a healing period during which osseointegration occurs – the fusion of the implant with the bone. This phase usually lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on individual factors and the quality of the bone. During this time, the implant is either covered by the gum or a so-called healing roller is placed on it. In some cases, a temporary restoration can also be made.

5. Prosthetic phase:

After the implant has successfully healed, the final dental restoration is made. Again, we use either classic impressions or we prefer the more accurate and comfortable digital impression using a 3D intraoral scanner. Based on the impression, the dental laboratory will make a custom-made crown, bridge or other prosthetic work, which will then be firmly attached to the implant. We make sure that the replacement is not only functional, but also aesthetically perfect and fits naturally into your smile.

6. Follow-up care and check-ups:

The success of the implantation depends not only on the procedure itself, but also on your follow-up care. Careful oral hygiene and regular check-ups at our Dobrý Dent clinic are important, including professional dental hygiene. During the check-ups, we monitor the condition of the implant, surrounding tissues and the entire oral cavity.

Our Dobrý Dent clinic in Prague 5 is equipped with the latest technologies that allow us to perform implantology procedures with maximum precision, safety and comfort for the patient:

• 3D CBCT X-ray: Indispensable for accurate diagnosis and planning. It allows us to see anatomical structures in 3D, which is key to safe placement of the Nobel Biocare implant and preventing complications.
• 3D Intraoral Scanner: Replaces unpleasant classic impressions. Digital impressions are faster, more comfortable and extremely accurate, resulting in perfectly fitting prosthetic replacements. It enables a fully digital workflow.
• Operating microscope: The magnification of the surgical field allows the doctor to work with details that are invisible to the naked eye. This leads to a more precise procedure, less tissue trauma and better healing.
• STA system (Computer-Assisted Anesthesia): Ensures slow, controlled and targeted administration of anesthetic, which minimizes discomfort associated with the injection and ensures effective anesthesia.

Thanks to these technologies, we at the Dobrý Dent clinic can move the quality of implantology care to the highest level and offer you a solution that is not only functional and aesthetic, but also extremely gentle and safe.

Nobel Biocare dental implants are generally suitable for most adult patients who have lost one, more or all teeth. The basic prerequisite is good general health and a sufficient amount of quality jawbone to anchor the implant. Even in cases where the bone is not sufficient, there are modern procedures (e.g. bone augmentation, sinus lift) that can solve the situation and enable implantation. We will always assess this individually during the initial consultation and based on a 3D CBCT examination.

There are certain contraindications, such as some serious systemic diseases, untreated periodontitis, heavy smoking or insufficient oral hygiene. We will discuss all these aspects with you in detail and suggest the best course of action.

Caring for dental implants is basically no different from caring for your own teeth. The key is consistent and regular oral hygiene – brushing your teeth twice a day with a quality toothbrush and toothpaste, using interdental brushes and dental floss to clean the areas around the implant. Regular preventive check-ups and dental hygiene visits to our Dobrý Dent clinic (usually every 6 months) are equally important. Professional cleaning helps remove plaque and tartar from areas that are harder to reach with home cleaning, thus preventing inflammation of the gums around the implant (peri-implantitis), which could jeopardize its long-term durability.
