FLORENCE IMPLANTOLOGY

Implantology brings about exceptional results which are obtained by restoring one or more missing teeth and supporting tissues, i.e. bone and gums.

Titanium dental implants, for example, are completely hypoallergenic and help in restoring the mouth to proper working order as well as making it look good. These implants do not effect the natural teeth near the implantation sites. Also with the techniques of modern dental implantology carried out at the Baldi Dental Practice in Florence, post-operative complications and trauma are minimised.

IMPLANT Procedures

Implants can also be used with patients that have reduced bone tissue, through modern surgical regeneration techniques, such as sinus augmentation which consists in effectively restoring bone volumes, fixing implants in a stable way through osteoconductive materials.

It is recommended that this condition be diagnosed using specific X-ray assessments using computed axial tomography (CT) which in dentistry is called low radiation emission Cone Beam CT.

There are different methods available because dental implantology offers a range of surgical options which need to be evaluated on a case by case basis. We may position the same implants differently, according to the severity of each specific case, and we always try to reduce the time it takes for the implant as well as the recovery time.

If there is a pre-existing condition, then it is also possible to insert implants at "immediate load ", a surgical technique that allows a temporary prosthesis to be placed on an implant within a few hours of surgery. This greatly reducing patient's discomfort and is much better for both the look and working aspects of the implant. It also avoids having to wait a certain amount of months usually needed before the "traditional" implantology procedure.

One critical reason why this technique may be performed is because there is a good amount and good quality bone in available to make the surgery a success. Both single and multiple implants can be loaded and even the entire arch can be restored using the Toronto bridge. This is a fixed prosthesis that is fitted on the implants through the "all on four" method, i.e. on 4 screws and can replace up to 10-12 teeth.

If you would like a prosthesis that is even more stable, you can also use 6 screws (All on six).
