Dental Implants Gdańsk

No, the implant placement procedure is completely painless. We perform it under local anesthesia, individually selected to the patient's sensitivity. Modern surgical techniques, precise instruments, and digital planning with surgical templates minimize the invasiveness of the procedure. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable and quick the entire process is. After the procedure, slight discomfort or tenderness may occur in the implant area, which is easily controlled with standard painkillers and usually subsides after 2-3 days.

After a simple single-implant procedure, patients usually experience no unpleasant symptoms or visible swelling. Swelling is a natural bodily reaction and primarily occurs after more complex procedures requiring bone regeneration or sinus lift. In such cases, it typically lasts from 2 to 5 days. It can be alleviated with cold compresses applied during the first 24 hours and anti-inflammatory and pain medications recommended by the dentist. Importantly – swelling is very rarely accompanied by pain. Most patients return to their daily activities the next day.
Thanks to digital planning and surgical templates, the procedure is minimally invasive – sometimes it does not even require a gum incision. The implant is precisely placed in the planned position, which increases predictability and shortens healing time.

Immediately after the procedure, the patient may experience mild to moderate discomfort in the implant area, which usually subsides after 2-3 days. Most patients return to their daily activities the next day, following the doctor's recommendations regarding diet (soft foods for the first few days), hygiene, and pain medication. For office work, one can usually return after 1-2 days, while intense physical exertion is recommended to be postponed for 7-10 days after the procedure. If discomfort intensifies, severe pain, or fever occurs, contact the dental office immediately.

The cost of placing a desired quality implant ranges from 3000 to 4500 PLN, depending on the implant system (Straumann, Dentsply, Megagen) and the complexity of the case. To this, the cost of a prosthetic crown (2500-3500 PLN), a prosthetic abutment, and any additional procedures such as bone regeneration or sinus lift must be added. A precise quote is provided after diagnostics and establishing an individual treatment plan. The scope of comprehensive implantological treatment at Prodent Gdańsk is individually tailored to the patient's needs based on modern Vatech computed tomography.

Dental implants are a durable, lifelong solution – with proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last 20, 30 years, or even longer. Clinical studies show that after 10 years, over 95% of implants still function correctly. The key to implant longevity is proper care, regular check-up visits every 6 months, professional cleaning, and avoiding risk factors such as smoking or neglecting hygiene. The crown on the implant may require replacement after 10-15 years for aesthetic reasons or material wear, but the implant itself remains stable.

The dental implant placement procedure is simple, quick, painless, and practically possible for any patient over 21 years of age with healthy gums. Implants are suitable for adult patients who have lost single or multiple teeth due to decay, trauma, or periodontal disease. Most contraindications can be eliminated by proper patient preparation for the procedure. Prior assessment of the jawbone or mandible condition is always necessary. Absolute contraindications include: age under 21, pregnancy, period up to 6 months after a heart attack, active oncological treatment, and intravenous bisphosphonate intake. The patient should inform the doctor about all problems and illnesses during the implantological consultation.

Immediate implantation is a procedure where the implant is placed on the same day the tooth is extracted – directly into the socket after the root is removed. This is the fastest solution, shortening the waiting time for treatment completion and allowing for immediate placement of a temporary crown. The patient comes with their own tooth and leaves the office with an implant and a crown. This shortens treatment time and is very psychologically comfortable, as the patient is never left without a tooth. Immediate implantation is suitable in cases where a tooth needs to be removed for orthodontic reasons, root fracture, or failed root canal treatment, and the surrounding bone and gums are in good condition. We do not use it in cases of active infections or significant bone loss.

Yes! At Prodent Gdańsk, we offer comprehensive full dental reconstruction using the All-on-4 (four implants) or All-on-6 (six implants) method, which allows for restoring a full set of teeth in one day. This is an excellent solution for individuals with significant tooth loss who want to regain a beautiful and functional smile in a single day. We also apply this method to edentulous patients who have used complete dentures for many years. During one procedure, strategically placed implants are inserted, on which a temporary porcelain bridge is attached on the same day. After a healing period (3-6 months), you will receive a permanent, aesthetic ceramic bridge. We also make screw-retained bridges on implants without artificial gums, which ensures maximum aesthetics and hygiene.

The procedure begins with thorough diagnostics, including X-rays or 3D computed tomography, intraoral scans, and photographic documentation. Based on the collected data, treatment planning and surgical template printing take place. Then, the implant is precisely placed in the bone under local anesthesia – the procedure is painless and minimally invasive, lasting approximately 30-60 minutes. After a period of healing and integration with the bone (usually from several weeks to several months), we perform implant exposure, place a healing abutment, and then take a scan for the crown using a scanner and special scan bodies. Finally, the prosthetic crown, individually selected for shape and color, is installed. The entire process at Prodent Gdańsk takes place in comfortable and safe conditions, and in many cases, we can minimize the number of stages and visits to two or three.

Implants require regular oral hygiene – daily tooth brushing (at least twice a day), flossing, cleaning interdental spaces with interdental brushes or a water flosser, and dental check-ups guarantee long-term results and oral health. We also recommend radiological check-ups every few months, especially during the first year after the procedure. It is important to use soft toothbrushes, low-abrasive toothpaste, and an antibacterial, alcohol-free mouthwash. Harmful habits such as smoking (significantly increases the risk of peri-implantitis), excessive alcohol consumption, biting hard objects, or cracking nuts with teeth should be avoided. Regular check-up visits allow for early detection of potential problems and ensure that implants remain stable, aesthetic, and serve for many years.
