Dental Implant (Straumann)

A titanium dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, providing a stable foundation for a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. At Kamil Turek Stomatologia implants use the Swiss Straumann system and are planned with an on-site CBCT scan for accurate, safe placement. The fixture is placed into the jawbone, left to integrate, and later restored with a zirconia crown on a titanium abutment. It is a long-term option for single gaps, multiple missing teeth or as support for bridges.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone to take the role of a missing tooth root. Once it has fused with the bone — a natural process called osseointegration — it provides a firm, independent anchor for a crown, so neighbouring healthy teeth do not need to be ground down as they would for a conventional bridge. At Kamil Turek Stomatologia, planning begins with a CBCT scan that maps bone volume and the position of nerves and sinuses, allowing the implant to be positioned precisely. The practice uses the Straumann system, a widely documented Swiss implant brand. Placement is carried out under local anaesthetic and is usually a straightforward procedure; the implant is then typically left to integrate for a number of weeks or months before the final restoration. Where bone height is insufficient in the upper jaw, a closed or open sinus lift can be performed to create room for the implant. The treatment is completed with a zirconia crown on a titanium abutment, priced separately, to restore appearance and chewing function. Implants are well suited to adults with one or more missing teeth who have generally healthy gums; smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and certain medications may affect healing and are reviewed beforehand. Good day-to-day hygiene and regular check-ups help an implant last for many years. Suitability, the number of visits and any preparatory steps are assessed at consultation with the surgical team.
