Cos'è?

Capire Dental Implants

A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration, a custom-made porcelain crown is attached on top — creating a restoration that is virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth in both appearance and function. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants are standalone restorations that preserve the jawbone and do not depend on neighbouring teeth for support.

Per Chi È?

Questo Trattamento È Adatto a Te?

Dental implants are suitable for most healthy adults who have one or more missing teeth. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density and height, healthy gums, and no uncontrolled systemic diseases such as unmanaged diabetes. Patients who smoke or have bone loss may still be candidates after preparatory treatments such as bone grafting or sinus lifts. We evaluate every patient individually.

Processo Passo per Passo

Cosa Aspettarsi da MEDICUS

Crediamo che i pazienti informati ottengano risultati migliori. Ecco ogni fase del tuo percorso Dental Implants di trattamento.

1

3D Imaging & Consultation

We take a CBCT 3D cone beam scan to assess your bone density, height, and anatomy in detail. This informs the entire surgical plan and confirms your candidacy.

2

Personalised Treatment Plan

Our implantologist designs a surgical guide and treatment timeline tailored to your jawbone and aesthetic goals. Any prerequisite work (e.g. extractions, bone grafting) is planned here.

3

Implant Placement Surgery

Under local anesthesia, the titanium implant is precisely placed into the jawbone. The procedure is comfortable; most patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction.

4

Osseointegration Healing

Over the following 3–6 months, your bone naturally grows around and bonds to the implant surface — a process called osseointegration. This creates the stable foundation for your crown.

5

Abutment & Crown Fitting

Once fully healed, a connector piece (abutment) is attached, and your custom-milled porcelain crown is secured on top — colour-matched and shaped to complement your smile.

6

Long-Term Follow-Up

We schedule regular 6-month check-ups to monitor the implant, gum health, and surrounding bone. With proper maintenance, your implant can last for decades.

Istruzioni Post-Trattamento

Come Prendersi Cura del Trattamento

Seguire queste istruzioni garantisce la migliore guarigione e un risultato duraturo.

1

Apply an ice pack to the cheek for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling

2

Eat soft foods only for the first week (soup, yoghurt, mashed potato)

3

Avoid smoking for at least 2 weeks — smoking is the leading cause of implant failure

4

Take antibiotics and any pain medication exactly as prescribed

5

Rinse gently with warm salt water 24 hours after surgery, twice daily

6

Avoid touching the surgical site with your tongue or fingers

7

Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress

I've had an amazing experience at MEDICUS. All the staff without exception have been amazing — starting from reception to nurses and all the doctors. I had 5 implants, 2 fillings, and 2 crowns done here, completely painless. I'm very happy with the results.

FAQ

Domande Frequenti

Tutto quello che devi sapere su Dental Implants da MEDICUS.

Does the implant procedure hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is generally very comfortable. Most patients describe the experience as easier than a tooth extraction. Some mild soreness and swelling for 2–3 days post-surgery is normal and manageable with standard pain relief.

How long does the full treatment take?

From the initial implant placement to fitting the final crown, the process typically takes 4–6 months. This includes the essential osseointegration healing period. Same-day or immediate implants may be possible in select cases.

What is the success rate of dental implants?

Modern dental implants have a clinical success rate of approximately 95–98%. At MEDICUS, we use only premium implant systems (Nobel Biocare, Straumann) and 3D-guided surgical protocols to maximise outcomes.

Can I get implants if I have bone loss?

Yes. Many patients with bone loss are still candidates after bone grafting or sinus augmentation procedures. We assess each case individually and will recommend any preparatory treatments needed before implant placement.

How do dental implants compare to dentures?

Unlike dentures, implants are fixed, do not require adhesives, do not slip, and preserve the jawbone. They function and feel exactly like natural teeth. Implants are the gold standard long-term solution for missing teeth.

How much do dental implants cost in Albania?

Implant costs in Albania are significantly lower than in Western Europe or the USA — typically 50–70% less — without any compromise in materials or standards. Contact us for a personalised quote after your consultation.
