Hungary dental implants – Worthy reasons to travel to Hungary to receive dental work

Every year, lots of medical travelers visit Hungary especially to get dental treatments. On the list, dental screw schemes are being as the most sought ones for many people in addition to aesthetic dental care. Hungary is the place where you can find skilled dentistry infrastructure with highly qualified dentists at reasonable rates.

Most of the dentists in Implant Centre Budapest are internationally accredited and qualified to perform top-quality treatments. Those patients who are afraid of dentists or have dental phobia can have dental care under general anesthesia.

Types of dental implants in Hungary

Hungary is becoming known as the queen of implant based teeth replacements. Are you not sure about going abroad for dental implants? Take your time and read everything about oral implants in Budapest and study the price list in Budapest.

Traditional, single implant (screw)

This treatment is done to replace one or more missing teeth with an artificial tooth, that is a dental implant providing the same function as a real tooth. A single screw is not enough to replace the lost tooth you must have an abutment and a crown fitted for the complete tooth replacement.

Implant supported bridge

An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration that replaces a couple of  missing teeth in a row. Implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone at the ends of the gap. It provides stable support and functionality, restoring the ability to chew and speak comfortably. The bridge is fitted on the posts.

It can be fitted on two or more screws.

Complete arch solutions

This is a specialized treatment for those patients who miss all teeth in the arch. The method of this treatment is place only the 4 necessary implants instead of replacing every single missing tooth.

It can be managed by 6 screws as well, which provides a more stable solution. You can go with the 4 implant method to save money on treatment cost at our Implant Centre Budapest. With the 4 screw version placement of implants is possible without bone grafting and sinus lift, so costs can be kept low. The 6 post version may require bone augmentation and it makes the healing period longer, but this is the price of higher stability.

The All-on complete bridge can have either zirconium or porcelain-fused-to-metal teeth. If it is needed pink porcelain artificial gums are added for the aesthetic look. The main purpose of ut to make teeth less tall as the artificial gums cover them partly at the gum region. On the top of the teeth, there are the abutments that are the connecting items between the teeth and the implant screws. The number of abutments equals the number of implant screws in the jaw.

Hungary teeth implants – How long you have to stay in Budapest in case you need teeth replacements

Our patients usually ask how many times they have to come to Budapest if they need teeth replacement treatments with implants.

To get implant posts placed, on average two visits are needed. In the first visit 2 or 3 days must be spent in Hungary, when our dentists put in place the screws. After a period of 3-6 month healing time, you need to travel again, and will receive the abutments and crowns.

This visit to Budapest requires 4-7 days, depending on the number of crowns and implants. If you need a bone graft or sinus lift, one can imagine that an additional visit is required prior to the placement of implants, so in this case, 3 visits are planned in Hungary.

Implant Centre Budapest the most up-to-date solutions if you have missing teeth

Implants, typically made of pure titanium, are biologically and chemically compatible with the human body, ensuring successful and long-lasting integration. These artificial tooth roots are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

With a track record of over 20 years in medical use, titanium implants are a trustworthy solution for their durability and lack of allergic reactions. They fuse seamlessly with the jawbone, offering a reliable solution for tooth loss that can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene.

Comprising a screw, abutment, and crown, the tooth replacement offers a comprehensive solution for single-tooth or multiple-tooth replacements, catering to various degrees of tooth loss.

If you have no teeth: You not only lost your teeth but also the joy of real and natural smiling, talking and eating. Moreover with no teeth you look much older than your real age. It has a negative impact on all areas of your live. The implant based overdentures or complete bridges bring an indefinable positive turn in your life.

If you only miss a few teeth: You protect adjacent teeth with an implant placed in the tooth gap. It is a big advantage since other teeth does not need to be ground down, they can be healthy and intact. It is a very important fact for patients.

• Extremely aesthetic prosthetics and teeth replacements can be made by this method.
• There is no need to grind down adjacent teeth for replacement, there is no need to lose additional tooth material.
• It is a durable, decades-old in many cases lifetime solution.
• It helps restore the original function of the tooth, chewing will be natural again.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 techniques – Implant Centre Budapest

Modern dentistry offers new opportunities and with the appearance of teeth posts so the circle of possibilities are extended. The so-called All-on-4 or All-on-6 methods solutions meant a kind of salvation, because despite all the advantages, the removable prostheses were unpleasant, uncomfortable to wear for many patients.

The All-on-4 technique can be applied to patients who have lost molar teeth and do not have sufficient jaw bone to place implants to the place of lost molars, but the amount of jaw bone is still sufficient for the front teeth implantation. In this case, the oral surgeon places the implants with a special technique to the front region: the two middle ones straight and the other two slightly slanted. For the healing phase, a perfectly functioning fixed prosthesis is made.

The All-on-6 technique is based on the same principle, but in this case the denture is not on 4 but 6 artificial roots for greater stability; so this solution can be applied in cases when a greater amount of jaw bone is available, or it can be substituted in certain cases with bone grafting.

After the healing period of 3-6 months the first step will be to expose the implants and placing healing screws in the dental implants to form the gums.  The dental laboratory makes the fixed prosthesis based on this impression that is placed by the dentist on the artificial roots. The denture consists of 12 or 14 teeth, that are stable and durable enough so that it serves its owner in the long term.

The overdentures give a beautiful and aesthetic smile to the patient and his quality of life is improved significantly, still he/she does not have to worry that the new denture has a negative impact on chewing or speaking. The aim of the All-on-4 and All-on-6 solutions is to achieve the best effect in patients with tooth loss, who can be self-confident and happy again. At our dental all types of implant treatments can be performed.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 dentures in Hungary – Implant Centre Budapest

Foreign patients, including those from English, Irish, and other countries, often seek All-on-4 or All-on-6 dentures when they have very few or no salvageable teeth. Many opt to travel to our Implant Center in Budapest, for comprehensive dental work.

The All-on-4 solution is ideal for fully toothless mouths, requiring a minimum of 4 implant screws per jaw, though 5 or 6 may enhance stability. Additional screws improve chewing, biting, and speaking capabilities, resembling natural teeth more closely.

Initially developed by Nobel for patients with bone deficiencies, this solution places implants strategically in the front teeth and premolar areas. Depending on the case, extra screws may be recommended, potentially necessitating a sinus lift for optimal stability.

Two basic types of All-on-4 dentures exist: Fixed dentures  which is only removable by a dentist, and the other one is the snap on version which is removable by the patient for cleaning every day. In both cases patients can customize the denture’s color, size, and tooth shape, with 12 teeth per jaw.

All-on-4 hybrid denture

In this case, the denture is made of plastic is placed on a metal frame. The artificial gum that is attached to the denture is also made of plastic.

All-on-4 metallic denture with ceramic cover

In this type of solution, the artificial gum is made of pink porcelain and the porcelain teeth are held by a metal frame.

All-on-4 zircon denture with ceramic cover

In this type of solution, the artificial gum is made of pink porcelain. The zircon teeth are held by a zircon frame. This denture is the most aesthetic type. Porcelain teeth do not discolor as easily as plastic teeth, so this denture is the most beautiful and durable.

All-on-4 overdenture on implant bar – snap on version

This is the solution that the patient can take out and clean  himself. This type of denture should be taken out two to three times a day and thoroughly cleaned.

Patients at our implant centre in Budapest often ask if there are any restrictions on food consumption after the new All-on-4 denture is finalized. There are no restrictions, they can consume anything from day one, so hard, crispy… etc. However, some habituation time should be expected. This varies from 1-2 weeks to 1-2 months per patient.

Bridges or implants

Before visiting Budapest for dental care, it’s essential to consider your options. If you’re missing one or two teeth in a row, you may debate between teeth implants or a three or four-unit bridge. Implants offer advantages as adjacent teeth remain untouched, unlike bridges where healthy teeth need filing, compromising their integrity.

However, there are scenarios where bridges might be preferred over implants:

• If you are a stressful person and grind your teeth over the night. This is not good for your teeth implants. If you still prefer implants night guards should be worn.
• If you have immune system diseases.
• If you suffer from cancer of any type.
• If you have serious bite disorders.
• If you smoke. It is true that smoking is not grounds for refusal, but can decrease the chances of successful placement.

Teeth fixtures are beneficial in the following cases

• It is not needed to file down the teeth next to the dental implant. (If a tooth is filed down 40-60% of the tooth is lost.)
• If you do not want to wear dentures or it is uncomfortable for you then teeth implants are definitely recommended to you.
• The condition of your current teeth does not make it possible to place bridge pillars on them.
• If you want to bite as hard as you did with your natural teeth.
• If you want to have a perfect smile. Because teeth implants look like real teeth.
• If you do not want bad breath. Because food leftovers might stick under the abutment tooth of the bridge and it can not be taken out from there. This problem may result in bad breath.

As you age, dental issues may lead to tooth loss and jaw bone thinning. This can cause your cheeks to appear thinner and sunken as you get older. The result is that you look older than your real age. Teeth implants combined with bone grafting can effectively halt this process.

Implant Centre Budapest, Hungary – Let us see the benefits of dental implants in detail:

1. Dental implants help you have a healthy jawbone

It is a common mistake that after loosing your tooth you wait for years before seeing your dentist again. This can lead jaw bone deterioration, because jaw bones need constant stimulation to keep their size and density. This stimulation is provided by chewing. While chewing there is a force on jaw bone but when this force ceases as a result of tooth loss your jawbone begins to deteriorate. This is why it is very important to see your dentist as soon as possible after you lost your tooth. Please, note, that in some cases a three month healing time is needed after tooth extractions to place a new dental implant.

1. Dental implants rejuvenate you
   

At a young age when all your teeth and jawbone are in place develops your individual face feature. But when one or more teeth are lost the structure of your face begins to change because bone structure changes under the face. Dental implants are perfect solutions against this problem because it prevents jawbone deterioration and deformation and with teeth implants your face shape can recover. And if you can smile with no problem you will be as confident as you were before.

1. Dental implants work better than a traditional denture

Besides dental implants are more durable than traditional dentures they are more comfortable to wear. They improve the quality of life dental patients right away.

1. You can speak more clearly with teeth implants

Elderly people often choose partly or fully removable dentures. However it turns out soon that they are not happy with it, because sometimes it is hard to speak with dentures as they can move in the mouth and go loose or wobbly. As dental implants work like original teeth these problems can be eliminated.

1. Dental implants help maintain facial muscle tone

As we have loads of muscles on the face there is a close connection in between face muscles and cheek bones. After loosing your teeth the process of jaw bone deterioration affects the work of face muscles. As there is no constant stimulation to facial muscles, so the size and the tension of muscles gradually changes resulting in changing your lineament.

1. Teeth implants provide long term solutions

More than 90% of dental implants work perfectly for more than 20 years. In contrast, dental bridges must be changed in 8 years due to decay and wear. These days dental implants have the longest possible lifetime compared to other dental solutions.

1. Dental implants prevent locomotion of teeth and bite disorders

Originally every teeth has its own function, but when we loose one or more teeth, your remaining teeth must provide more functions. Your remaining teeth might be rearranged due to lack of force and stimulation by the area with no teeth. This might lead to bite disorders or it might cause more tooth loss.

1. Dental implants help in pressure sensing

While chewing teeth press jawbone that makes it possible for us to detect precisely. But when we lose a tooth that part is not stimulated at all. This is why while chewing you do not feel that given part of your jaw that is uncomfortable. Dental implants solve this problem as well because they work as real teeth and press the jaw what gives you the feeling of natural chewing.

1. Dental implants make your smile brilliant

As we all know a smile is worth a thousand words so if you can not smile you can miss many beautiful moments. It is very uncomfortable and you can live through very unpleasant moments if you can not smile. Therefore, dental implants are in addition to the preservation of health can help you regain self-confidence.

Implant Centre Budapest – Benefits of screws in detail:

How to minimize dental implant failure rates?

During dental implantation a screw is placed in the jaw. The material of the screw is either titanium or titanium alloy that stimulates jaw bone to grow around the implant. To get better results the surface of the screw is specially designed. It takes 3-6 months for the jawbone to grow around the dental implant and by the end of the process the screw is as stable in the jaw as your real teeth.

If the jawbone is weak or structurally damaged, the oral surgeon may suggest a variety of bone grafting procedures by which appropriate quality and quantity of bone can be made. Unfortunately, it is rarely possible that the dental implant specialists will not advise dental implantation.

Therefore, it is important that the implantologist gets an accurate picture of the state of the bone. Before any dental implant treatment a 3D scan is made, as two-dimensional panoramic x-rays can not provide 100% accurate information about the condition of the bone tissue, density, texture, etc. for such a surgery.

If cutting-edge materials and advanced dental technology is used by highly qualified dental implant specialists then it is highly possible that implantation will be successful. However 100% success can not be guaranteed! Just like in any other field of medicine the human body can produce sometimes unpredictable reactions in dentistry as well.

Implant centre Budapest  – dental treatment prices

It is obvious that top quality brands are much cheaper in Budapest than in USA. If you get your implants in your own country the dentist prices of a basic full tooth replacement, that includes a dental implant, an abutment and a crown are about 1950 – 3500USD depending on the region of the country and the implant and crown you choose.

Additional costs like sinus lift and bone grafting materials are not included in this price. It is worth knowing that the price of bone grafting material is more expensive than gold gram to gram.

Single implant prices

If you choose our implant centre Budapest for treatment you will be amazed at how low prices you will be charged for a single implant. Our clinic only works high quality brands that come with lifetime warranty. The price of a single Alpha Bio implant post is 490USD and a Nobel Biocare Replace implant costs 860USD and a Straumann post costs 720USD.

If you load these implants, that is you receive an abutment and and a porcelain fused to metal crown you pay an additional 590USD. So, the total price of an implant based tooth replacement with Alpha-Bio in Budapest is as low as 1,100USD, this is why not rarely patients fly to Budapest for a single implant. It is true this price above excludes travel and accommodation costs, but in case of a more extensive work you can still save on Budapest dental care.

If you prefer a zirconium crown to your Straumann implant, which is the no. 1. brand in the world of dentistry then the total cost of for one tooth with a zirconium crown is as low as 1,355USD in Budapest.

Before your implant is loaded, that is an abutment and a crown is placed a 3-6 month healing time is needed for the implant, this is why it takes two visits in Budapest.
But if you not only need a single implant but more teeth need to be replaced maybe a whole arch the total costs can escalate up to 25,000 – 37,000USD in North America.

On the grounds of prices above it is clear, that it is a deal to fly to get dental implants in Budapest. But how much can you save if you need a full mouth restoration when you have a couple or no teeth at all? When you only have a couple of teeth left it is not worth saving them, but it is better to get them extracted. After extractions it is advised to a get fix implant supported complete bridge or denture called All-on-6 and All-on-4. Let’s see treatment prices in detail for implant procedures.

All-on-4 costs

If you wear a prothesis which you are unsatisfied with, your chewing ability can be restored by the placement of All-on-4 procedures. Generally neither bone grafting nor sinus lift list is needed so the total costs in 99% of the cases will not be increased with those surgeries. So no surprise costs.

If you want an All-on-4 for one arch, then it only costs 5,770USD with Neodent implants and porcelain-fused-to-metal teeth. The same srructure for one arc with Straumann implants and zirconium teeth is available from 7,400USD.

All-on-6 costs

All on 6 solutions are rather used in the upper arch since it is more important to have stronger chewing ability there than in the lower jaw. The cost of an All-on-6 solution with a 12 unit complete bridge for one arch is 7,300USD with Neodent teeth screws and porcelain-fused-to-metal complete bridge.

If you want a top quality of All-on-6, then you will have it with zirconium teeth and Strauman implant screws. The price of dental implant cost is 9,700USD.

All on 6 solutions are rather used in the upper arch since it is more important to have stronger chewing ability there than in the lower jaw.  If you opt for All-on-6 and All-on-4 solutions then you should calculate with higher accommodation costs as the second visit of your treatment will be longer in Budapest.

If you only need to replace one or more teeth gaps and you need single implants or 3-5 unit implant retained bridges then you should spend only 6-8 days in Budapest (visit 1. 3days + visit 2. 3 to 5 days). But if you need an all on 6 solution then you should spend 13-15 days in Budapest (visit 1. 3days + visit 2. 10 to 12 days).

If you get All-on-6 procedure then you might need additional treatments like sinus lift  and  bone grafting in the upper jaw that changes the price of treatment. It might change travel and accommodation costs as well as it is not sure that sinus lift and bone grafting can be carried out along with the placement of the screw so an additional visit may be needed.

Please, note, all prices above are only for information. If you send us a panoramic x-ray or you attend a free consultation you can have a tailor-made quotation. Prices above do not include the cost of a 3d scan, that is 100USD independent of the number of implants you will need.

Full mouth teeth replacement costs in the USA

As general infromation full mouth implant based replacements top and bottom in the United States are available from 60,000USD. Knowing this price difference Budapest offer an attractive option for implant based smile makeover.

Time saving, inexpensive new method

The All-on-4 dental implants procedure is different in several respects to traditional dental implantation. You can save up to 30% on costs. The reason for the price difference among other things is, that no need of bone augmentation procedure at the back teeth.

It is important to get professional dental technical background
It is important to know that for the success of dental restoration works there is a significant role of dental labs not only oral surgeons.

Bridges costs which are an alternative to implants

An alternative to dental implants is bridges. If your teeth adjacent to the tooth gap are healthy then these teeth can act as pillars for the bridge. If you only need to bridge one tooth gap then it can be solved with a 3 item bridge, that is 3 crowns bonded. The price of a 3 item porcelain fused to metal bridge is lower than the cost of a single implant based tooth replacement as it is 3*270USD, that is 810USD and you do not need two visits to Budapest unlike in case of implants. Bridges can be made of 4 or even 5 items, so two or three missing teeth can be bridged.

If you miss one or more front teeth then these can be bridged with CAD/CAM zirconium crowns. The unit price of zirconium crowns is 400USD. So, if you need to bridge one tooth gap the price of a 3 item zirconium bridge, which is 990USD is lower than dental implants prices with zirconium crown on top. If you prefer bridges then one visit is enough. However, bridges do not provide lifetime solutions as they wore in 5-15 years, but dental implants usually last lifetime.

Some interesting facts about dental implants

Implant screws are one of the most up to date and most efficient means of prosthetic art. It provides numerous advantages not only for aesthetics but for health and comfort as well. But as usual, in parallel with the increasing popularity of placement of dental implants, the number of misconceptions have spread in public mind discouraging some patients from treatment. Below you can read the five most common misconceptions!

Is placement of implants painful?

Placement of dental implants requires oral surgery, so pain indeed occurs, but this is not as bad as we think at first sight. Most patients report that the procedure is not worse than a simple tooth extraction. Thanks to the intervention of local anesthesia treatment itself is almost completely pain-free.

Upon request general anaesthesia is also possible at an extra cost.

For post-procedure discomfort and pain relief some medication is sufficient. Recovery is fast and the next day after check-up dental tourism patients can fly home and return to work. However, each case is different so reactions to interventions and healing time can vary person to person.

This is the best solution for our dental surgeon who already has a lot of international experience in this field.

One or two teeth should not be replaced

The lack of one tooth can upset the balance of dentition. A tooth next to the tooth gap might tilt toward the gap that over time will lead to tooth loss because of the wrong-way load. The tooth opposite the tooth gap due to lack of contact at the opposite side gradually emerges (grows). For this reason, over time this tooth grows towards the place of the missing tooth and gets too big and loose.

In other cases, upper and lower teeth can not be properly closed due to small gaps formed after tooth loss. Our dental implant clinic recommends that every missing tooth should be replaced within 3-6 months.

Making of crowns and bridges are more practical solutions than implants

The advantages of dental implants over traditional tooth replacement techniques are:

By placement of implants it can be avoided that healthy tooth material is removed.

It is not necessary to get neighboring teeth filed down when preparing a bridge.

Many people are reluctant to wear removable dentures. For them a fixed denture is the solution.

The success rate of implant surgery at our clinic in Budapest is 99,5%.

What is the dental implant made of?

The implants are made of pure titanium-alloy.

Titanium’s unique biological properties enable it to integrate with bone tissue, making it fully accepted by the body with very rare allergic reactions reported. Over the last few decades, titanium has been extensively used in medical procedures, including dental implantation, without causing harm to the body.

The success rate of titanium implants worldwide exceeds 96%, with millions of implants placed. Due to its high quality, titanium dental implants are increasingly popular. When implanted using proper techniques and treatment, titanium screws can last a lifetime.

Why is it worth having a full set teeth?

Worldwide, many people have incomplete sets of teeth, often prioritizing spending on electronic gadgets over dental health. However, missing teeth can cause various problems beyond aesthetics, affecting speech clarity and perception of personal care.

Moreover, untreated tooth loss may contribute to conditions like Alzheimer’s disease or memory impairment, while allowing surrounding teeth to shift, complicating future replacement. All-on-4 fixed prostheses offer a solution for toothless jaws, involving tooth removal and implant insertion, followed by denture placement after a few months of healing.

Another consequence of missing teeth is jawbone deterioration, which affects facial structure and can make individuals appear older. While dentures and bridges may provide temporary solutions, dental implants not only restore chewing function but also integrate with the jawbone, promoting its growth and preserving facial appearance.

Bridge vs. dental implant?

Implantation is a way of replacing lost teeth. For a traditional bridge two or more pillars are needed to bridge the tooth gap. In case of implantation, there is no need for such a thing, because to hold a crown a screw-shaped titanium implant is inserted. Let us see the details of the oral surgical procedure.

Of course, there are situations when a traditional bridge replacement is the right choice, especially if the implantation is not advised. This could be:

• Immune system disorders
• Blood disorders
• Certain chronic diseases
• Untreated diabetes
• Poor oral hygiene
• Severe bite disorders
• Cancer

Relative contraindications include smoking, which is not a reason for exclusion, but it can reduce the chances of success.
If there is no exclusion criteria, the implant has several advantages:

• It is not needed to file down neighboring healthy teeth. Filing down involves loss of healthy bone material although there is a variety of techniques causing different degrees of loss. Today if common zirconium crowns are placed often 40-60% of the tooth material will be filed down.
• If you replace a missing tooth with a bridge food leftovers might remain underneath. If it is not professionally cleaned, it can cause bad breath.
• If you do not want to wear removable dentures or find the existing prosthesis uncomfortable there is a solution for you. If the existing teeth no longer make it possible the preparation of fixed bridges, placement of implants can help avoid a removable prosthesis.

Steps of placement of implants

Prior to implantation

After a medical examination it is required a thorough oral hygienic treatment like tartar and plaque etc. removal. Later digital x-rays and three-dimensional CT scans are used for making an accurate quotation.

A three dimensional CT scan shows more than a dental X-ray. The 3D scan images can be sliced and every single detail in the jawbone can be measured separately millimeter by millimeter. Before the patient accepts the treatment plan he receives comprehensive information on all treatment options and potential risks.

The implantation procedure

Although implantation is a surgery it is still a gentle dental surgical procedure that is done under local anesthesia. Upon request general anaesthesia is also available. First the oral surgeon gently pushes the gum aside and then marks the planned location of the screw in the jaw (single or multiple implantation is possible). The drilling carried out by a special device, which has adjustable parameters, and causes a slight vibrating sensation.

The diameter of the pure titanium screw is larger than the diameter of the hole so it can easily and securely be screwed into the bone. If additional bone replacement could be needed to replace the missing jaw bone.

The duration of the operation depends on the number of implants to be inserted or other complicating conditions. It happens that it only takes ten minutes and sometimes it can take up to three hours. After the titanium screw is inserted the implant is sutured over the gums. In the period of two to three days after implantation your face may be swollen, and rarely can experience pain.

One week after the operation stitches can be removed, if necessary, however the our Budapest Implant Centre uses absorbable stitches, so you do not have to see your local dentist, stitches will disappear. 3 days after the surgery you can wear your temporary denture.

What dental implant brands does our clinic apply?

Our Budapest dentists only provide the best quality treatment to its valued patients, so we apply high quality dental screws. Our dentists place Alpha Bio and Nobel Biocare and Replace and Starumann implants.

• All brands are of top and medium quality. Lifetime guarantee (only material) comes with them.
• All implant systems are bio-compatible, made of titanium, so patients suffering from metal allergy can even have it.

The Swiss-owned company is headquartered in Basel and has been manufacturing and developing dental instruments since 1974. It has a total of 6 factory units in Europe and the USA. Like Nobel, it is  widespread worldwide, with dentists working in more than 70 countries, including Hungary.

By 2017, dentists implanted a total of more than 17 million implant screws of Straumann. Straumann dental implants represent the same quality among implants as the Ferrari, the absolute top category, among cars.

Straumann dental implants

Straumann implants are constantly being clinically tested and developed, with an average of 100 scientific articles published each year about their results and developments.

Two main types of implants are manufactured, which are bone level and gum level types.

Thanks to the implants’ special screwing solutions, the implant can be inserted immediately after tooth extraction, and in some cases it can be loaded a few weeks atfer extraction. Loading of an implant is the process when  crowns are fitted so tooth replacement is completed.

If these implants are used for an All-on-4 solution, the implant can be loaded immediately after placement, meaning the denture will be attached to the implants right away!

The special material on the surface of the implant screw helps the bone cells to grow and thus the screw to be incorporated as soon as possible. However, due to the special material, if the implant has been removed from the sterile package, it must be implanted within 30 minutes.

The special 4mm long implant screw  connects to the bones so stable and tight that teeth replacements can be ensured even without bone replacement in the case of bone-deficient jaws. It makes treatments less invasive in lots of cases.

Around the gums, like the Nobel implants, it provides a very aesthetic connection. Therefore, for even more perfect and aesthetic appearance, zircon crowns are often recommended by dentists for this type of screws.

Nobel Biocare dental implants

Nobel Biocare is identified as the world’s number one and most respected manufacturer and distributor. You can be sure that implants inserted in your jaw had decades of research and development work, this is why the ratio of complaints regarding Nobel Biocare implants is practically zero.

Alpha Bio dental implants

The company’s stable background is provided by the Nobel Biocare company, the world’s leading manufacturer as Alpha Bio was bought by Nobel in 2008.

The Alpha-Bio implant family has many different length and diameter screws so dentists can choose the ideal size in every position. Due to their shape, good stability can be achieved immediately after the removal of the teeth, so there is not always needed healing time after extractions. The average healing time is case-specific, usually 10 to 12 weeks.

Alpha Bio implants naturally incorporate into the jaw bone with short healing time, their insertion is fast and free of complication, and they provide long-term durability.
This type of implant ensures high stability, high quality and last but not least cost-effective.

Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Alpha Bio are the implant brands that our dentists in Budapest place in your jaw. But if you have other implant brands in your mouth like Dio or Zimmer or others we need all information about your implants if you want our dental practice to treat those implants like loading them, or changing crowns.

It is needed, because each implant brand has its own dental tools, they are not compatible with each other. You can have all information about the implants in the implant passport you received from the clinic where your screws were inserted. If the implant passport is not available, then, please, contact your dental for information.

Screw retained vs. cement retained crowns on implants

The abutment and the crown/bridge can be fitted to the implant in two ways. One solution is screwing, while the other is gluing with cement.

In the case of the screw-retained solution, the abutment and the final crown or bridge are assembled by the dental technician. Thus, in the case of screw-retained crown the tooth replacement practically consists of two components: implant/screw and an abutment and crown which is put together.

In the case of cement-retained solution, an intermediate piece, an abutment in between screw and crown is screwed to the implant and the crown is cemented to the abutment. In this procedure, the tooth replacement is made up of three components: implant/screw, abutment and cemented crown or bridge.

Advantage of screw-retained crowns on implants

The advantage of screw-retained procedure is that it provides a soluble connection between the implant and the crown or bridge.

The importance of this is to make it easier for the dental professional to clean it every six months. Those parts of the tooth replacement that come into direct contact with the gums, are more difficult to be accessed for everyday dental care. As a result of it plaque and tartar adheres to these areas.

Cleaning of this area is much simpler after  unscrewing and removing the abutment and crown which is assembled. However this cleaning and removal process is only possible in a dental office by a dentist. After cleaning the crown with abutment is screwed back onto the implants.

Another advantageous feature is that, if additional tooth replacement is needed as a result of further tooth loss, screw-retained solution can be easily converted by unscrewing the existing old crown/bridge and then insert a new extended bridge.

The ability to unscrew and then screw back the crown offers the possibility of professional cleaning, as no adhesive remains between the gums and the implant, as opposed to adhesive cement-retained fastening.

Fastening with screws will also provide any possible correction needs, as it can be easily unscrewed and re-fixed.

Clinical studies prove, that in the long-run screw-retained solutions show significantly less complications.

The only drawback of a screw-retained crown solution compared to a cemented solution is that it is not as aesthetic as the cemented solution. Although this aesthetic issue is more likely to occur on bridges than on solo crowns. Considering the fact that most of the dental implant is required in the molar region, this disadvantage is negligible.

How to pay for dental work?

Most of the dental clinics in Hungary are specialized in providing high-quality implant treatments. Dental implant treatment costs in Hungary will differ from clinic to clinic based on the implant type and the warranty period.

You can pay for your treatment by cash, bank card, or bank transfer. Be aware of the fact that bank transfers and payments by bank cards will have additional costs on your accounts, but the amount depends on the policy of your own bank. Also, if you pay by bank card, make sure that there is enough funds in your account and the payment limit set will also make payment possible.

It is worth investigating possible ways of payments of clinics so that you could pick the one that suits you the most as complex treatments like  placement of dental implants in Hungary can cost  a lot and bank costs may also be significant.

Additional saving option is that private health insurances provide reimbursement after extensive dental care like crowns, bridges or dental implants in Hungary.
