Losing a tooth is not merely an aesthetic concern – it presents a challenge for your entire oral health. As smile architects at Warsaw Dental Academy, we treat dental implants as foundations that restore the joy of eating, speaking and laughing with confidence. Discover the journey towards your new smile, which we will complete together, step by step.
Imagine a building that requires solid foundations – a dental implant is a titanium post that replaces the natural tooth root. An implant restoration comprises three essential components: the titanium implant that integrates with the bone, an abutment and a prosthetic crown designed to look like your natural tooth. Titanium is biocompatible and well tolerated by the body, supporting a reliable healing and integration process.
By choosing dental implants, you select a solution that helps protect your jawbone against resorption. Unlike a traditional bridge, implant treatment does not require adjacent healthy teeth to be prepared. Implants are stable, durable and function much like natural teeth. Their benefits extend beyond appearance – they help preserve facial structure and protect the remaining teeth against excessive strain.
For patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, we offer an advanced solution. The All-on-4 and All-on-6 techniques make it possible to restore an entire dental arch using just four or six implants. Instead of a removable denture and adhesive, you receive a fixed restoration designed to look and function naturally. In suitable cases, a temporary fixed smile may be provided on the day of implant placement.
Every transformation at Warsaw Dental Academy begins with digital planning. We perform a CBCT scan, which allows us to examine your jawbone in three dimensions. This enables us to determine precisely where each implant should be positioned, making the procedure safer and more predictable. If there is insufficient bone, there is no need to worry. We provide advanced regenerative procedures, including guided bone regeneration (GBR) and sinus lift surgery, to create suitable conditions for your new smile.
Many patients worry about pain, but a single implant can usually be placed in approximately 30 minutes under local anaesthesia. The experience is often comparable to routine dental treatment. After the procedure, you will receive an implant passport and clear instructions on caring for the treatment area during osseointegration – the period when the implant integrates with the surrounding bone. This process usually takes between three and six months.
Once the implant has successfully integrated, it is time to fit the crown. At our clinic in Bemowo, we avoid uncomfortable traditional impressions by using the iTero intraoral scanner. It creates a precise digital model of your teeth, which is then sent to the dental laboratory. The result is a carefully fitted crown, bridge or implant-supported denture that complements the colour and shape of the rest of your smile.
We prioritise internationally recognised quality, which is why we use implant systems from Straumann, a Swiss leader in implant dentistry. This system provides dependable material quality and worldwide recognition, making it easier for dental professionals to identify and service the components wherever you may be. The exact warranty terms depend on the selected product and must be confirmed in your individual treatment documentation.
Implants cannot develop tooth decay, but the tissues surrounding them still require the same careful hygiene as natural teeth. Regular check-ups and professional dental hygiene appointments, usually every six months, are essential for long-term success. At Warsaw Dental Academy, we provide comprehensive support after the procedure. Your Patient Coordinator will remind you about upcoming appointments, helping your new smile remain healthy and secure for decades.
