About available treatments
Our recommended dentists carry out all forms of dentistry but find most people travel to Croatia for dental implants and/or cosmetic dentistry such as crowns, bridgework, veneers and tooth whitening.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. The implant is placed in the upper or lower jaw. It will bond with the bone over time and thus serve as an anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth.
With more than three decades of clinical experience and over a million patients treated, crowns and bridges supported by implants are highly successful. Statistics confirm a success rate of 90 per cent for individual implants - even higher for the bridges they support.
The placement of dental implants involves a straightforward procedure usually carried out under local anaesthetic. Many patients are suitable candidates for dental implants and the results provide the patient with the nearest alternative to their natural tooth or teeth that can look aesthetically superb and provide complete confidence when biting, chewing and laughing.
Fees
The fee, for example, for tooth replacement with dental implants will depend on several factors, including the number of teeth being replaced and the number of implants required to support your replacement teeth.
Some additional procedures may be required prior to the placement of your dental implants to ensure the long term health of your dental implants. Typically, there is a fee for the surgical procedure and a separate fee for attaching the posts and constructing your replacement teeth. To provide an accurate quotation, it is necessary to have a thorough diagnostic examination of your mouth after which your dentist will recommend the treatment that is best for you.
The cost reflects the quality of the implant components utilized, the skill and experience of the dentists carrying out the procedure and the quality of the dental laboratory used to manufacture the final crown.
