Upper tooth implantation
This is the most effective method of restoring lost teeth in the upper jaw. Implantation allows you to restore the aesthetics of your smile, correct diction, and full chewing function of the jaw. The upper jaw has the following anatomical features:
- proximity to the maxillary sinuses
- lower bone density compared to the lower jaw
- increased aesthetic requirements in the smile zone
Therefore, upper tooth implantation requires particularly careful diagnosis and mandatory digital planning.
The implantologists at Club 32, a family dental clinic in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, have extensive experience in performing turnkey upper tooth implantation for patients of all ages. Our dental clinic has all the necessary diagnostic and surgical equipment for implantation and subsequent prosthetics.
We develop an individual treatment plan for each patient that fully corresponds to their clinical situation and wishes. This allows us to implant teeth in the most comfortable environment and achieve long-term treatment results. In addition, you can pay for upper tooth implantation in installments and without overpaying.
We offer:
- high-precision digital diagnostic equipment
- digital treatment planning
- implantation using a surgical template
- experienced implant surgeons
- proven implant brands
- implantation under sedation
Indications for upper tooth implantation
Implantation of upper teeth is indicated in the absence of one, several, or all teeth in the upper jaw. The main causes of loss are trauma, complicated caries, inflammatory processes, and destruction due to overload. The method is suitable for patients who want to restore their teeth without grinding down adjacent teeth, as is the case with bridge prostheses. Implantation is also recommended for congenital absence of tooth buds and when it is impossible to save a tooth after unsuccessful treatment.
In the smile zone, implantation helps restore the gum contour, support the soft tissues of the face, and prevent lip collapse.
Contraindications to upper tooth implantation
There are temporary and permanent restrictions on treatment. Temporary restrictions include acute inflammation in the oral cavity, severe gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as exacerbations of chronic diseases. After the condition has stabilized, upper teeth implantation can be performed.
Permanent contraindications include severe systemic diseases in the stage of decompensation, severe blood clotting disorders, and other conditions with high surgical risk.
Before implantation, surgeons assess the volume of the upper jawbone. If there is insufficient bone, a sinus lift or bone graft is required to create a reliable support for the implant. The decision on treatment is made after a comprehensive diagnosis, including CT and assessment of the condition of the maxillary sinuses.
The main stages of upper tooth implantation
Diagnosis and planning
The first stage includes a consultation, photo protocol, CT scan, and diagnosis of the condition of the gums and bone tissue. Based on the data obtained, the doctor assesses the possibility of implantation and determines the optimal position of the implant, taking into account the location of the future crown and smile line. At this stage, a surgical template is made — an individual navigation structure that allows the implant to be placed in a precisely calculated position in terms of depth and angle of inclination.
Bone tissue preparation (if necessary)
If there is insufficient bone volume, bone grafting is performed before implantation. Sometimes it is combined with implant placement, but in cases of severe atrophy, it is performed as a separate stage. Bone deficiency is more common in the upper jaw: after tooth extraction, it quickly decreases, and the bottom of the maxillary sinus descends, reducing the safe height for the implant.
In such cases, sinus lifting is used to increase the bone volume in the lateral sections of the upper jaw. The sinus mucosa is gently lifted and the space is filled with bone material, which eventually turns into the patient's own bone.
Closed sinus lifting is often performed simultaneously with implant placement. Open sinus lifting is performed through the lateral wall of the jaw in cases of severe atrophy, in which case implantation is postponed for several months.
Bone augmentation across the width and gum plastic surgery in the smile zone may also be required for implant stability and natural aesthetics.
Implant placement
The surgical stage is performed under local anesthesia. If the patient experiences increased anxiety or is simply afraid of surgical procedures, the implant can be installed under sedation.
A surgical template allows the implant to be placed with maximum precision, which is especially important for the correct formation of the gum contour and the natural position of the future tooth.
Healing period
Osseointegration (healing) of implants for the upper jaw takes 3-6 months. During this time, the patient is fitted with a temporary crown or gum former to create the correct soft tissue profile at the site of the future permanent crown.
Prosthetics
After the osseointegration period is complete, the orthopedist installs a permanent crown. Its shape, color, and transparency are selected individually so that the restored tooth looks natural and harmonizes with the adjacent teeth.
