Laser implantation

Laser tooth implantation - The latest trend in modern implantology, which has been recognized by dentists and patients.

Laser implantation allows you to get an excellent functional and cosmetic result.

Classical implantation is carried out in two stages: first, the gum is cut, the implant is inserted into the bone, and the gum is sutured. A few months after implant engraftment, a denture is installed.

The surgical stage is painless, but the postoperative period can deliver a significant amount of discomfort.

To eliminate unpleasant postoperative moments, the method of laser dental implantation is used. In the process of implantation, a laser beam is used.

The use of a laser provides comfort and quality of implantation.

Benefits

Laser implantation has several advantages:

• Due to the effect of photocoagulation during laser implantation, the operation is bloodless, which allows better access to the surgical field and eliminates the possibility of bleeding in the postoperative period.
• Contactless operation ensures sterility. This property of the laser avoids complications in the postoperative period.
• Thanks to the bactericidal effect of the laser, wound healing takes place 2–3 times faster than with traditional implantation.
• Reducing the duration of surgery. Duration of implantation is from 15 to 30 minutes.
• There is the possibility of limited use of painkillers, thereby providing a more gentle treatment.
• Solves aesthetic problems. The use of a laser reduces the likelihood of necrosis and displacement of the edges of soft tissues.
• A more comfortable course of the postoperative period, in comparison with classical implantation. Regeneration of soft tissues proceeds more easily; complications and side effects are less commonly observed.
• Reducing the volume of soft tissues undergoing surgical treatment due to a more accurate effect on the surgical field,
• Decrease in probability of implant rejection.
• A patient's comfortable state during the operation, due to a reduction in implantation time and the absence of heavy bleeding.

How is

• Laser tooth implantation is performed under local anesthesia. At the first surgical stage, a gum mucosa is cut using a laser beam.
• Then, an implant is implanted in the jawbone with the help of a physical dispenser.
• The mucous membrane is sutured.
• For the time of implant engraftment, temporary prostheses made of plastic are installed.
• The second stage of the operation is also carried out using a laser beam that allows you to open the implant and install the healing abutment.
• A permanent structure is installed in place of the temporary denture.

Postoperative period

• The next day, the patient may feel some soreness, reminiscent of the sensation after tooth extraction. When taking conventional painkillers, the condition improves.
• Slight swelling may be present, which also passes quickly.

Thus, laser implantation of the teeth allows the operation as comfortable as possible not only for the doctor, but also for the patient, as well as to provide better and faster healing.

When do

• Laser implantation has the same indications and contraindications as traditional implantation.
• There are no separate contraindications to the use of laser implantation. Before the operation, the implantologist focuses on the main list of contraindications for implantation.
• If the patient's history indicates the presence of an allergic reaction and intolerance to certain drugs, then the use of laser implantation is preferred.

If we talk about the safety of the laser beam itself, then it does not have a negative effect on the human body. When using a laser, special goggles are required from the doctor and patient.

Prices

Laser tooth implantation is an expensive procedure, the price of which, in comparison with the classical one, is higher. The advantages of this technique are quite sufficient, therefore, the costs of its implementation more than pay off.
The cost of the operation is due to the use of expensive equipment, the cost of training specialists, the qualifications of a dentist, and the status of the clinic. The final cost of implantation is also influenced by the choice of implants to be installed.

Reviews

The use of laser implantation has conflicting reviews from dentists.

Some doctors believe that the advent of laser technology greatly facilitates the surgical phase of the operation, and also minimizes the number of complications.

Other experts say that using a laser beam is no different than using a scalpel during surgery.

Despite the conflicting opinions on the part of doctors, the patient reviews about laser implantation are mostly positive, which confirms the advantages of this technology, but the specialist’s qualification does not play the last role.

• I got three implants. Installation of implants was carried out using a laser beam. I didn’t feel the pain. They performed the operation very quickly, in about half an hour. I felt good after the operation. The first day I drank painkillers. On the second day there was a slight swelling. The implant engraftment lasted three months, after which permanent crowns were installed.
• Installed four implants on the lower jaw. The incisions were made using a laser. The operation did not last long, and did not feel pain. After the operation, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed. The next day there was no pain or swelling on the face.
• A month ago, they installed six implants. The operation lasted about forty minutes. Laser implantation is not painful at all, because did anesthesia. Numb half the face. The disadvantage is that you had to keep your mouth open for a long time. But nothing, nothing happened. At night I drank painkillers. The next day the pain went away. I can’t wait for the implants to take root.
