Currently, the most effective and reliable way to restore lost teeth is the installation of dental implants. Only a specialized dental clinic with modern equipment and highly professional staff can guarantee the quality of such a procedure.

Based on numerous reviews, institutions that can be trusted are identified. Below is a rating of dental implantation clinics in Minsk (Belarus).

№1 – Dentistry Viodent

TOP 10 best clinics are opened by Viodent dentistry. The institution has its own diagnostic and dental laboratory, as well as an X-ray room with a computed tomograph. During operations, the ROOTT implant from TRATE AG (Switzerland), which is the official partner of the clinic, is used. The staff includes experienced surgeons, therapists, and orthopedists who can provide dental surgery of any complexity.

The clinic provides the following services:

1. Classic implantation (excluding crown) – from 640 Belarusian rubles.
2. One-stage implantation of a basal implant with a crown – from 800 BYR.
3. Complex implantation (combination of 7-8 implants) – from 5700 BYR.
4. Installation of a metal-ceramic crown – from 220 BYR.
5. Installation of a clasp, chamber prosthesis – from 900 Belarusian rubles.
6. Installation of a locking prosthesis – from 920 BYR.
7. Composite veneer – from 165 BYN.
8. Complex dental therapy – 60-100 BYN.
9. Panoramic photograph of a tooth – 10 BYR.

The clinic guarantees high-quality treatment and reliable dental implantation. It is located at the address: Independence Avenue 185, office 26.

All-on-6 (4)

Treatment is carried out using the same classic implants, but they are installed at special angles, which eliminates the need for bone grafting. On the one hand, thanks to the special installation of implants, you can save on their quantity, but on the other hand, the use of special expensive multi-units is required, on which all the savings come to naught. We can mention the “micro-pump” effect, which is characteristic of classical implants and especially for this method of treatment, because the load increases with a decrease in the number of supports. Micropump is the circulation of microorganisms at the implant-bone interface, which leads to gum inflammation and undesirable consequences in the long term. Also, a decrease in the number of supports leads to a significant increase in overhanging elements into which food falls. It is worth mentioning that the bone should be wide enough, because conventional classical implants are used. Sometimes the implants are installed with insufficient force and the installation of zygomatic implants is required, which is a difficult and expensive procedure. Fixing the prosthesis with screws on one side is a plus; you can unscrew the prosthesis and perform any manipulations, but on the other hand it is a minus - the screw can unscrew and lead to negative consequences. Personally, I would still consider screw fixation to be an advantage, although there is constant debate among dentists on this matter.

No. 2 - 3rd city dentistry

The 3rd city dentistry (dental clinic) in Minsk receives a high rating for the quality of service. Here it is possible to provide almost all types of dental care (treatment, prosthetics, implantation). A quick and accurate diagnosis is provided by an X-ray machine and a radiovisiograph.

Dental implant design

A dental implant has two main parts:

– the implant itself – a titanium screw installed in the jaw during surgery,

– abutment , acting as a connecting link between the implant and the overlying crown or bridge; The abutment can be made of various materials - titanium, zirconium, mixtures thereof, as well as ceramics or plastic.

In order for the implant to become a full-fledged artificial tooth, a crown made of a material of the patient’s choice is placed on top of the abutment – ​​metal-ceramic or zirconium. If it is necessary to temporarily cover the implant with a crown, plastic crowns are used and then replaced.

How long can implants last?

Most manufacturers provide a lifetime warranty on their products. However, there are other circumstances in which the type of implant plays a secondary role. Service life depends on the following factors:

• the professionalism of the dental surgeon who performed the manipulation;
• individual reaction of the body to a foreign body;
• compliance with all rules of oral hygiene.

Most problems arise when patients stop following doctor's orders.

Treatment plan

For each patient, a treatment plan is established individually, after consultation.

Obvious advantages of implantation over traditional prosthetic methods:

• does not affect neighboring teeth (does not require grinding), the implant takes on the full load when chewing, unlike a bridge, in which the main load falls on the outer teeth covered with crowns
• reliability and longer service life of crowns (the appearance and functionality of the crown on the implant do not change over time, since the implant has an artificial “root”, is rigidly fixed in the bone tissue and is not subject to mobility)
• Possibility to avoid removable prosthetics
• aesthetics – dentures on implants in appearance, functions do not differ from natural teeth
• physiological

Preparation for surgery

To select the appropriate treatment method, the implantologist will need your x-rays in 3D format; you can take them in our clinic and receive a conclusion. SkyDent has new, updated equipment that allows you to get accurate results with minimal radiation exposure.

After a thorough diagnostic examination, it is necessary to correct all problems that are observed in the oral cavity: elimination of caries and inflammatory processes in the mouth. Next, orthopedic preparation is carried out, if necessary. It involves removing dentures and other structures that may interfere with the installation of a dental implant.

Particular attention is paid to professional prevention. Innovative technologies are being developed to restore tooth enamel. Customers may be interested in gift certificates.

Compression implantation

Many people also call it basal, although this is not entirely true. This type of dental restoration is carried out using compression implants. They have a root-like shape and are processed exactly like classic ones; they have an identical engraftment percentage of 98-99%. The implant and abutment are a one-piece structure, which significantly reduces the development of gum inflammation due to the absence of the “micro-pump” effect. Due to the large number of supports, the structure receives a large margin of safety and the number of flushing spaces is reduced. This technology is a leader among one-stage methods in terms of price/quality criteria. The disadvantages include high demands on the professionalism of doctors, because non-compliance with treatment protocols can lead to increased loss of implants (for example, if the orthopedic structure is fixed with soft cement, such as Mis crown set, or using a composite base of the prosthesis instead of a metal one).

Types of dental implants

Straumann implant

One of the most popular on the European market. The Swiss company has taken a leading position thanks to its amazing biocompatibility and convenience. Straumann implants are made from titanium and zirconium alloys, which undergo long-term specialized processing. The technologies used reduce the risk of reimplantation to 1-5% (the sample was carried out 9 years after installation of the implant).

The Straumann implant is ideal for immediate installation, as it begins to fuse with the surrounding tissue immediately after surgery. Complete engraftment occurs 2 months after installation.

Implant Nobel

Manufacturer: Sweden.

The most suitable implant for complex clinical cases. It provides high stabilization immediately after installation. Can be used in the following situations:

1. When the patient has too narrow interdental spaces. The implant can even be used for the front incisors, which was previously impossible.
2. When a high level of stability is required before engraftment, it is therefore actively used for immediate dental implantation. During surgery, the doctor can adjust the position of the implant.
3. It can be installed directly on the site of an extracted tooth or soft areas of bone.

As a result, you will get a reliable and aesthetic result. The price of the implant depends on the selected model.

M.I.S.

The quality of medical services in Israel is known throughout the world. Medical Implant System implants are no exception. In the MIS line you can choose an option for everyone. Including temporary implants for orthodontic treatment.

They are most actively used to restore one tooth, so when they are installed, neighboring teeth remain intact. Implants are suitable even for thinned bones that have been restored using the sinus lift method.

Megagen

Leader of the Korean market among manufacturers of dental implants. There are more than 2000 types that are suitable for any clinical situation. They are universal. If the patient has sufficient bone volume, then the installation is performed in a minimally invasive manner. This allows you to achieve maximum aesthetic results without complications for the patient.

The price of dental implantation depends on the chosen technique, accompanying procedures (sinus lift) and the cost of the selected implant.

Classic dental implantation in Belarus

One of the old but proven methods of treatment. Most often it is used according to two-stage treatment protocols, when 3-6 months pass between the surgical and orthopedic stages.

It can also be used in one-stage techniques, making temporary crowns immediately after surgery. By placing 12 implants on the jaw, you can achieve an almost identical imitation of your teeth, excluding the bridge-like parts of the prosthesis (under which food will not fall). The technique is widely used and well studied by dentists and dental technicians. According to various sources, it has a 97-99% success rate for implant engraftment. Often requires additional bone filling, which leads to higher costs and longer treatment times. Disadvantages include the “micro-pump” effect and the possible development of re-implantitis in the long term. Currently, to replace outdated Israeli implants with a hexagonal connection, modern conical classical implants are being actively introduced to reduce the implant-abutment connection and reduce inflammation.

Works of our doctors

To assess the possibilities of dental implantation in Minsk, you must first perform a high-quality 3D X-ray examination and come for a consultation with an implant surgeon or orthopedic dentist. When making an appointment with our surgeons, 3D tomography can be performed directly as part of a consultation appointment without an appointment.

How prices for prosthetics are determined

Why do people go to distant Belarus for dental prosthetics?

• Low prices allow you to get your teeth done faster in Belarus. This is very important, since delay in this matter is fraught with aggravation of the situation.
• The quality of installation of the prosthesis remains at a decent level.
• Service is comparable to the best European countries.
• Specialists from Belarusian clinics take good care of their reputation.

A dental tour for the purpose of dental prosthetics in Belarus itself requires significant financial investments. These include:

• Choosing the right dental clinic. Prices for prosthetics in Belarus are comparable to those in Zvenigorod. However, not all medical institutions in the neighboring country can offer Russians a favorable price list.
• Ticket prices to Belarus for dental prosthetics range from 5 to 23 thousand by plane, from 3,000 to 35,000 by train.
• The cost of a hotel room, a visit to which is necessary after an exhausting journey.
• Time costs. To get your teeth done in Belarus, you will have to suspend work activity, relationships with loved ones and put aside your immediate leisure plans. By plane, a dental tourist’s journey will take a couple of hours, by train – from 8 to 10.
• Repeat visits. Solving many dental problems requires drawing up a treatment plan and several visits to specialists. If you need to sequentially insert several teeth in Belarus, or carry out treatment in emergency situations, you will no longer be able to save money. Complications and sessions extended over time will completely absorb the difference in prices between Minsk and Moscow clinics.

You can avoid additional expenses for prosthetics in dentistry in Belarus if you do not choose a dental clinic at such a considerable distance from your locality. Difficult economic conditions are already greatly increasing the cost of dental services. This forces people to look for suitable prices for teeth in Belarus, where inserting them is not so convenient.
