In Hungary and especially in Budapest bone grafting techniques have developed at the same pace (if not faster) as in other places such as the UK. The same techniques are used in Budapest, Hungary as they are in the UK. There are many different bone grafting techniques ranging from patient sourced to the less aggressive synthetic bone grafting. The more intrusive but Gold Standard of bone grafting is where bone is harvested from a number of sources such as the hip, tibia, chin and posterior regions of the lower jaw. When you use your own bone to create new bone in another area of the mouth you will have to contend with the discomfort created by the donor site as well as the surgical site. Many people feel this is well worth any additional discomfort as your own bone is normally considered the 'gold standard'. For those who would prefer an easier, but slightly slower solution, there are other sources of bone specially prepared to make them safe for use in humans. All of these materials including your own bone, simply provide a scaffold into which new bone will grow and consolidate ready to receive dental implants a few months later.New bone can take anything from 4 to 6 months before it is ready to receive dental implants. Do not be in a hurry to move to the next stage. If you need a large volume of bone it will take longer to mature than a small amount. Each surgeon will have his or her preferred way of creating new bone. Many of them will also use a supplementary technique called 'guided tissue regeneration'. Using this technique slow moving bone cells are given time to fill a space by placing a barrier material between them and the fast moving cells of the soft tissues lining the mouth. When this technique was originally developed the barrier material had to be removed during a separate surgical stage a few months later. Whilst these original materials are still in use, it is now more common to use a 'resorbable barrier' that will disappear naturally a few months after it has done its work.

Dental Implants are used as a permanent replacement for missing teeth. Titanium screws are embeded in the jaw at a depth identical to that of normal roots. Over the next 2-3 months a bone tissue bonds to the specially prepared surface of the implant. In the UK the cost of implant placing can sometimes exceed £2000 excluding all but the wealthiest of patients. In Hungary it is possible to complete the proceedure for less than £500.
Dental Implantology has recently fully come of age after at least three
decades of clinical trials. It has finally become fully accepted by a previously sceptical scientific community. Today, millions of successfull dental implants have been successfully placed as more and more people are finding out about the benefits of the amazing dental implant system.
The downside to dental implants for many people is simply the high cost demanded in most countries. At Smile Savers Hungary we have a the solution that brings the advantages of dental implants into many more peoples grasp.
Dental Implant Information
During the last 30 years the use of dental implants has
changed dentistry beyond recognition. Implants are no longer considered experimental
and it is equally rare to come across situations where they cannot be used
at all.
Following is a an extract of frequently asked questions about dental implants and associated subjects such as bone grafting which
is meant to serve as an explanation of what can be quite a complex subject.
Each surgeon will have his or her preferred way of
creating new bone. Many of them will also use a supplementary technique
called 'guided tissue regeneration'. Using this technique slow moving
bone cells are given time to fill a space by placing a barrier material
between them and the fast moving cells of the soft tissues lining the
mouth. When this technique was originally developed the barrier material
had to be removed during a separate surgical stage a few months later.
Whilst these original materials are still in use, it is now more common
to use a 'resorbable barrier' that will disappear naturally a few months
after it has done its work.
Do
you need to have a healthy mouth?
When you first enquire about dental implants it is
often in response to an awareness of ongoing dental problems or the recent
loss of teeth. Each of these problems will need to be diagnosed and treated
in a logical manner, often placing implants in order to establish healthier
conditions. Although it is tempting to focus on the more glamorous aspects
of teeth supported by implants, basic dental health, which includes the
treatment of gum disease, repair of decay and the elimination of abscesses
will be just as important for the long-term success of your treatment.
If you are aware of bad breath, loose teeth, or have noticed excessive
bleeding, particularly when your teeth are cleaned professionally, you
may have gum problems. Periodontal (gum) disease is a major cause of
bone loss and with reduced bone, dental implant treatment can be more
complicated.
Hungary is in sharp to contrast to most European countries
in that it has a hugely competitive army of highly trained dental professionals
fighting for a relatively small home market. Competition has been stoked
further by waves of foreign clients initially crossing the immediate borders
from Austria and Germany in search of a better deal. Now, with the recent
entry of Hungary into the EU, it's marketplace has expanded and competition
has grown even more fierce producing some of the best clinics Budapest has ever
seen. Prices have remained constant and in some cases fallen whilst quality
and levels of service have risen sharply.
Hungary and specifically Budapest is now a world leader in dentistry. No
one else has so many highly trained and experienced dentists per capita.
