Dental implant · patients from Targoviste
At the Dr. Radu Dumitru Clinic, patients from Targoviste who need a dental implant benefit from a careful assessment and a personalised treatment plan for each individual case. Whether you need a single tooth replaced or a complete oral rehabilitation, we offer patients from Targoviste safe, aesthetic and long-lasting solutions tailored to their clinical situation. Everything begins with a thorough consultation: X-ray, CT scan and a clearly explained plan, step by step, so that you know from the outset how many implants are needed, which prosthetic restorations are suitable and how much the whole procedure will cost. Price transparency is one of the criteria patients from Targoviste value most when choosing a clinic for a dental implant, so we put it front and centre.
When you lose a tooth, two elements need replacing: the root and the visible part of the tooth. A dental implant replaces the root, being inserted into the upper or lower jawbone, and the dental crown is later made on top of it.
In practice, the treatment consists of implant + connecting prosthetic component + dental crown. Where several teeth have been lost, implants can also support bridges or more extensive prosthetic restorations.
Not every missing tooth has to be replaced in the same way. A dental implant is one of the options considered when the aim is to restore a gap left by a missing tooth with a restoration supported directly by the bone.
It may be recommended:
The fact that a tooth is missing is not enough to establish the indication. The dentist must check the bone volume, the health of the gums, the position of the teeth and your general health as relevant to the procedure.
Dental implant treatment involves several stages, tailored to each patient’s situation:
1. Consultation and assessment: The dentist examines the area of the missing tooth and analyses the imaging investigations needed to plan the treatment.
2. Preparing for the implant: It is determined whether the implant can be placed directly or whether preparatory procedures, such as bone grafting, are needed.
3. Implant placement: The implant is positioned in the bone in a procedure carried out under local anaesthesia.
4. Osseointegration: This is followed by the healing period, during which the implant integrates into the bone; its duration varies according to the particular features of the case.
5. Making and fitting the prosthetic restoration: Once the implant has integrated, the crown or prosthetic restoration is made, then fitted and checked for fit and bite.
The advantages should be seen in comparison with having the tooth missing and with the other options available for replacing it.
A dental implant primarily has an anchoring role. It creates the fixed point in the bone needed to support the artificial tooth or a more extensive prosthetic restoration.
It is useful to distinguish between the three components:
Through this structure, the implant takes over the supporting role of the lost root, while the prosthetic restoration rebuilds the part of the tooth the patient needs for chewing and aesthetics.
The price of a dental implant varies depending on the type of implant, the material used and the complexity of the case (the need for bone grafting, the number of implants, etc.). At the Dr. Radu Dumitru Clinic, patients from Targoviste receive a clear treatment plan from the very first consultation, with all costs detailed before the procedure begins.
Frequently asked questions
In the first few days, soft foods and avoiding the treated area are recommended. As healing progresses, you can gradually return to a normal diet, following your dentist’s instructions.
It depends on each individual case. Sometimes the implant can be fitted in the same session as the extraction (immediate implant), if the bone and gum allow it. At other times a healing period is needed, from a few weeks to a few months, so that the area is properly prepared.
Yes. Inflamed or untreated gums can compromise the long-term stability of the implant. That is why any periodontal condition must be treated before the procedure, and the health of the gums is checked at every check-up after the implant has been fitted.
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during it. You may experience mild discomfort in the following days, which is easily managed with the medication recommended by your dentist.
An implant is not recommended in the case of uncontrolled conditions such as poorly controlled diabetes, severe clotting disorders or active cancer, nor during pregnancy or where oral hygiene is inadequate. Each situation is assessed individually at the consultation.
Yes. Well-controlled diabetes is not usually an obstacle. However, it is important for your blood sugar levels to be monitored constantly and for treatment to be coordinated between your dentist and your diabetes specialist.
A properly integrated and well-cared-for implant can last for decades, sometimes even a lifetime. Its longevity depends on the quality of the implant and the prosthetic restoration, as well as on your daily oral hygiene and attending regular check-ups.
In most cases local anaesthesia is used, the same as for other dental treatments. For anxious patients or more complex cases, conscious sedation may be chosen, on the dentist’s recommendation.
