Dental implant · patients from Ploiesti
At the Dr. Radu Dumitru Clinic, patients from Ploiești 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 Ploiești 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 Ploiești value most when choosing a clinic for a dental implant, so we put it front and centre.
A dental implant is an artificial root, usually made of titanium, which replaces the root of a lost tooth and provides support for the future prosthetic restoration. The implant is inserted into the upper or lower jawbone and, once it has integrated, it can support a dental crown, a bridge or a more complex prosthetic restoration.
Unlike a conventional dental bridge, replacing a single tooth with an implant allows the gap to be restored without grinding down the healthy neighbouring teeth. Before treatment, the dentist assesses the condition of your bone, gums and existing teeth to determine whether an implant is a suitable solution for you.
A dental implant may be recommended for replacing one or more lost teeth, when your general and local health allow the treatment to be carried out. Depending on the number of missing teeth and the clinical situation, implants can support an individual crown, a bridge or a prosthetic restoration for an entire arch.
Dental implant treatment may be considered in situations such as:
The indication for an implant is established after the consultation and the necessary investigations, by assessing the available bone, the health of the gums and each patient’s particular features.
Dental implant treatment takes place in several stages, from the initial assessment to fitting the final prosthetic restoration. The exact duration and sequence may vary depending on the clinical situation, the amount of bone required and the healing time.
1. Consultation and investigations
The dentist assesses the condition of your teeth, gums and bone and recommends the imaging investigations needed to plan the implant.
2. Treatment planning
The position and number of implants, the type of prosthetic restoration and the need for any additional procedures, such as bone grafting, are determined.
3. Placing the dental implant
The implant is inserted into the bone, under local anaesthesia, in the position set out in the treatment plan.
4. The osseointegration period
This is followed by the period during which the implant integrates into the bone. The healing time differs depending on each patient’s situation.
5. The prosthetic stage
Once the implant has integrated, the impression or scan needed to make the future prosthetic restoration is taken.
6. Fitting the final crown
The crown or prosthetic restoration is fixed onto the implant, and the dentist checks its fit, your bite and how it functions.
A dental implant allows lost teeth to be replaced with a fixed solution, designed to restore chewing function and to support a prosthetic restoration tailored to you. The main advantages include:
The role of a dental implant is to replace the root of a lost tooth and create a stable support for the future prosthetic restoration. Once integrated into the bone, a crown, a bridge or a restoration replacing several teeth can be fixed onto the implant.
The implant therefore has several roles:
A dental implant is, therefore, the supporting component, while the crown or prosthetic restoration fitted on top of it restores the visible and functional part of the tooth.
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 Ploiești 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.
