#in short
What is a dental implant and how does it work?
The dental implant is the modern solution for replacing a missing tooth, without grinding the neighboring teeth and without resorting to a mobile prosthesis. From a structural point of view, the implant acts like an artificial root: a biocompatible titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone and on which a crown, a bridge or a complete fixed work is later made.
Titanium is the standard material in implantology due to its outstanding properties: it is biocompatible, does not cause adverse reactions and has the ability to integrate directly into the bone structure through a process called osseointegration. Within a few months, the implant becomes part of the mandible or jaw, just as the root of the natural tooth was. The end result is a tooth that looks, feels and functions like a natural one: stable, comfortable, without movement and without impact on adjacent teeth.
Unlike a classic dental bridge, the implant does not require grinding the healthy teeth next to the edentulous space. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, experienced doctors constantly emphasize that the implant is the most conservative and predictable long-term solution for this very reason: it keeps the neighboring teeth intact and treats the real cause, not just the visible effect of a missing tooth.
An important aspect that we always emphasize to our patients is that the dental implant is not only an aesthetic solution, but a biological solution. By continuously stimulating the bone, the implant prevents the bone resorption that occurs naturally when a tooth is missing. Without this stimulation, the bone gradually resorbs, which changes the contour of the face over time and affects the stability of the remaining teeth. Removable dentures and classic dental bridges do not provide the same bone stimulation, which is why resorption continues even in their presence.
This means that, in the long term, the implant contributes to maintaining the structure of the face and the dental arch as a whole. Today, the success rate of implants exceeds 95% at 10 years, and the lifespan of a properly maintained implant can exceed 20 years. Maintenance involves periodic professional sanitation and regular check-ups, which is exactly what we recommend and schedule with each patient at Atelierul de Zâmbete.
To whom is the dental implant recommended and what problems does it solve?
The dental implant is recommended for a wide spectrum of patients, from those who have lost a single tooth to those with extensive partial or total edentence. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, we evaluate each patient's eligibility in a comprehensive consultation based on in-office digital x-rays and a detailed clinical exam to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Missing a single tooth
The most common situation: a tooth lost due to trauma, extraction or infection. In this case, the implant is the solution of first choice: it keeps the neighboring teeth intact, restores the aesthetics and completely restores the masticatory function.
Missing several teeth
When several teeth in an arch are missing, implants can support a fixed bridge without the need for an implant for each individual tooth. The solution is more economical than individual implants and just as stable and functional.
Partial or total edentation
Patients who have lost all or almost all teeth in an arch have the option of opting for a full fixed restoration through the All-on-4, All-on-6 or All-on-8 protocols. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, this is one of the procedures we actively promote because it radically changes the quality of life for patients.
Patients who refuse removable prosthesis
Many patients come to us after years of wearing a mobile prosthesis, looking for a fixed, comfortable and stable alternative. The implant, or rehabilitation on implants, offers just that: a solution that does not come out, does not move, and does not create discomfort in speech or mastication.
Beyond the clinical indications, the dental implant concretely solves several problems that patients experience on a daily basis: it restores mastication and comfort, so that you can eat what you like without restrictions or discomfort. It improves the aesthetics of the smile, the crown on the implant being made of quality ceramic that perfectly mimics a natural tooth. It prevents migration of neighboring teeth, as an untreated edentulous space leads to displacement of adjacent teeth and occlusal changes over time. And last but not least, it helps to maintain bone volume by constantly stimulating the bone and preventing the progressive bone resorption typical of untreated edentulous. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, each of these benefits is explained in detail at the consultation, so that your decision is informed and unambiguous.
#solutions
What prosthetic solutions can be made on implants?
The dental implant itself is only the first part of the treatment: the foundation. A variety of prosthetic solutions can be built on this foundation, depending on the number of missing teeth, the clinical situation and the patient's preferences.
Crown on implant, for a single missing tooth
It is the most common application of implantology. An individual ceramic crown is attached to the inserted and osseointegrated implant, made to perfectly match the adjacent natural teeth in shape, color and size. The result is practically indistinguishable from a natural tooth, both aesthetically and functionally.
Bridge on implants, for several missing teeth
When two or more consecutive teeth are missing, implants can serve as abutments for a fixed bridge. An implant is not required for each missing tooth: usually two implants can support a three-piece bridge, which reduces both the cost and the degree of surgery. The solution is stable, aesthetic and durable.
Full fixed rehabilitation: All-on-4, All-on-6 and All-on-8
The All-on-4, All-on-6 and All-on-8 protocols are intended for patients with full or near full edentulous teeth who want a permanent fixed solution. The principle is simple: four, six or eight strategic implants support an entire fixed dental arch, a complete, stable work made of quality materials.
The number of implants needed (4, 6 or 8) depends on the bone density, the length of the arch and the masticatory forces specific to each case. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, planning is done digitally and the surgical and prosthetic team collaborate from the start. Prosthetic work is performed based on scanned fingerprints for a precise fit, and maintenance is planned from the design of the case.
One of the major advantages of these protocols is that, in many cases, the patient can receive a fixed temporary work on the same day of surgery, which makes a significant difference to the waiting period associated with classical methods. The final work is done after the osseointegration is completed.
How is dental implant treatment performed at Atelierul de Zâmbete?
The treatment protocol differs depending on the type of rehabilitation chosen. Here's what the full process looks like for each situation.
Dental Implant for a single tooth: 6 steps
1. Consultation + digital radiography + planning
It all starts with a complete evaluation: clinical examination, photographs and digital radiography taken directly in our office, which provide a precise picture of the available bone, the anatomical structures in the vicinity and the optimal position for implant insertion. Based on this data, the doctor performs the digital planning of the case, using the scanned fingerprints to simulate the final result.
2. Implant insertion
Insertion of the implant is performed through a minor surgical intervention, under local anesthesia. The surgeon prepares the bone site and inserts the titanium implant into the digitally planned position. The procedure usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes per implant, depending on the complexity of the case. Most patients return to their usual activities within 1-2 days after the procedure.
3. Healing and osseointegration
After insertion, the implant needs time to fully integrate into the bone, a process that lasts, on average, between 3 and 6 months, depending on the bone quality and the insertion area. During this period, the area heals and the implant becomes stable and functional. If necessary, you can wear a temporary work for aesthetics and functionality during this period.
4. Scan for the crown on the implant
Once the osseointegration is complete, we perform a digital scan of the implant to design the final ceramic crown. Scanned fingerprints offer superior accuracy compared to classic paste fingerprints and eliminate the discomfort associated with them.
5. Sample + final work
The crown is tried before final cementation to check color, shape, marginal fit and occlusion. Only after complete validation is the work completed. We photograph the final result to have a clear before/after reference.
6. Periodic control and maintenance
The dental implant requires regular periodic check-ups, every 6 months or 1 year, to check the integrity of the crown, the health of the peri-implant gingiva and the long-term stability. Regular professional hygiene contributes significantly to the longevity of the implant.
Complete rehabilitation All-on-4 / All-on-6 / All-on-8: 6 steps
1. Consultation + x-ray + scan + complete plan
The evaluation of complex cases is more elaborate and includes a detailed analysis of the entire arch, available bone volume, and the relationship between the maxilla and mandible. The planning is both surgical and prosthetic: the two components are considered simultaneously by the interdisciplinary team.
2. Surgical planning and digital prosthetics
Using radiological data and fingerprints, the doctor plans the exact position of each implant and designs the final prosthetic work before any intervention. This approach reduces the risks and increases the predictability of the result.
3. Surgical intervention + temporary work
On the day of surgery, the implants are surgically inserted into the digitally planned positions and the patient receives a fixed provisional, a stable full arch that can be worn during osseointegration. This is one of the most appreciated features of the All-on protocol: the patient does not leave without teeth.
4. Controls and cure
During the period of osseointegration (usually between 3 and 6 months) the patient is monitored periodically. The temporary work is adjusted if necessary for optimal comfort and functionality.
5. Final work
Once the success of the osseointegration is confirmed, the definitive prosthetic work is carried out, digitally designed based on the scanned impressions, for a lasting aesthetic and functional result.
6. Periodic maintenance
Maintenance is essential for the longevity of the implants and the final work. Periodic professional hygiene and regular checks ensure the health of the peri-implant tissues and the long-term stability of the entire rehabilitation.

frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about dental implants
How much does a dental implant cost?
The cost of a dental implant depends on the type of implant, the prosthetic work and any additional procedures. Important to know: the price shown for the implant usually only covers the titanium screw, while the full treatment also includes the prosthetic abutment and crown. At Atelierul de Zâmbete from Sector 3, București, you receive at the first consultation a detailed estimate that includes all stages, with no hidden costs. The quote price becomes our commitment.
What is included in the price of a dental implant?
A complete dental implant treatment includes four main components: the implant itself (the titanium screw), the prosthetic abutment (the connecting piece), the dental crown (the visible part) and the necessary investigations (X-ray, treatment plan). In some cases additional procedures such as bone addition or sinus lift are added. When comparing offers between clinics, check if the price includes all of these items or just the implant. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, the estimate details each component transparently.
Does a dental implant hurt?
Insertion of the implant is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the intervention. Discomfort occurs after the anesthesia wears off and is generally moderate, manageable with regular anti-inflammatory medication. In most patients, the discomfort decreases significantly after 2-3 days, and the inflammation disappears almost completely within a week. Many patients describe the experience as less unpleasant than they expected.
Can the body reject a dental implant?
The actual rejection of a dental implant is very rare, because titanium is a biocompatible material that the body tolerates very well. What can happen, in rare cases, is failure of osseointegration, meaning the implant does not integrate properly into the bone. Signs that require attention include persistent pain, implant mobility, or inflammation that does not subside. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, digital planning and careful evaluation of the bone significantly reduce this risk.
How long does dental implant treatment last?
A simple unitary implant is usually completed in 4-6 months, and cases requiring additional procedures (bone addition, sinus lift) can take 6 to 12 months. Most of this time is the period of osseointegration, in which the implant integrates into the bone, a biological process that cannot be accelerated. In certain situations, a temporary fixed work can be applied on the same day of the intervention. At the first consultation you receive a realistic calendar.
How long does a dental implant last?
A well-integrated and properly cared for dental implant can last decades, in some cases a lifetime. The success rate of implants exceeds 95% at 10 years, according to specialist studies. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, regular check-ups and factors such as smoking or uncontrolled chronic diseases. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, we schedule regular check-ups and professional cleanings to protect the implant long-term.
Who cannot get a dental implant?
The dental implant has several contraindications, divided into absolute and relative. Temporary or relative contraindications include heavy smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain recent cardiovascular conditions, situations in which the implant can only be done after the condition is under control. Age under 18 is a contraindication until bone growth is complete. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, we evaluate your general condition and oral health before recommending the implant.
Does smoking affect the dental implant?
Yes, smoking negatively affects the dental implant. Nicotine reduces blood circulation to the gums, slows healing and increases the risk of infection and failure of osseointegration. This does not mean that smokers cannot get implants, but the risk is higher and the doctor will explain this to you during the consultation. Reducing or quitting smoking during the healing period significantly improves the chances of success.
What can I eat after a dental implant?
In the first days after implant insertion, soft foods at room temperature that do not require intense chewing are recommended: soups, boiled and cooled vegetables, boiled fish, bananas, avocados, purees. Avoid hot, very cold, spicy or hard foods, and do not chew on the side with the implant. At Atelierul de Zâmbete you receive complete post-operative care instructions, adapted to your situation.
Can I get a dental implant if I have periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease must be treated and controlled before an implant is placed, as bacteria can migrate from the teeth to the implant and cause it to fail over time. At Atelierul de Zâmbete, we first treat periodontal disease with the Er:YAG laser and only then plan the implant. This is a rule we follow without exception, to protect the long-term bottom line.
