Have you lost all or almost all of your teeth? Is your removable denture not holding up, causing pain, and preventing you from chewing properly? And doctors say there's not enough bone for implants? This situation is familiar to many in Tashkent, but it's not a death sentence! Veda Stom in Tashkent specializes in solving the most complex dental problems. We successfully perform full implant-supported dentures for patients with severe bone atrophy, often without time-consuming and painful bone grafting. If you need implants for bone atrophy in Tashkent, you've come to the right place.
Why does bone disappear and what are the dangers? (A reality you can cope with!)
After a tooth is removed, the jawbone, deprived of chewing pressure, begins to slowly but irreversibly resorb (atrophy). The longer the teeth are missing, the more severe this process becomes. Severe atrophy leads to serious problems:
- The collapse of classical implantation: Standard implants require sufficient volume of dense bone. If bone atrophy is severe, there simply isn't room for them.
- Trouble with removable dentures: They don’t fit well on a “flattened” jaw, they hang loose, rub, cause pain, and interfere with eating and speaking.
- Face change: The face “sags”, the lips sink, the corners of the mouth droop, deep wrinkles appear – signs of premature aging.
- Health problems: The inability to chew food properly is detrimental to digestion and overall well-being.
Previously, the only options were massive removable dentures or multi-stage, expensive bone grafting surgeries (sinus lifts, bone block grafts), which could take up to a year or more. But modern dentistry in Tashkent offers revolutionary solutions!
Veda Stom Solutions for Patients with Severe Atrophy: Workarounds to Reliable Teeth
At Veda Stom, we utilize advanced protocols that allow us to install implants and secure fixed prostheses to them even with minimal bone volume, often avoiding complex bone grafting:
All-on-4®/All-on-6® Protocol: Genius in Simplicity
- How it works? Just 4 or 6 implants (often premium ones, such as Nobel Biocare) are placed into the jaw at specific angles:
- We use the preserved bone: Implants are placed in areas where the bone is usually denser and less atrophied (the anterior part of the lower jaw, the area of the canines and premolars on the upper jaw).
- We bypass problem areas: Posterior implants are placed at an angle, bypassing areas with insufficient bone height or nearby maxillary sinuses.
- Maximum stability: The angular installation increases the contact area with the bone and evenly distributes the load during chewing.
- Result: Within 1-3 days, a temporary, fixed prosthesis is secured to the implants—you leave the clinic with new teeth! After a few months, it is replaced with a permanent, durable prosthesis (metal-ceramic, zirconium).
Zygomatic and Basal Implants: Support Where Bone Still Exists
- Zygomatic implants (Zygoma):
- The gist: Extra-long implants (up to 6 cm!) are placed through the upper jaw into the dense and stable zygomatic bone (zygoma). This bone is virtually impervious to atrophy.
- Application in Tashkent: An ideal solution for extremely complex cases of maxillary atrophy, when there is almost no bone left and sinus lifting is impossible or risky. Allows for immediate implant placement.
- Basal implantation:
- The gist: Special implants are placed not in spongy bone (which is rapidly resorbed), but in the deep basal layers of the jawbone or even the base of the skull. These layers are very dense and stable.
- Application: An effective method for severe atrophy, especially in the lower jaw or as an addition to other protocols in the upper jaw.
- Advantages: They allow for complete avoidance or significant reduction of bone grafting. The prosthesis can be installed quickly (often within 72 hours).
Combination Methods: A Personalized Plan is the Key to Your Success
At Veda Stom, we understand that every case of dental atrophy is unique. Our implant surgeons in Tashkent develop a personalized plan that may include:
- A combination of All-on-6 on the lower jaw and zygomatic implants on the upper jaw.
- Use of classic implants where the bone allows, and basal/zygomatic implants in problem areas.
- Minimal targeted bone grafting only in critically needed locations in combination with advanced implantation protocols.
