Safe Dental Implantation in Riga with 3D Planning
Dental implants
The specialists of our clinic work with the world's most respected implantology brands: Straumann, NEODENT, ANKYLOS and MegaGen. A dental implant restores the place of a tooth both functionally and aesthetically, letting you return to your usual rhythm of life. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, to create a bridge when several teeth are missing, or to fully rehabilitate the mouth when all teeth have been lost. A key advantage of implants is that they keep the structure of the neighbouring teeth intact, because the crown on the implant is a completely independent construction that does not require grinding down the adjacent teeth. Before restoring the tooth or fitting a prosthesis on the implant, the implant must be given time to integrate into the jawbone.
One of the most relevant topics in dentistry is replacing a missing tooth in good time. If an implant is not placed in time where a tooth is missing, bone resorption occurs — the jawbone gradually recedes in the place where the tooth is absent. The neighbouring teeth begin to shift towards the gap, while the tooth in the opposing jaw lengthens and protrudes outward. Over time this leads to an incorrect and traumatic bite and can also cause changes in the jaw joints.
The dental implantation process: step by step
Implantation is a step-by-step process in which every stage affects the quality and longevity of the final result.
Digital 3D planning for a precise result
Before implantation we carry out detailed 3D diagnostics, which allow us to precisely assess the volume, density and anatomical features of the jawbone. Based on this data, the implantologist digitally plans the position, angle and depth of the implant even before surgery — this significantly reduces the chance of error and makes the result predictable.
Surgical guide — implantation without errors
Based on the digital plan, an individual surgical guide is produced — an auxiliary device that during surgery ensures the implant is placed exactly in the position and at the angle set out in the plan.
Bone augmentation with biomaterials
If the volume of the jawbone is insufficient for placing the implant, bone augmentation is performed before or during implantation using biological materials. This provides a stable foundation for the implant and extends its service life.
Sinus lift
In cases where the implant is to be placed in the posterior part of the upper jaw and the bone height is insufficient due to the proximity of the maxillary sinus, a sinus lift procedure is performed — raising the floor of the maxillary sinus to create the space needed for bone growth and implant placement.
Local anaesthesia and patient comfort
The implantation procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring that the patient feels no pain during the procedure. Our specialists take care of the patient's comfort throughout the entire treatment, explaining every step and answering questions.
Implant brands
Our clinic works with four globally recognised implant brands, and the choice of system is determined by the specific clinical situation, not by price alone.
Premium-class Straumann implants
Straumann is an implant brand of Swiss origin, considered one of the most reliable and most researched in the world. We recommend them because, wherever you are in the world, a local specialist is most likely to have the appropriate instruments to work with the crown part. Straumann is characterised by high quality, durability and predictable integration with bone tissue.
Reliable Neodent and MegaGen solutions
Neodent and MegaGen are internationally recognised implant brands that offer a reliable and more affordable solution without compromising quality — a good option for patients looking for a balance between price and durability.
Ankylos — German precision and an aesthetic result
Ankylos is an implant system of German origin, known for its precise engineering and an aesthetic result close to that of a natural tooth.
All-on-4 and a full arch on implants in a single day
All-on-4 is a solution for patients who are missing all or most of the teeth in a jaw — the method involves securing an entire dental arch on four strategically placed implants, often avoiding the need for additional bone augmentation. In some cases it is possible to place the implants and secure a temporary dental arch on them within a single day, allowing the patient to leave the clinic with functional teeth immediately after the procedure. The final, permanent prosthesis is fitted later, once the implants have fully integrated.
How much do dental implants cost? (Prices and guarantees)
The cost of implantation depends on several factors — the chosen implant brand, the scope of any additional procedures required (for example, bone augmentation or a sinus lift), and the individual treatment plan. We propose to determine the exact price after a consultation and diagnostics.
Don't let a single missing tooth affect your entire smile. The implant not only visually replaces the missing tooth, but also prevents the destruction of adjacent teeth.

Frequently asked questions
-
Why is it necessary to replace an extracted tooth with an implant?
If an implant is not installed in time to replace the missing tooth, bone resorption occurs, or, in other words, the jawbone begins to settle in place of the missing tooth. Also, adjacent teeth begin to shift towards the missing tooth, and the tooth on the opposite jaw begins to shift outward and lengthen, which can cause traumatic and premature malocclusion, including disorders in the jaw joints.

What is a sinus lift?
Sinus lift is a bone regeneration, the purpose of which is to increase the volume of bone tissue by raising the paranasal cavity. This manipulation is performed only on the upper jaw.
OPEN SINUS LIFTING Is performed with insufficient amount of bone tissue on the sides of the upper jaw. First, the implantologist creates a small hole in the outer wall of the adjacent cavity. After that, the mucous membrane of the adjacent cavity is raised to the required height. The created free cavity is filled with augmentation material. A sinus lift also uses a membrane to obtain the maximum amount of bone possible. The previously layered bone tissue and part of the mucosa are laid back and sutured. After some time, the required amount of bone tissue is formed, after which implantation is performed. An open sinus lift is less traumatic for a patient than a closed one.
CLOSED SINUS LIFTING It is used in cases where the patient's bone is nearly sufficient for implant placement, but additional bone needs to be added. To insert the implant, a chisel is inserted into the drilled hole, which pushes the bottom of the cavity and raises the paranasal cavity. Then the osteoplastic material is poured into the cavity. The implant can be installed immediately, without even waiting for the

Components of a dental implant system:
1. Titanium "screw" - an implant screwed into the jawbone. In accordance with the structure of the patient's jawbone, an implant of a certain length, width, with a certain number of threads and depth is selected. On the outside, the titanium implant is specially treated to increase the surface of contact with the bone and thus provide a better fusion of the dental implant with the bone (osseointegration). As a result of this process, an analogue of the tooth root is obtained so that the subsequent setting of the dental crown can be carried out.
2. Healing abutment. A specially shaped titanium abutment that is temporarily inserted into a dental implant above the gum level to create an aesthetically shaped gum around the dental implant, just like natural teeth.
3. Abutment. An analogue of the tooth shaft. After the Healing Abutment is removed, the abutment is placed and fixed in the dental implant. Depending on the choice of the patient, a metal or zirconium abutment is installed. The advantage of a metal abutment is the relatively lower price. It is suitable for patients with thick gums or in cases where the tooth is implanted deep in the mouth. On the other hand, a zirconia abutment is a more expensive but more esthetic solution if an incisor is implanted because the zirconia abutment does not show through thin gums. It is also used in cases where the patient plans to use a zirconia dental crown.
4. Dental crown. Depending on the choice of the patient, a metal-ceramic or zirconium crown is made, which is installed and fixed on the abutment. In appearance and functionality, a dental crown is identical to a natural tooth.
