Implant placement
The procedure places a titanium implant in the bone where a tooth is missing. The implant acts as an artificial root, onto which a crown is fitted once healing is complete.
Built to last
Implantology
A missing tooth isn't the end of the story — Straumann implants with Dr. Paweł Cichosz, from one tooth to complex cases.
A missing tooth isn't just a matter of appearance. Over time, neighbouring teeth drift into the gap, the opposing tooth loses its bite partner, and the bone where the tooth was lost begins to resorb. An implant replaces the tooth root, halting these processes and restoring full chewing function.
At Saska Smile, all implant procedures are led by Dr. Paweł Cichosz, described by the practice as one of the more experienced implantologists in Poland. He works on the Swiss Straumann implant system — one of the longest-studied and most extensively documented systems in the world, which translates into predictable treatment and long-term durability.
We handle both single implants and more complex cases requiring prior bone rebuilding — a sinus lift or bone grafting. Every procedure is preceded by detailed diagnostics based on our own digital pantomogram, so implant position is planned well in advance rather than judged during the procedure itself.
In practice
What your treatment includes
Crown on an implant
The final prosthetic restoration fitted onto the implant via an abutment and screw — matched in colour and shape so it doesn't stand out from neighbouring teeth.
Sinus lift
A procedure performed when there isn't enough bone in the upper posterior jaw to safely place an implant — it recovers the bone volume needed for a stable implant.
Bone grafting (augmentation)
Filling a bone defect with a bone-substitute material when the natural bone volume is too small for immediate implant placement — prepares the site for future implantation.
When an implant might be your next chapter
A single missing tooth you'd rather not replace with a bridge that requires grinding down neighbouring teeth
Gaps in your teeth that make chewing on one side difficult
An unstable removable denture that gets in the way of daily life
Wanting to stop bone loss at the site of an extracted tooth
Your implant path, step by step
1
Consultation and diagnostics
Assessing bone condition from a pantomogram, discussing possible solutions, and an initial cost estimate.
2
Preparation (if needed)
A sinus lift or bone graft when there isn't enough bone tissue.
3
Implant placement
A surgical procedure under local anaesthetic — placing the titanium implant in the bone.
4
Healing period
The time needed for osseointegration — the implant fusing with the bone — usually a few months.
5
Fitting the crown
Once healing is complete — fitting the abutment and the final prosthetic crown.
