Have you lost a tooth and are wondering what the best solution is? Perhaps you are considering dental implants, but have questions: how long will it take, will it hurt, is it worth the investment? These are perfectly normal concerns, and we are here to provide you with clear answers.

Dental implants are one of the safest and most effective solutions for replacing missing teeth, being recommended from both a functional and aesthetic point of view. At DENT ESTET Brașov, dental implant treatments are performed in a modern medical setting, using advanced digital technologies by a multidisciplinary team renowned for its expertise in solving complex cases. 

Think of a dental implant as a new root for missing teeth. It is a titanium structure (a biocompatible material that is very well accepted by the body) that is inserted into the jawbone and serves as a solid foundation for the dental crown, just as the natural root supports the tooth.

Dental implants are recommended in many situations. For example:  

• When you lose a single tooth, either due to deep decay, infection or trauma. A dental implant allows the missing tooth to be replaced without affecting the healthy neighbouring teeth, as is the case with traditional dental bridges.
• When you are missing several teeth, dental implants can support fixed prosthetic work, representing a much more stable and comfortable alternative than traditional bridges or dentures. Thus, the masticatory function is effectively restored, and the aesthetic appearance is natural.
• When you are faced with total edentulism (the absence of teeth on a dental arch), dental implants offer the possibility of complete rehabilitation. With the All-on-4 dental implant system, you can enjoy an aesthetic and functional smile in just 24-48 hours.

The All-on-4 dental implant system allows the restoration of a complete dental arch with just four strategically placed implants. This technique is especially recommended for patients with total edentulism or irreparably compromised teeth. 

Advantages of dental implants in Brașov

If you have ever worn removable dentures, you know how uncomfortable they can be.

Dental implants offer major advantages:

• Real stability - eat what you want without fear of anything moving;
• Natural comfort - speak and chew normally, as if they were your own teeth;
• Natural appearance – no one will notice the difference. 

The success of an implant depends on the quality of the material, but especially on the medical team that will perform the treatment and how the entire procedure is planned. It's like having the best building materials, but you need an experienced architect who knows exactly how to use them for solid foundations. 

The expertise of the medical team coordinated by Dr. Codruța Ciurescu

At DENT ESTET Brașov, treatments are coordinated by Dr. Codruța Ciurescu, Doctor of Medical Sciences, primary general dentist, specialist in dento-alveolar surgery and renowned international trainer. Dr. Codruța Ciurescu is also a doctor with international training in France (graduate of a postgraduate complementary training programme – Diplôme d'Université in Periodontology and Oral Implantology, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse) and Germany (graduate of the Master of Science programme at RWTH University in Aachen).  

Thanks to her extensive experience in surgery, implantology and periodontology, even the most complex cases can be approached with confidence and precision at DENT ESTET Brașov.

The team of implantologists is completed by Dr. Marius Goția, a specialist in dento-alveolar surgery, trained professionally in France. In his practice, he emphasises prevention, empathy and personalised solutions, tailored to each patient, because every case is different.

At DENT ESTET Brașov, dental implant treatment is the result of close collaboration between the surgeon, prosthodontist and periodontist, so that each stage is carefully planned and tailored to your needs. 

Technology that offers precision at every stage of treatment

At DENT ESTET Brașov, technology helps us plan correctly, intervene safely and achieve predictable results:

• 3D imaging investigations (CBCT) – for an accurate assessment of bone structure and sensitive areas.
• Digital planning – we see the final result even before starting treatment.
• Digital surgical guide – ensures implant insertion with millimetre precision, in less time and with increased comfort.
• Implant stability monitoring (Osstell Beacon) – allows us to determine the optimal time for implant loading.
• Medical protocols compliant with international standards – for safety and long-lasting results. 

We understand that you are wondering what will happen after you decide to undergo dental implant treatment. Here is exactly how the process works:

Consultation and planning - "Let's see what we have to work with"

The first visit is all about understanding. We perform imaging tests to see what the bone looks like, discuss your expectations and plan each step. Now you will find out exactly what the treatment involves in your case.

Implant insertion - "The big day"

The implant is inserted under local anaesthetic. Many patients are surprised at how well they tolerate the procedure. In some cases, we can insert the implant during the same appointment as the tooth extraction, saving time.

Osteointegration - "The healing period"

This is the stage when the implant "sticks" to the bone, becoming part of your bone structure. It takes a few months, but it is essential for long-term stability. During this period, you will have temporary aesthetic solutions available - you will not be left with a visible gap.

Crown placement - "Completing the smile"

Once the implant has fully integrated, we apply the final crown. This is customised to match your other teeth perfectly - in shape, colour and functionality.

There are several types of implants, differentiated by technology and materials:

• Standard implants – effective and proven solutions for simple cases
• Premium implants - state-of-the-art systems with high predictability

We choose the right implant together, after evaluating your case. There is no universal "best implant"; there is the right implant for your specific situation. 

This is probably one of the first questions you will have, and it is perfectly normal.

However, the cost of a dental implant should not be viewed as an expense. In fact, it is an investment in your long-term health.  

Factors that influence the cost

• The type of implant chosen (standard or premium);
• The need for additional procedures (bone grafts, if there is insufficient bone);
• The materials used for the crown;
• Technologies involved in planning and execution.

At the DENT ESTET Brașov clinic, the price of the dental implant is presented transparently before starting treatment, with no surprises along the way. Costs can vary between EUR 770 and over EUR 4,000, depending on the complexity of the case, i.e. whether we are talking about a single implant or a complex All-on-4 oral rehabilitation.  

You can consult the prices for dental implants on our price list page. 

Dental implants are not just about aesthetics. They are an investment in long-term health:

• They prevent bone resorption – when a tooth is missing, the bone in that area begins to recede; implants stop this process;
• Stability and comfort - eat, talk and laugh without worry;
• Long life - with proper care, an implant can last for decades. 

We appreciate your sincere questions. Dental implants are a safe procedure, but like any medical intervention, they require careful evaluation in certain situations:

• Uncontrolled systemic conditions (diabetes, severe cardiovascular disease);
• Excessive smoking (reduces the chances of proper healing);
• Poor oral hygiene;
• Insufficient bone volume (although this can be corrected with additional procedures).

During the specialist consultation, we openly discuss any issues that could influence the success of the treatment.

Schedule a consultation at DENT ESTET Brașov and you will find answers to all your questions about the right solution for you, the stages of treatment, and the final cost of the treatment plan.
