Dental implants are the most modern and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. In our office in České Budějovice, we offer a professional approach and top-notch care, thanks to which you can enjoy a beautiful and healthy smile again. So what does the entire process of inserting a dental implant look like?

1. Individual consultation and planning

Each patient is unique, which is why we always start with a detailed consultation , during which we perform a thorough examination. Using modern diagnostic methods, including 3D X-rays , we assess the condition of the bone and plan the optimal placement of the implant.

2. Surgical phase – implant insertion

The actual insertion of the dental implant takes place under local anesthesia, making the entire procedure painless and safe . The titanium implant, which replaces the tooth root, is gently placed into the jawbone. The entire procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes .

3. Healing and fusion with bone (osseointegration)

After the implant is placed, a healing phase begins , which typically lasts 2-4 months . During this time, the implant fuses firmly with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for future dental restorations.

4. Fitting the prosthetic crown

Once the implant is fully healed, we proceed to fabricate and attach the final crown, bridge or complete denture. Thanks to the precise workmanship, your new tooth will be indistinguishable from natural teeth , both in appearance and function.

Why choose dental implants?

  • Long life – implants last for decades.
  • Natural appearance – indistinguishable from your own teeth.
  • Comfort and stability – no uncomfortable shifting like with dentures.
  • Jawbone preservation – unlike bridges, they prevent bone loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement that is placed into the jawbone and serves as a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. It is made of biocompatible titanium, which integrates with the bone tissue in a process called osseointegration.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient feels no pain during the placement. After the procedure, mild swelling or sensitivity may occur, which usually subsides within a few days. Most patients report that the procedure was much more comfortable than they expected.

With proper care, a dental implant can last decades, often a lifetime. The key factors are consistent oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits that could damage the implant, such as teeth grinding without a night guard.

The price varies depending on the type of implant, materials used, and the complexity of the case. A single implant with a crown typically starts from approximately 36,000 CZK. The exact price is determined by the dentist after a thorough consultation and examination.
