Dental implants: Straumann and Osstem solutions for long-lasting smiles

KEIT Dental has seven dental treatment rooms organised to accommodate restorative dentistry, endodontics, implantology, and prosthetic rehabilitation procedures. For dental implant treatment, diagnostic instruments and digital technologies allow the dentist to assess bone volume, anatomical structures, and implant positioning. Treatment planning may combine intraoral scans and CBCT images when indicated, allowing implant placement to be planned according to the future prosthetic restoration. Straumann and Osstem implant systems are selected based on the patient's clinical characteristics, with particular attention to implant stability and the functionality of the final restoration.

One of the main advantages of KEIT Dental is its ability to combine dental expertise with the multidisciplinary medical team at KEIT Day Hospital. The clinic works with professionals experienced in implantology, oral surgery, restorative dentistry, and dental prosthetics. In particularly complex cases, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and other medical specialists may also be involved, depending on clinical needs.
For complex implant-supported rehabilitations, collaboration between professionals allows bone assessment, implant placement, and subsequent prosthetic restoration to be coordinated. This approach also makes it possible to address any need for bone regeneration or complementary treatments through a coordinated treatment plan.

Before dental implant placement, the dentist assesses the condition of the teeth, gums, bone, and occlusion, using X-rays, digital scans, and CBCT imaging when indicated. Particular attention is paid to bone volume and quality, the presence of infections or periodontal disease, and the relationship with anatomical structures such as nerves and the maxillary sinus. This information helps determine the number, position, and type of implants, as well as whether any bone regeneration procedures are necessary.
Thanks to its integration with KEIT Day Hospital, patients with particular medical conditions or those requiring more complex procedures may undergo assessments by anaesthetists, cardiologists, or other specialists, together with any necessary diagnostic evaluations. Treatment planning therefore considers both the patient's implant treatment needs and general health.

One of KEIT Dental's distinguishing features is its in-house dental laboratory, which facilitates direct collaboration between dentists and dental technicians in producing restorations and prosthetic rehabilitations. For dental implant treatment, conventional impressions or digital scans allow crowns, bridges, and implant-supported prostheses to be designed according to implant positioning and the patient's anatomical characteristics.
Coordination between the clinic and laboratory allows clinical requirements and technical details to be shared, with particular attention to the precision of fit, distribution of chewing forces, and aesthetic harmony of the final restoration.

KEIT Dental follows hygiene and infection control protocols that include disinfecting treatment areas, sterilising instruments, and using disposable materials when indicated. During dental implant surgery, particular attention is paid to preparing the surgical field, managing the tissues, and monitoring the patient's clinical condition.
Integration with KEIT Day Hospital provides additional support for managing complex dental implant cases. The facility has three equipped operating theatres, specialists in anaesthesia and intensive care, vital signs monitoring systems, and a postoperative resuscitation room.
Dental implant placement is generally performed under local anaesthesia. However, for more complex implant or oral and maxillofacial procedures, general anaesthesia may be used within the hospital facility when clinically indicated and following an appropriate anaesthetic assessment.
For cases requiring prolonged monitoring or specific postoperative care, admission to KEIT Day Hospital's inpatient wards can also be arranged. These wards are equipped with healthcare staff and monitoring systems. This integration allows treatment to be organised according to the level of care required by the patient's condition and the complexity of the procedure.

At KEIT Dental, patient care continues after implant placement through personalised guidance and follow-up appointments scheduled according to clinical needs. Subsequent examinations allow the dentist to assess tissue healing, monitor osseointegration, and evaluate implant stability before completing the prosthetic restoration.
Patients receive guidance on oral hygiene, diet, and precautions to follow during recovery. After the prosthetic phase, regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the implants and surrounding tissues. In complex cases, care may also involve other specialists from the medical team. For international patients, care may continue after they return to their home country through communication with the clinic and guidance on necessary follow-up appointments.

KEIT Dental places particular emphasis on treatment transparency and clinical documentation. Before dental implant surgery, patients receive information about the proposed implant system, available alternatives, treatment stages, expected benefits, and potential risks.
Clinical documentation includes diagnostic examinations, the implant and prosthetic treatment plan, and the procedures performed. The informed consent form and treatment quotation also allow patients to understand the details of the treatment and its associated costs. Any applicable guarantee conditions are specified in the contractual documentation, clarifying the coverage provided, exclusions, and arrangements for assistance. The longevity of dental implants also depends on individual clinical conditions, oral hygiene, and regular dental check-ups.
