Fail to plan is plan to fail. Poor planning is the biggest factor for complications in the treatment process.
In this post you will learn what are the important questions you should ask and what specific information to request before choosing where to be treated. We will introduce you to the most important step in the implant planning process so that you are well informed of what to expect.
We recently had a case of a patient who had been treated in a popular dental-tourism destination – while he was desperately looking for help, we had to unfortunately turn him away. Here is why. The patient’s X-ray showed an implant which had penetrated the sinus. This was a clear sign that the implant had been placed in a compromised position where the jawbone is very thin – apparently without adequate planning or a 3D scan. There are such cases indeed! This is why you need to make sure you will be examined with a 3D scan and then get the surgeon to discuss the scan with you. After all, this is the most important examination prior to surgery and you have the right to know everything about it!
So how is an implant surgery properly planned? It all starts with an on-site examination and an X-ray – this is the initial examination that will give a general information about the patient’s case and the presence or lack of enough jawbone for implantation. Here is an example of a panoramic photo:
While the x-ray is a good tool for getting a general idea of the patient’s case it is unfortunately not enough for a definitive conclusion of the presence of enough bone for implantation.
The 3D scan (CBCT) however is a three-dimensional X-ray examination and requires more advanced equipment. The equipment cost is significant and quite often it is provided as an external service as not every clinic can afford it. If the 3D scan is external to the clinic it would usually take longer time to receive the result and to analyze it.
The 3D scan is the one and only test that gives a 100% clarity on how thick and dense your jawbone is – only with a 3D scan the surgeon can make an objective decision where exactly and what type of implant to place.
100 % Professionals and very good doctors , You dont need to search for any other clinic ,They will restore your smile .

Имам проблеми със зъбите през по-голямата част от живота ми, така че мога спокойно да кажа, че съм ползвал услугите на различни зъболекари в няколко различни страни. Безспорно най-добрите резултати постигнах в София Имплант Център. Д-р Рафи трябваше да работи върху по-голямата част от устата ми за период от 3 месеца, като постави 8 импланта. Резултатите са абсолютно перфектни и вече обичам усмивката си. Слеед прегледа и 3д скенер обсъдихме надълго за наличните опции като видях примери за очакваните резултати. Преди да пристъпим към лечението знаех точно какво ще получа предварително. Самата клиника е прекрасна - с ново оборудване, а стоматологичната сестра е много внимателна. Целият персонал е много приятелски настроен и професионален. Препоръчвам.

Nach langen Recherchen entschied ich mich nach eine ausführlichen Telefonat (fast eine Stunde) für das Sofia Implant Centre, um mich einer Komplettsanierung zu unterziehen. Flug und Hotel gebucht. Transfer perfekt und immer pünktlich. Nervös erlebte ich die erste Untersuchung und am nächsten Tag gings los...tolles Team von Rezeption über Assistenten bis hin zu den Ärzten. Mit normalen Begleiterscheinungen in Form von postoperativen leichten Schmerzen und Schwellungen erhielt ich schon zwei Tage nach dem Eingriff meinen provisorischen Zahnersatz. Alles war super und ich fühlte mich bestens aufgehoben und kann diese Klinik absolut empfehlen, keine unnötigen Behandlungen, nur das was auch wirklich sinnvoll und machbar ist, aber das perfekt !!
Ich bedanke mich herzlich beim gesamten Team, im besonderen bei Herrn Dr. Nikola Patchev, der mir in einer entspannten Atmosphäre die Implantate setzte, Herrn Dr. Kliment Bekiarov, der mir akribisch den Zahnersatz in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Zahntechniker anpasste und Ivo, dem Manager, der für alle Fragen und anderen Dingen immer Zeit hatte.
Ich bin immer noch happy, mich für diese Klinik entschieden zu haben.

Ich habe mich zu keiner Zeit unwohl,oder unverstanden gefühlt. Meiner persöndlichen Situation entsprechend wurde mir die beste Lösung (nicht die teuerste sondern die Beste Lösung) für meine Zähne angeboten, und dementsprechend von den Ärzten eine super Arbeit geleistet!
Speziell hervorheben möchte ich Mr.george und Frau Valeria, die mich Exellent betreut haben!
