A modern, lasting solution when teeth are lost
Losing one or more teeth affects not only the look of your smile but how the whole mouth works. It can lead to difficulty eating and speaking, and to gradual changes in the position of the remaining teeth and in the bone.
Dental implants are a modern, long-term answer to these problems. They are a stable replacement anchored firmly in the bone that works much like a natural tooth.
This gives the patient back not only the function of their teeth but confidence in everyday life and a natural-looking smile.

What dental implants are and how they work
A dental implant is a small titanium or ceramic component placed into the jawbone to take the place of the root of a tooth. A crown, bridge or other restoration is then attached to that base.
One of the main advantages of implants is their stability. Unlike other solutions they do not move, they need no support from neighbouring teeth, and they feel natural in use.
As it heals, the implant fuses firmly with the bone, creating a stable base for a long-term solution. This process is what gives implants their long life and reliability.
An implant and a natural tooth side by side
An implant replaces what disappears first when a tooth is lost — its root. The titanium screw is placed directly into the jawbone, so the replacement stands on bone just as the tooth it replaced did, and does not have to lean on the neighbouring teeth.
An abutment is fixed onto the screw, passing through the gum, and the crown goes onto that. It is the height of the gum and the bone around it that decides whether a crown on an implant will look like a natural tooth — which is why both are measured before and after the procedure.
Replacing a single missing tooth
When a single tooth is lost, an implant is the solution that leaves the healthy teeth beside the gap untouched. A conventional bridge has to grind them down to have something to rest on; an implant stands on its own.
The crown is matched in shape and shade to the surrounding teeth, and the gum heals around it into a shape that closes the gap.
Comfort and a natural feel
One of the greatest advantages of implants is how they feel. Patients often say that, once the implant has healed, they think of the new teeth as a natural part of their own mouth.
- it leaves healthy neighbouring teeth alone
- it prevents bone loss
- looks natural both when smiling and when speaking
- it is a long-term solution
Unlike removable solutions, implants do not press, do not move and do not restrict ordinary activity. That means more comfort when eating, confidence when speaking and a more natural feel in daily life overall.
Safety and long-term reliability
Dental implants are a proven, safe solution that has been used in dentistry for decades. With proper planning, good execution and regular care their success rate is very high.
At Košice Dent we use modern diagnostic methods and precise planning to minimise risk and place implants accurately. Aftercare is an important part of it too, keeping implants in good condition for years.
Who dental implants suit
Dental implants suit most patients who have lost one or more teeth and want a long-term solution.
Every case is individual, however, so a professional examination is needed to assess the state of the bone and the overall conditions for placing an implant. During the consultation we explain all the options and recommend the most suitable course.

Price overviewInstalments
Treatment can be paid for in instalments
You do not have to pay for the treatment all at once. We work with Home Credit, so the cost can be spread over instalments.
With a larger plan — implants, a full reconstruction of the teeth or a new smile — the price is usually the first thing that stops people. We do not want it to be what decides whether you go through with the treatment.
You do not have to decide in advance. Ask about instalments at the consultation itself — along with the treatment plan we will go through what the conditions are and what you will need for it. If you would like to ask sooner, write to us or call.
Why patients choose dental implants
Dental implants are among the most sought-after answers to tooth loss today, because they combine function, appearance and long-term reliability.
Frequently asked questions
The procedure itself is done under local anaesthetic, so the patient feels no pain during it. Many patients are surprised that it is less unpleasant than they expected. Mild discomfort or swelling may follow, but it is temporary and can be managed with ordinary medication. Most patients are back to their usual activities within a few days.
Dental implants are a long-term way of replacing missing teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups they can last many years, often a lifetime. What matters most for their longevity is the patient's own care and the general health of the mouth.
Dental implants are made of biocompatible materials that the body accepts very well. The risk of rejection is very low, particularly where the procedure is properly planned and carried out. Following the aftercare instructions does a great deal for trouble-free healing.
