Dental implants in Astana
Options for replacing one or more teeth with dental implants.
Key points
Planning should cover more than the implant brand. The clinician evaluates bone, gums, bite, neighbouring teeth and the future crown or prosthesis. After diagnostics, the patient should receive alternatives, stages and an itemised estimate.
When to seek a consultation
- one tooth is missing and you want to avoid using neighbouring teeth as bridge supports
- several teeth are missing or a removable denture feels unstable
- a tooth is planned for extraction and replacement needs to be planned in advance
- you want to compare an implant, bridge and removable option
What the clinician checks
- clinical examination and clarification of symptoms
- assessment of bone, gums, bite and space for the future restoration
- X-ray or 3D imaging when clinically indicated
- comparison of treatment options, timing and limitations
Typical treatment stages
- consultation and initial diagnostics
- joint planning of the implant and final prosthetic restoration
- surgical and prosthetic stages according to the agreed plan
- follow-up, home care and the next-visit plan
Aftercare and follow-up
Follow-up depends on the surgical and restorative stages, healing and the planned restoration.
- keep the written instructions and the plan for your next visit
- use only products and medicines recommended for your situation
- ask which sensations are expected after your specific procedure
- contact the clinic if your condition unexpectedly worsens
How the tooth-replacement option is selected
The choice depends on the number of missing teeth, neighbouring teeth, bone, bite and daily care.
One missing tooth
An implant and crown are compared with a bridge.
Several teeth
The number of implants depends on the future restoration and load distribution.
A full arch
Fixed and removable options, All-on-4/5/6 and maintenance are compared.
What should be clear after consultation
- teeth that can be preserved are identified
- at least two comparable options are explained
- surgical and prosthetic stages are separated
- you understand the individual treatment plan and itemised estimate
How the cost is calculated
The implant price is not the total cost of a restored tooth. Diagnostics, surgery, components, the crown and possible bone augmentation may be priced separately.
Who provides treatment
implant surgeon and prosthodontist
Questions to ask at your consultation
- Does the estimate include the crown, a temporary tooth and follow-up visits?
- What alternatives are reasonable in my situation?
- What is included in each treatment stage and in the estimate?
Frequently asked questions
Are the implant and crown the same thing?
No. The implant is the support in bone; the crown restores the visible part of the tooth.
Is bone grafting always required?
No. The need is determined after examination and 3D imaging.
What should I bring to consultation?
Bring previous CBCT or panoramic images, treatment plans and a list of relevant medicines if available.
What exactly is included in the price?
The implant price is not the total cost of a restored tooth. Diagnostics, surgery, components, the crown and possible bone augmentation may be priced separately.
