Dental Implants in Sibiu — Dr. Timonea Dental Practice
Private implantology practice in Sibiu, Romania. CBCT-driven 3D digital treatment planning, biocompatible titanium implants, personalized treatment plan after the initial consultation. Led by Dr. Valentin D. Timonea (DMD, DDS), implantologist.
What a dental implant is
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium root inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone under local anesthesia. A ceramic crown is later fixed onto the implant, replicating the look and function of a natural tooth. Modern implantology has turned tooth-loss rehabilitation into a predictable procedure with osseointegration success rates exceeding 95%.
Treatment stages
- Initial consultation and imaging. Clinical examination, panoramic X-ray or 3D CBCT, bone-volume assessment, discussion of options.
- Digital planning. Each implant position is planned virtually on the CBCT dataset before surgery.
- Implant placement. Under local anesthesia, typically 30–60 minutes for a single implant.
- Osseointegration. 3–4 months of biological integration between the implant and bone.
- Final crown. Made of full-ceramic or zirconia, attached to the implant through an abutment.
- Recall visits. Annual check-ups to assess tissue health and crown integrity.
Indications
- Replacement of a single tooth without grinding down the neighbouring teeth (an alternative to a conventional bridge).
- Restoration of a multi-tooth gap.
- Full edentulism — fixed or implant-supported removable prosthetic rehabilitation.
- Stabilization of an existing complete removable denture.
Preoperative workup
A sound implant plan starts with a complete assessment: general health, periodontal status, bone volume and density, and the relationship to neighbouring anatomic structures (maxillary sinus, inferior alveolar nerve). For complex cases we rely on CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography), a 3D modality that enables precise digital planning of the implant position.
Severe bone atrophy. When the available bone volume does not allow placement of conventional endosseous implants and the patient prefers to avoid bone grafting, we also evaluate custom subperiosteal implants — a digitally designed, 3D-fabricated titanium frame, a sub-specialty of the practice.
What a dental implant costs in Sibiu
The total cost of a dental implant depends on the implant system, whether bone grafting is required, the type of abutment and crown (full-ceramic, zirconia, metal-ceramic), and the total number of implants planned. We do not publish a single headline price online, because an honest treatment plan needs a full clinical and radiographic assessment.
After the initial consultation and CBCT, you receive a written, personalized treatment plan with a transparent quote — to review at home before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium root inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone under local anesthesia. A ceramic crown is later fixed onto the implant, replicating the look and function of a natural tooth.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Implant placement itself typically takes 30–60 minutes. It is followed by 3–4 months of osseointegration, after which the final crown is fitted. In selected cases an immediate provisional crown can be placed at the time of surgery.
How much does a dental implant cost in Sibiu, Romania?
Cost depends on the implant system, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of crown. At Dr. Timonea Dental Practice you receive a written, personalized treatment plan with a transparent quote after the initial consultation and radiographic workup.
Is dental implant placement painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is not painful during surgery. Postoperative discomfort is usually mild and is managed with standard analgesics, per the surgeon's instructions.
How long does a dental implant last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a dental implant can function for decades, often for life. Modern implants exceed a 95% success rate.
