Dental Implants in Tbilisi: Brands, Timelines, Prices (₾)

Missing teeth affects how you chew, smile, and even how your jawbone ages. Dental implants restore function and confidence with a long-term solution that feels natural. In this guide, you’ll compare major implant brands used in Tbilisi, understand healing timelines, see typical prices in GEL (₾), and learn when grafting or sinus lift is recommended—so you can book a well-informed visit with our team.

Are implants right for me? Benefits, risks & success rates

What implants are. Dental implants are titanium (or Ti-Zr) roots placed in the jaw; after osseointegration (bone fusing), they support an abutment and a crown. The ADA explains that osseointegration “takes time—up to several months,” though some cases can be restored sooner. mouthhealthy.org

Success & survival. Modern implants show ~90–95% 10-year survival in healthy patients, per peer-reviewed summaries and systematic reports. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Professional bodies cite overall success around 95%, backed by decades of research. AAOMS Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons

Risks and modifiers.

• Smoking increases risk of infection and failure and slows healing; multiple clinical and review sources advise cessation before and after surgery. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+1

• Immediate vs delayed loading: some meta-analyses note slightly lower survival with immediate loading overall, while others show comparable outcomes in carefully selected cases with high primary stability—so case selection is key. ScienceDirect+1

When grafting or sinus lift is needed. If the upper back jaw lacks height, a sinus augmentation may be recommended; professional guidance places typical healing before implant placement at 4–12 months, depending on graft volume and technique. American Academy of Periodontology

Implant brands you’ll see in Tbilisi (what’s the difference?)

Tbilisi clinics commonly work with reputable systems; below is a plain-English snapshot (features from manufacturer literature + independent biomechanics evidence where noted):

Straumann (Roxolid®, SLActive®)

• Material: Ti-Zr alloy (Roxolid) with higher mechanical strength than grade-4 titanium; enables reduced-diameter implants in select cases. Straumann

• Surface: SLActive® hydrophilic surface for faster early healing potential (manufacturer data). Straumann

• Use when: Narrow ridges, high strength needs, premium workflows.

Nobel Biocare (NobelActive)

• Design: Expanding tapered body and cutting apex for high primary stability in soft bone or extraction sockets; supports immediate placement/function in indicated cases. Nobel Biocare+1

• Use when: Immediate protocols, esthetic zone, softer bone.

MegaGen (AnyRidge)

• Design: KnifeThread® and variable thread depth to enhance stability and preserve crestal bone in a range of bone densities. imegagen.com+1

• Use when: Soft bone, ridge preservation, strong primary stability goals.

MIS Seven

• Design: Platform switching and internal hex connection; platform switching is associated with less crestal bone loss vs non-switched designs. mis-implants.com

• Use when: Broad indications with tissue preservation priority.

Clinical note: Primary stability depends on bone density, implant macro-geometry and surgical technique; it is a mechanical outcome, not a brand guarantee. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Timeline & healing: extraction → osseointegration → crown

Standard pathway:

1. Consultation & imaging (CBCT).

2. Implant placement (local anesthesia).

3. Osseointegration: commonly 3–6 months (mandible often shorter than maxilla). Authoritative sources place the window at “several months,” with many clinics quoting 3–6 months for typical cases. mouthhealthy.org+1

4. Abutment + crown after integration (with temporaries as needed).

Immediate or early loading: In selected cases with high primary stability, a temporary crown can be attached earlier. Some evidence shows slightly lower survival overall vs conventional loading; others, in strict indications, show comparable results—discuss risks/benefits with your surgeon. ScienceDirect

If you need bone graft/GBR or a sinus lift:

• Socket/ridge grafts (GBR) often mature in 4–6 months before implant placement. Westpark Periodontics

• Sinus lift (lateral/crestal) commonly heals 4–9 (up to 12) months before implant or loading, depending on volume and technique. Cambridge University Hospitals

Prices in Tbilisi (₾): what affects the quote

Typical local ranges (single implant + abutment + crown):

• Aggregated listings and regional guides show ~₾1,700–₾4,500+ equivalent, depending on brand, lab ceramics, and case complexity (converted from EUR/USD ranges). Examples include:

  • Ultradent listings from ₾855 (implant component only; crown extra). ultradent.ge

  • Richters Clinic page noting implants “from ₾1000” and zirconia crowns on implants from ₾850.

  • International comparators list EUR 700–1,500 for implant+abutment+crown in Tbilisi (≈ ₾2,100–₾4,500 at ~₾3.0/€). https://www.dentaldepartures.com

What changes your price: 3D imaging, brand tier (e.g., Straumann vs value systems), grafts/membranes, healing caps/temporaries, anesthesia/sedation, and the final crown type (zirconia vs metal-ceramic).

Tip: Ask for an itemized estimate: surgical (fixture), prosthetic (abutment), lab (crown), imaging, and any grafting. It makes apples-to-apples comparison easy.

Step-by-step: how implant treatment works

1. Consult & CBCT. Medical history, jawbone mapping, smile goals.

2. Plan & consent. Discuss brands, timelines, loading protocol, and costs.

3. Surgery (day 0). Atraumatic site prep; implant placed; sutures.

4. Healing (weeks 1–2). Soft tissue settles; follow hygiene and diet advice.

5. Osseointegration (up to months 3–6). Reviews as scheduled. mouthhealthy.org

6. Abutment & impressions/scans.

7. Crown delivery. Occlusion checked; hygiene instructions.

8. Maintenance. 6-month recalls; professional implant cleaning.

Compare options: implant vs bridge vs partial denture

Option	Pros	Cons	Typical Longevity*
Implant + crown	Preserves bone; no drilling of neighbors; strong chewing	Surgery; longer timeline; higher upfront cost	10+ years with care (many last far longer) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Fixed bridge	Faster; no surgery	Requires shaving adjacent teeth; harder hygiene	7–10 years typical
Removable partial	Lowest cost; quick	Less comfort/stability; bone continues to resorb	5–7 years typical

*Indicative; individual outcomes vary.

FAQ

Q1. How long do dental implants take from start to finish?

Most single-tooth cases run 3–6 months from placement to final crown due to osseointegration, though immediate/early restorations are possible in selected cases. mouthhealthy.org

Q2. Are immediate implants as reliable as conventional ones?

In carefully selected cases with excellent primary stability, outcomes can be comparable; however, some meta-analyses report slightly lower survival overall vs conventional loading. Your surgeon will advise based on bone and bite. ScienceDirect

Q3. What if I need a sinus lift?

Expect 4–12 months of healing before implant placement or loading, depending on graft volume and technique. American Academy of Periodontology

Q4. Do brands really matter?

Yes—materials, surface tech, and macro-design differ. For example, Straumann Roxolid (Ti-Zr) offers higher mechanical strength than pure titanium; NobelActive focuses on high primary stability in soft bone; AnyRidge uses KnifeThread for stability; MIS Seven emphasizes platform switching. Your clinician matches brand to your case. mis-implants.com+3Straumann+3Nobel Biocare

Q5. How much do implants cost in Tbilisi?

Ballpark ranges for implant+abutment+crown often fall around ₾2,100–₾4,500+, varying by brand and complexity; some listings start lower when priced per component. Always request an itemized estimate. ultradent.ge

Q6. Is smoking a dealbreaker?

Not always, but it raises failure risk and slows healing. Most surgeons recommend quitting before and after surgery. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Q7. How long do implants last?

With good hygiene and reviews, implants can last many years; 10-year survival around 90–95% is widely reported in healthy patients. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
