Dental Implants in Klaipėda

A dental implant is a titanium screw that replaces the natural root of a tooth. It is placed into the jawbone, fuses to it over a few months (osseointegration) and becomes the foundation for a crown, a bridge or a full denture. An implant lets you replace a missing tooth without needing to grind down the neighbouring teeth, as would happen with a bridge.

At Miško Clinic we choose classic implantology, not the rushed 'teeth in a day' approach. After a tooth is removed we wait on average 4 months for good-quality bone to form, and only then place the implant.

After the implant is placed we again wait up to 4 months, and only then fit the crown. This path is slower but far more reliable in the long term.

The surgical part (placing the implant itself) is carried out by oral and maxillofacial surgeon Donatas Kubilius, who has extensive experience in this field. In complex cases (lack of bone, sinus lift) he performs bone augmentation.

Once the implant has integrated, the crown or other restoration on it is completed by the clinic's dentist, Dr Lauras Smilgevičius. We use two trusted implant makers: Osstem (South Korea) and Straumann (Switzerland).

How much does one implant with a crown cost?

The total for one tooth on an implant is the sum of three items on our price list: the implant, the healing abutment and the zirconia ceramic crown with a standard abutment.

• Osstem: 550 € (implant) + 70 € (healing abutment) + 500 € (crown with abutment) = 1,120 €
• Straumann Roxolid SLA: 650 € (implant) + 80 € (healing abutment) + 550 € (crown with abutment) = 1,280 €

This is a sum of price-list items, not a fixed package price. The consultation (30 €), an X-ray and, if needed, a 3D CBCT scan are not included in this sum, nor are bone augmentation or a sinus lift (500 €) if you need them: this depends on your case and becomes clear after the scans. We agree the full amount in advance and set it out in your written treatment plan, and larger treatment can be split into stages and paid after each visit.

When all your teeth are missing

When no teeth remain in the jaw, a whole arch can be restored with implants. A fixed prosthesis can be held on 4 to 6 implants (All-on-4, All-on-6), while 2 implants with locators hold a removable denture firmly in place. On our price list a fixed prosthesis on implants costs 3,500–5,000 € (metal-ceramic) or 4,000–6,000 € (zirconia), and a removable denture on two implants (locators) costs 900 €. These are prosthesis prices: we draw up the full estimate, including the implants, after a consultation and a 3D CBCT scan. You can read how this treatment is planned on our full-arch dental implants page.

For the first few hours after implant placement, use a cold compress on the outside to reduce swelling. On average swelling peaks on day 2 or 3 and settles on its own within 5 to 7 days. Any pain is mild and controlled with simple medicines (ibuprofen, paracetamol).

• Do not chew on the operated side during the first week.
• Eat soft, lukewarm food and avoid anything hot or spicy.
• Do not rinse vigorously for the first day; from the second day use a gentle antiseptic rinse (chlorhexidine).
• Keep brushing your teeth, but avoid the operated area for the first days, then clean it very gently.
• Avoid smoking for at least 2 weeks: it significantly impairs implant healing.
• Postpone exercise for 1 to 2 weeks.
• Take antibiotics and other medicines as instructed.

Over 3 to 4 months the implant integrates into the bone. After that you return for the crown to be made. We describe what to expect in the first week, the first month and the first six months in our article on dental implant healing.

Once the final restoration is fitted, regular professional dental hygiene every 6 months matters so the implant lasts for decades. You can see all implant prices in the price list.
