If you’re considering going to a dentist clinic abroad for your teeth implants treatment, you’ve probably heard of the term implant passport. This article will explain everything you need to know about implant passports, what they are and whether you need one when visiting a dentist in Albania.
What is a dental implant passport?
The implant passport is a document which shows the type of intervention performed on the patient, the material used, the insertion date, the position of the implant in the oral cavity and every other detail such as system item codes and lot numbers. It is therefore a very important document attesting to the type of implants installed and the steps of intervention carried out. Receiving an implant passport from your clinic is a very important indicator of the quality of the work done.
Are dental implant passports mandatory?
Technically speaking clinics are not obliged to hand over the implant passport to the patient. The materials and medical devices they use must comply with EU quality standards from the perspective of their chemical and physical composition, and the environment must comply with health and hygiene regulations. However, a clinic operating according to the European Community quality standards ensures that the patient is provided with their implant passport, guaranteeing quality service.
If you are reading this article, you may have decided to entrust your dental treatment to an overseas clinic. Given the significant savings these clinics offer, this is a more than reasonable choice. Just make sure your chosen clinic guarantees a copy of your implant passport and is clear on how it is issued. CDC Tirana offers the best dental implants in Albania, and also a written lifetime warranty which of course, relies on the quality they provide.
Do you need an implant passport to get dental implants in Albania?
Often patients want to replace or restore implant dentures that were placed 10 or 15 years ago. This is not a problem unless they don’t have any idea on the brand of implants fitted. There are dozens of implant systems not compatible with one another, therefore, it is important to have information on your existing implants so that their durability, aftercare or restoration is manageable. Keep in mind that physicians/implants may retire, move, or hand over their duties to colleagues. This valuable information can be lost, greatly complicating long-term follow-up care. Losing this piece of information can turn a simple repair of a prosthesis into an investigation to find traces of the implants that have been inserted.
The following information should be asked when placing an implant: what is the brand and type of the implant, what is their diameter and connection type etc. Being provided with an implant passport the day when you get your implants done would be ideal and it would save you a lot of trouble in the future.
