Implantology
artificial tooth roots
Very good long-term prognosis
Absolutely harmless to health
High-quality dentures for lost teeth
High wearing comfort and aesthetics
indistinguishable from natural teeth
With good oral hygiene, high-quality implants can fulfill their function until the end of the user's life. Depending on the individual scope of treatment and your personal wishes, implantations are carried out under local anesthesia, rarely under general anesthesia. The lower part of the implant is modeled on a screw similar to a tooth root. The dentist only anchors this in the jaw. The upper part of the workpiece is intended to carry the visible, actual tooth replacement, which will be as resilient as the natural tooth was before once it has finally healed.
In general, the procedure, which is usually performed on an outpatient basis, is a safe, often proven and very well tolerated treatment method. The treatment procedure is carried out in a sterile environment and takes between 20 minutes and two hours, depending on the extent and/or degree of difficulty. Usually after the healing process is complete, a bridge, crown or, if necessary, a fastening element for removable or fixed dentures is screwed onto the artificial tooth roots. The visible dental crown is visually indistinguishable from a natural tooth and the color is matched to the remaining teeth. Implants are the most durable and reliable solution to many dental problems.

With good oral hygiene, regular preventive care, and professional maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. They are made of highly biocompatible materials (such as titanium) that fuse firmly with the jawbone and provide an extremely secure foundation for your dental prosthesis.

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the implantation. Even after the treatment, any mild discomfort can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Even if the jawbone has receded over the years, implant placement is usually still possible. Through a gentle, minimally invasive bone grafting procedure (augmentation), we can strengthen the foundation again so that the implant is securely and permanently anchored.
