Implantology

Implantology

Dental implants are artificial roots which grow to establish a firm hold in the jawbone. Any quantity of lost teeth can be replaced in this way.
After a certain healing period, which generally takes three months, new teeth can be attached to these artificial roots.
These are barely distinguishable from real teeth in terms of their appearance and functions.

They also feel perfectly comfortable, as the irritation which is often caused by conventional dentures is absent here.
Implants are fitted in the jaw under local or general anaesthetic, depending on the number of implants to be fitted and the patient's personal preferences. We ensure that the fitting process is totally pain-free in all cases.
Our patients undergoing implantation do not require to be hospitalised and are able to resume their normal activities shortly after the operation.
For wearers of full dentures, a small number of implants are sufficient to improve the fit of the dentures substantially, leading to a vast improvement in the quality of life.

Presentation of the implantation process

To enable implants to be anchored permanently in the jawbone, adequate bone material must be available. If the available jawbone is too weak or insufficient bone is available at the implantation site, the jawbone has to be "built up". This is carried out by means of artificial bone replacement materials or the patient's own bone material.
Depending on the individual situation, this grafting process may take place at the time of fitting the implants or in a preliminary operation.

The implantation of artificial tooth roots is always preceded by a careful, in-depth examination, in the course of which the available bone material is assessed and the appropriate implant is determined according to the individual findings.

Implants offer the most modern, hi-tech means of acquiring "new teeth" - the "cutting edge" of modern dentistry, as it were.
In principle, any dentist may fit implants. Highly qualified specialists, such as Masters of Science, possess the necessary knowledge and experience to ensure ideal treatments every time, however.
