A dental implant replaces the lost tooth root and forms a firm foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. Before every procedure we plan the ideal implant position digitally on the basis of three-dimensional X-ray images (CBCT). Using an individually manufactured drilling template we transfer this planning into the procedure with millimetre precision (guided surgery).
Our approach
The digital, template-guided approach supports safety and precision, protects the surrounding tissue and facilitates planning of the aesthetic result. Even when bone volume is limited, a suitable solution can often be found – for example through targeted bone augmentation.
Benefits
- Firm, natural-looking tooth replacement
- 3D planning for the optimal implant position
- Template-guided, tissue-preserving surgery
- Individual prosthetic restoration from a single source
Indications
- Loss of single or multiple teeth
- Teeth no longer worth preserving
- Loose-fitting dentures
- Desire for fixed tooth replacement
Procedure
- 3D diagnostics (CBCT) and digital planning
- Bone augmentation for a stable implant site if required
- Template-guided implant placement under local anaesthesia
- Healing phase and integration of the final crown or bridge
Aftercare
Directly after the procedure, rest, soft food and cooling are advisable; antiseptic rinses support healing. We monitor the wound closely and accompany you through the entire healing phase.
FAQ
Is placing an implant painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is usually low in pain. Any discomfort afterwards can be managed well with medication.
How long until the finished crown?
Depending on bone quality and any augmentation, it usually takes a few weeks to months from placement to the final restoration.
How long does an implant last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last many years. However, no guarantee can be given, as longevity depends on individual factors.
