Do you want a third tooth? Dental implants are not a rarity anymore, the popularity of implantology as a specific branch of dentistry has been increasing in recent years. Artificial replacement of missing teeth may be a solution for you too!
Losing teeth over the course of a lifetime is not an isolated occurrence. You can lose a tooth or a straight part of a tooth through old age, tooth decay, periodontal disease or other illness, or through an accident or trauma - and it is no tragedy. The aesthetic and health aspects are perfectly masked by modern dental implants.
A dental implant is a replacement for a lost tooth and is used when one or more teeth are lost, or when the entire jaw is reconstructed. It is a progressive method of inserting a titanium screw into the bone of the jaw, which is then fitted with prosthetic work (crown, bridge or denture). The implant thus effectively replaces the function of the original tooth root. A sufficient bone quality is a prerequisite for the insertion of a dental implant.
Unlike removable dentures, a dental implant is permanently fixed in the jawbone. It replaces the real teeth both sensationally and functionally and does not require any special treatment.
In the case of dental implants, the most common motivation is the aesthetic aspect. The teeth gain symmetry and any speech defects associated with missing teeth are resolved. From now on, you will be smiling all day!
Implantation of a single dental implant takes 15-30 minutes and is performed under local anaesthesia.
Many years of experience have shown that the human body reacts favourably to titanium implants and the bone tissue adheres well to the implant. Thus, pain should not occur after the dental implant is placed.
The screw will soon fuse spontaneously with the bone and you will have the feeling of your own teeth even with the implants.
The premise of a dental implant is that your titanium dentures will last as long as your bone will. However, careful attention to oral hygiene is necessary.
The price of a dental implant and the complexity of the entire procedure depends on the individual condition of your teeth and the brand of implants that our experienced dentists recommend to "tailor" each case. We introduce dental implants from Straumann, Dentis.
