Dental Implant Treatment

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. The implant serves as an artificial tooth root on which a crown, bridge, or denture is attached. Dental implants offer a permanent and natural-looking solution for tooth loss.

Benefits of dental implants

• Natural appearance — Implants look and feel like your own teeth
• Long-lasting solution — With proper care, implants last a lifetime
• Jawbone preservation — Implants prevent bone loss in the jaw
• Comfortable eating — Eat again without restrictions or discomfort
• No damage to adjacent teeth — Unlike bridges, neighbouring teeth don't need to be filed down

The treatment process

Step 1: Free consultation

During the first consultation, our specialists assess your oral situation using digital scans and X-rays. We discuss your wishes and create a personal treatment plan with transparent cost indication.

Step 2: Implant placement

The implant screw is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Thanks to our digital anaesthesia technique, this procedure is virtually painless. The procedure takes an average of 30 to 60 minutes per implant.

Step 3: Healing period

After placement, the implant needs 3 to 6 months to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). During this period, you wear a temporary restoration.

Step 4: Crown placement

Once the implant is fully integrated, a custom-made crown is placed. The end result is a tooth that looks natural and functions normally.
