Implants - a fixed dental restoration with artificial roots
An implant is an "artificial" dental root made out of titanium. It will be implanted in the jaw bone. There it will grow together with your bone material. Therefore it can carry dental lab work, like crowns, bridges or dentures.
Fixed setting , high biting comfort, optimum safety
It does not matter, if you have lost one, several or all teeth, implants offer a vast variety of solutions. Different implant sizes and shapes allow for perfect recreation of your natural biting pattern - as if nothing ever happened. In a lot of cases implants will be the ultimate solution to replace missing teeth. There are hardly any limits to the patients age. Also in case of accidental loss, especially for younger generations, it presents an advantage over a dental bridge or denture.
Implantology is a specialized field in dentistry.
Implants are placed under local anaesthesia or full anaesthesia in the jaw bone. It takes about 2-3 months until it has been fully absorbed by the bone. For this period you will receive a provisional restoration.
