Flexible options for implant-supported teeth

Implant single tooth

Implantology offers flexible solutions for individual needs. In most cases it makes it possible to provide patients with fixed teeth. The implants work like natural tooth roots: like them, they transfer the forces produced during chewing evenly into the jawbone. The bone is loaded in a healthy way and stays vital. Neighbouring teeth are not ground down or damaged, as would be necessary with a conventional bridge, so healthy tooth substance is preserved. Single tooth: in the visible area of the front teeth in particular, aesthetics are an important aspect. Implants make it possible to shape the gum perfectly, so that tooth and soft tissue form a harmonious whole. Partial dentition: even when several teeth are lost, implants allow the natural chewing situation to be restored. The size of the gap and the quality of the bone determine the number and position of the implants. Edentulous jaw: with regard to wearing comfort and quality of life, an implant-anchored removable denture is the treatment of first choice. For a jaw without teeth there are two options. First, removable implant-supported dentures do not slip and prevent pressure points; they sit firmly on their pillars, the implants. This anchorage spares patients the drawbacks of classic dentures, and the denture is taken out of the mouth for cleaning. Second, permanently fixed rows of teeth can finish flush with the gum and are the aesthetically more demanding solution.
