A natural tooth compared with an implant-supported restoration

Modelled on nature

Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth

Implants serve as artificial roots to which new teeth are attached. They take over the function of the natural roots and, like them, transfer chewing forces into the jawbone.

Fixed, implant-supported teeth are meant to feel like your own: they sit firmly and blend harmoniously with the teeth around them. Dentures, too, can be anchored securely.

Implants give dentures a secure hold when speaking, chewing and laughing

An independent portal for patients

Implantat-Berater is an independent information portal for patients interested in implant-supported restorations. Its aim is to inform patients seeking advice about the many possibilities of modern implantology. All content is free of advertising, written for patients and easy to understand.

Whether an implant-supported denture, a single-tooth solution, an implant-supported bridge or bone grafting – for every indication you will find precise, compact information free of advertising claims that raise false expectations.

What you will find here

The path through treatment

The topics range from diagnostics and treatment planning through placing the implants to the prosthetic options – explained step by step and in plain language.

Dental implantology is a form of rehabilitation with high, predictable prospects of success and a firm part of the treatment range of many dental practices.

For reference

The cost of implants is explained with examples. You will also find a glossary and, under Dental Knowledge, explanations of dental terms.

Under News we collect current reports from the press, and in the video library animated films illustrate this complex subject.

Technology

Digital diagnostics and guided implantology

Digital diagnostics and three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography open up reliable diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. They are the basis of guided implantology, which allows implants to be placed more gently.

Cone beam computed tomography can reduce how invasive a placement is and lower the risk of complications. It should not, however, be used routinely – it belongs in the cases where it genuinely adds knowledge.

The key points at a glance

  • Implants replace a single tooth, several gaps or an entirely edentulous jaw – fixed, or as a securely anchored denture.
  • Fixed, implant-supported teeth are meant to feel like your own; dentures can be anchored securely with them too.
  • Implantat-Berater is an independent, advertising-free portal and currently lists 452 practices working in implantology in 288 towns and cities.

Answered briefly

Frequently asked questions

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, usually made of titanium, that is placed in the jawbone. Once it has healed in, it carries a crown, a bridge or a denture.
For a single-tooth implant including the crown the cost is usually between 1,400 and 3,000 euros. Bone grafting or an immediate restoration increase the figure. What counts is the treatment and cost plan drawn up by your dentist.

The questions patients ask most

Three questions that come up in almost every consultation – answered briefly here.

Cross-section through a ceramic implant

Ceramic implants

The use of zirconium dioxide in implantology is relatively new. Because of its high flexural strength and dimensional stability it offers a restoration option of its own for patients sensitive to metal or radiation.

About implant materials
Examination at the dentist

Implants without pain

In most cases an individually adjusted local anaesthetic is enough for a pain-free procedure. Patient and dentist decide together which form of pain control is best.

Avoiding peri-implantitis

Like natural teeth, implants depend on good care. Where oral hygiene is inadequate the tissue around the implant can become inflamed – the most common cause of late complications.
