Dental implants – tooth replacement of the highest standard

There are many reasons for losing natural teeth. Whether one, several or all teeth have been lost, missing teeth affect quality of life. Speaking freely and laughing openly with a gap in the teeth is often difficult. Pain when chewing spoils the pleasure of eating what you feel like eating.

Implantology is regarded as the most advanced way to restore chewing comfort and function together with pleasing aesthetics. Following nature’s example, implants are used as artificial roots to anchor new teeth. The implants take over the function of the natural roots and, like them, transfer the forces into the jawbone. Fixed, implant-supported teeth are meant to feel like your own: they feel natural, sit firmly and blend harmoniously into the surrounding teeth. Dentures, too, can be anchored securely.

Solutions with implants

Social activities and personal contact suffer. Speaking freely and laughing heartily become almost impossible when a denture is not stable. Pain from pressure while chewing leads to a change of diet and to deficiencies. Limited food intake and the absence of loading – or incorrect loading – of the jawbone encourage bone loss.

Dental implants provide the stability needed to anchor a removable denture securely. The denture sits firmly in everyday use and can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning. Permanently screw-retained, implant-supported arches offer a maximum of aesthetics.

Frequently asked questions

Depending on the amount of bone available and the planned prosthetic solution, the row of teeth is screwed onto four to six implants. This restoration sits firmly and can only be removed again by a dentist. It requires enough bone; whether bone grafting is needed is decided by the treating dentist.
Both are possible. Aesthetically the fixed, screwed-in row of teeth is the most demanding solution, but it requires enough bone. After a longer period without teeth the bone has receded and usually the gums have too; a removable, implant-supported denture is then more likely to be recommended, and it also sits firmly when chewing and speaking.
When a denture is less stable, chewing causes pressure pain. Many of those affected therefore change their diet, which can lead to deficiencies. The reduced food intake and the missing or incorrect loading of the jawbone additionally encourage bone loss.
