Dental implants are the most modern and durable solution for replacing missing teeth. An implant is a titanium screw that is placed in the jaw and serves as a root for a crown. The result looks and feels like your own tooth.
A dental implant consists of three parts: the titanium screw, the abutment and the crown. Titanium fuses with the jawbone through osseointegration — a biological bonding process that takes 3 to 6 months.
Implant placement is performed under local anaesthesia and is virtually painless. After a healing period of 3 to 6 months, the definitive crown can be attached. You can continue your daily activities during this period.
Most adults with sufficient jawbone are candidates for implants. Factors such as smoking, diabetes or certain medications can affect healing. We thoroughly assess your situation during an initial consultation.
With good oral hygiene, implants can last for decades. You brush and floss an implant just like your own teeth. Regular check-ups are important to monitor the health of the implant.
Our practice is equipped with a Vatech A9 scanner for advanced 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging. This allows us to create detailed three-dimensional images of your jaw, which is essential for accurate implant treatment planning.
In addition to panoramic X-rays, the CBCT scan provides a full 3D view of the jawbone, nerve pathways and surrounding structures. This significantly increases the safety and predictability of the treatment.
