A dental implant is a modern and highly reliable solution for replacing a missing tooth. It is a titanium or ceramic “screw” that is inserted into the jawbone and replaces the root of the original tooth. A crown is then attached to the implant, which looks and functions like a natural tooth. This makes implants a stable, aesthetic, and long-lasting way to restore teeth.
Dental implants are recommended for the loss of one or more teeth, provided that the jawbone is sufficiently strong and healthy. They are suitable for patients who want a fixed and comfortable solution without the need to grind down adjacent teeth. Implants can serve as a replacement for a single tooth, support for a bridge, or stabilization for a removable denture.
Compared to traditional bridges or removable dentures, implants offer a number of advantages. They do not damage adjacent teeth, look very natural, and allow for full chewing function. They also have a preventive effect – by transferring chewing pressure, they help maintain bone volume, which would otherwise decrease after tooth loss. Implants are also highly biocompatible, heal well, and last for many years with proper care.
Once the implant has successfully healed and the crown has been fitted, it is a very stable and long-lasting solution. Regular home hygiene and professional care at the dentist’s office are important. Check-ups and cleaning help keep the surrounding tissues healthy and extend the life of the implant. For many patients, implants are the most natural way to restore their smile and dental function.
Bone grafting / bone augmentation (sinus lift and others)
Bone grafting/bone augmentation – a sinus lift is a surgical procedure that increases bone volume. It allows for the safe placement of a dental implant where there is insufficient bone. The procedure promotes implant stability and long-term treatment success.
Dental implant (without crown)
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone in place of a missing tooth. It serves as a stable foundation for a future crown, bridge, or removable denture. The implant ensures that the replacement is firmly anchored and provides long-term stability.
Temporary crown
A temporary crown is a temporary replacement for a tooth that is placed after the tooth has been prepared and protects it until the permanent crown is ready. It maintains the correct shape and function of the tooth, aids in chewing, and protects the gums. It serves as a temporary solution and allows the patient to wait comfortably for the final crown.
Crown for implant
An implant crown is a permanent tooth replacement that is placed on a titanium implant inserted into the jawbone. It restores the shape, function, and aesthetics of the missing tooth. The crown is firmly fixed and behaves like a natural tooth, allowing for trouble-free chewing and speaking.
