Implanatology is a field of dentistry that deals with replacing missing teeth using dental implants. An implant is a small titanium or ceramic screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone and serves as a solid foundation for a crown, bridge, or removable denture.
This approach allows for:
Implantation is suitable for patients with:
Implantation is not performed in patients with untreated periodontitis, active infection in the jaw area, severe osteoporosis, uncontrolled diabetes, or heavy smoking without appropriate risk management.
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.
