An artificial root that works like a natural one.

A dental implant is a small but strong post made from biocompatible metals or ceramics. Under local anesthetic, it is inserted into the jaw bone in place of the missing tooth root and acts as a support for the tooth.

The healing phase is between 6 and 12 weeks depending on the individual medical situation. During this period the implant becomes securely attached to the jaw bone – a process called osseointegration. Once healed, this artificial root acts as a base for fixing individual crowns, multi-tooth bridges, or an entire dental prosthesis.

Contrary to what you might think, conventional dentures are not always cost-effective.
The initial outlay for dental implant treatment varies on how many implants are needed and if bone augmentation is required. Other factors include the surgery itself, lab work, the prosthesis and the dentist’s and dental technician’s fees.
A cost plan will be developed only when all of these aspects have been addressed, and in some cases, dental implants may be more economical in the long term.
Dental implants are generally inserted under local anesthetic to help minimize discomfort. Afterwards, patients commonly take simple painkillers for a day or so. If you experience any doubts about the condition of the implant site after the procedure, please make sure to consult with your dentist.
According to a survey carried out with 10,000 patients in Germany (Riegl Survey 6), 67 % of those questioned were “very happy” with their implant-supported restorations and 31% were “happy.” Of patients with conventional restorations, only 42% claimed to be “very happy” while 44% said they were “happy”.
