Dental Implants

What to expect

Dental implants are a treatment aimed at replacing missing teeth using dental implants that serve as a substitute for the tooth root. On top of the implant, the tooth can be permanently restored, restoring chewing function and aesthetic appearance in a natural, balanced way. The treatment provides stable long-term restoration, tailored to the jaw structure and individual needs of each patient.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

The treatment suits patients suffering from one or more missing teeth, or who need extensive restoration of the mouth. In many cases, implants offer a more permanent and comfortable solution compared to removable options. Suitability for treatment is determined after a comprehensive exam of the condition of the teeth, gums, and bone, and according to general health status.

What the treatment process looks like

Treatment begins with a thorough diagnosis including a clinical exam, imaging, and sometimes a 3D scan for precise planning of implant placement. Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan is built, addressing bone condition, restoration type, and the stages of the procedure. Next, the implant is inserted into the jawbone through a controlled surgical process. After a healing period, during which the implant integrates with the bone, the restoration stage takes place, including fitting the abutment and crown that complete the missing tooth. Throughout the process, professional monitoring is maintained, to ensure proper integration of the implant and a stable result.
