As strong as your own teeth!

Whether implants, i.e. artificial tooth roots, are inserted into the jaw in place of missing teeth or a so-called bridge has to replace the gap in missing teeth - we devote ourselves to your dental problems with dedication and can even replace several teeth at once.

Dental implants -
secure hold for your
quality of life in everyday life.

With the most modern crowned implants we make sure that your dental prosthesis feels like your own teeth. You won't feel any difference, you simply won't feel any difference and you won't be able to see any difference. Your new implants are artificial tooth roots that we insert into your jaw in place of missing teeth. They are usually made of titanium which is well tolerated by the body and can replace single or multiple teeth.

Your dental implant advantages with us:

Secure hold (also and especially if several teeth are missing)
Implants avoid jaw regression
Relieves and protects remaining teeth
High load capacity and durability in everyday life
Natural appearance and natural tooth feel through crowning

Bridges -
as an adaptable alternative.

There are patients for whom implants are out of the question for medical reasons. These include, for example, some smokers, some diabetics or people with relevant general diseases. If an implant is out of the question for you, we can of course also offer the construction of bridges. In case of loss of many teeth, removable dentures remain an alternative. But whether and how a treatment is advantageous for you is best clarified during your personal consultation.

Questions and answers

Below you will find the most frequently asked questions about dental implants.

What are implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone to replace lost teeth.

They support single crowns or bridges and they can securely anchor removable dentures (partial or complete dentures) again or replace them with completely fixed teeth. Dental implants have been used for several decades and are now a proven treatment method for restoring chewing function.

They are made of titanium or ceramic. Implants are tissue-friendly and form a firm bond with the bone. Their shape is cylindrical (with or without screw thread) and their length is 8-16 mm and their diameter approx. 3-5 mm, depending on the requirements.

There are so-called one-piece and two-piece implants: The one-piece implants consist of a post that protrudes from the gum after implantation. The crown of the tooth is attached to this post.

With two-part systems, the implant first grows in under the gum. After the healing phase, the implant is exposed. Then a abutment is inserted into the implant, which protrudes above the gum. Crowns, bridges or removable dentures are then attached to this abutment.

What do dental implants cost?

This question can not be answered in a general way. The price understandably depends on the number, the effort, the difficulty and the demands of the patient.

In any case, you will receive an in-depth consultation and a detailed treatment and cost plan before treatment begins.

Private insurers usually reimburse the costs according to the contractual agreement. Statutory health insurance companies pay a subsidy for the dentures (crowns, bridges, prostheses) that are placed on the implants, but not for the implants themselves.

Consider this when making your decision for implants: The financial outlay appears in a different light when implants significantly enhance your quality of life and health.

How long do implants last?

In principle, implants can last a lifetime. Studies have shown that after 10 years, about 95 percent of the implants were still firm.

By the way: There is no upper age limit for an implant restoration. Especially in old age, implants can significantly improve the quality of life and health, because they allow normal and strong chewing again.

The durability of implants also depends to a large extent on how they are cared for. Just as with your own natural teeth, regular and careful oral care at home is necessary.

In addition, there are regular check-ups by the dentist and professional dental cleanings in the practice.

When to choose dental implants?

For gaps between teeth: Single or several missing teeth can be replaced by an implant with a crown. This saves having to grind down the neighbouring teeth for a bridge. For missing back teeth: Instead of a removable partial denture, fixed implants with crowns or bridges can be made here. It is as if you had your own teeth again.

For complete dentures: There are two possibilities here:

Man kann schlechtsitzende Prothesen (vor allem im Unterkiefer) mit Implantaten so gestalten, dass sie wieder gut und sicher halten.
6 - 8 implants are placed per jaw and so-called bridges are attached to them. This means that the removable prosthesis can be dispensed with altogether and you have completely fixed teeth again.
