What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium that is surgically placed in the jawbone. A crown is then attached to the implant, which looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Benefits of dental implants
- Permanent solution - Implants can last a lifetime with proper care
- Preserves jawbone - Prevents bone loss that occurs with missing teeth
- Natural appearance - Looks and feels like your own teeth
- Does not affect other teeth - Unlike bridges
How does the treatment work?
Step 1: Examination and planning
We conduct a thorough examination with X-rays to assess if you are suitable for implants.
Step 2: Implantation
The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes per implant.
Step 3: Healing time
The implant needs time to fuse with the bone, usually 3-6 months.
Step 4: Abutment and crown
Once the implant has healed, an abutment is mounted and then the final crown.
