| Single Tooth Replacement with dental
implant |
The dental implant is a screw-shaped buttress, which
replaces the natural dental root. The implant is inserted
in the jawbone, where it will be firmly embedded by
the bone after an average of 6-8 weeks. During this
healing phase, dental implants are usually not covered
by soft tissue, so a further surgical procedure is
not required when the crown is attached.
Dental implants are made from commercially pure titanium.
This material is integrated without complications
by the body’s tissues, no allergical rejection
reactions occur. Firm anchorage in the bone and harmonious
adaptation of the gum margin to the implant body result
in a solid foundation for reliable and long-lasting
dental substitution.
Restoring naturally beautiful, confident smiles means
more than just restoring teeth, it means restoring
and improving your quality of life. With dental implants,
chewing and speech are restored or improved, and a
permanent natural appearance is achieved. Whether
you are missing one or all of your teeth, implants
allow you to enjoy your favorite foods and have the
confidence you desire for an active professional and
social life. |
What conditions must be met for implantation?
Basic
requirements for implantation are an adequate bone
supply with regard to quality and volume, good oral
hygiene, and normal wound healing capacity. Before
implantation, the natural teeth are rehabilitated,
and any gum disease is treated and eliminated. Important
guarantees of long-term successful implantation
are conscientious oral hygiene and regular check-ups
with the dentist.

Single
Tooth Replacement
- Unlike bridges and dentures,
implants more closely mimic natural teeth
in appearance, feel and function.
- Unlike a conventional
three-unit bridge used to replace a single
tooth, the healthy adjacent teeth do not have
to be modified to support the bridge

An Implant is placed in bone and covered with
a protective cap while it is allowed to heal.
Depending on the amount of bone, your clinician
may need to do additional procedures to build
up the bone

The final step is to affix
a crown shaped and colored to match your surrounding
teeth. The finished result matches your natural
teeth. The entire implant procedure can be
completed in as little as two months, with
just three office visits |
