Dental implants(Implantology)
A missing tooth can affect your oral health, your speech and your smile. Implantology, the branch of dentistry dedicated to dental implants, offers a ground-breaking way to replace lost teeth and bring your smile back.
What is implantology?
Implantology focuses on dental implants: titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone and act as artificial tooth roots. Replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges or dentures are then securely attached to these implants.
The benefits of dental implants
- A natural-looking, permanent solution: Implants replace lost teeth permanently. They improve the look of your smile and let you bite and chew as you would with natural teeth.
- Customised and versatile: Whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth or a full arch, implants are tailored to your needs.
- A durable investment: With proper care, implants can last for decades, which makes them a sound long-term investment in your dental health.
- Better oral health: Unlike conventional bridges, implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. Your natural teeth stay intact.
- More function and confidence: You can smile, speak and eat comfortably, without worrying about slipping dentures or unclear speech.
How implants are placed
The titanium posts are placed precisely in the jawbone during a surgical procedure. Through a process called osseointegration, the implants gradually fuse with the bone and form a stable anchor for the replacement teeth.
Full-mouth restoration
Implantology also offers a complete solution for restoring a whole set of teeth. With techniques such as All-on-4 and All-on-6, a full arch can be supported by fewer implants, which reduces both treatment time and cost.
Consultation and treatment planning
Careful assessment and planning are essential. During your consultation, your dentist will examine your oral health, discuss your goals and prepare a personalised treatment plan for the best possible result.
