Dental implants
Replacement of missing teeth using dental implants. This section covers implant placement, bone preparation and healing abutments; crowns and bridges are listed under prosthodontics.
About Service
An implant is a support placed in the jawbone. A separate crown or prosthesis replaces the visible tooth, so these stages should be distinguished when planning treatment.
Assessment considers the jawbone, gums, general health, oral hygiene and relevant risk factors. Bone augmentation may be needed when bone volume is insufficient; suitability and sequencing are determined after examination.
Important considerations
- Implant treatment involves surgical risks and the possibility of failed integration. Successful healing does not remove the need for cleaning and reviews.
Information helps prepare for a consultation and does not replace an individual diagnosis. The dentist determines the procedure, materials and timing after assessment.
Service Types
Dental implant placement
Creating support for a future crown or prosthesis where a tooth is missing. MegaGen and Straumann implant systems are available; selection follows assessment of the clinical situation.
Bone augmentation for dental implants
Increasing bone volume when it is insufficient for the chosen implant treatment. Assessment determines whether augmentation is needed, its extent and the order of treatment stages.
Healing abutments for dental implants
Components used during healing and preparation for implant restoration. A healing abutment is not a definitive crown or a complete replacement tooth.
Indications
- One or more missing teeth where implant treatment is clinically suitable.
- A need for support for a crown or dental prosthesis.
Contraindications
- Insufficient bone or active tissue disease may require treatment before implant placement.
- Smoking, inadequate oral hygiene and certain medical conditions increase complication risks and require individual assessment.
Advantages
- An option for restoring chewing function with implant support.
- Restorative options ranging from one crown to a prosthesis supported by several implants.
