Dental implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing a single tooth, several teeth, or all the teeth of the upper or lower jaw.

Book a check-up
  1. 01

    First check-up and dental imaging

    We examine your mouth and take images of your teeth and jaw to assess your condition and make a treatment plan together.

  2. 02

    Implant placement

    The implant is placed in the jaw under local anaesthesia, followed by a healing period during which it fuses with the bone.

  3. 03

    Temporary restoration

    While the implant heals, you get a temporary tooth, so you look and function normally.

  4. 04

    Final restoration

    Once the implant has healed, we place the final crown, matched to your teeth in shape and colour.

Can anyone have an implant placed?

First of all, an analysis of the panoramic X-ray and an assessment by an oral surgeon are needed to determine whether the patient has enough jawbone for an implant. If so, one of the key conditions for placement has been met.

Smokers have a lower chance of the implant integrating with the jawbone, which is why we suggest quitting smoking to complete the treatment successfully.

When it comes to the patient’s age, the number of years does not play an important role in the treatment plan. What matters is that the patient is healthy, has no serious illnesses or bad habits, and that their blood count is within normal limits.

Replacing a single tooth with a single implant

An implant placed between two teeth is an excellent solution for replacing a lost tooth.

This dental solution preserves the structure of the jaw, stimulates the bone where the tooth is missing, prevents it from receding and keeps the surrounding teeth in the correct position.

The implant is independent of other teeth, and placing it does not require reshaping the neighbouring teeth.

An implant with a zirconia crown gives the look and feel of a natural tooth.

Replacing several teeth with two implants and a dental bridge

Dental implants combined with crowns are used to place dental bridges without reshaping the surrounding teeth!

A dental bridge on two or more implants is an excellent solution for replacing a larger number of teeth.

Implant healing time in the lower jaw is between 3 and 6 months.

Besides implant-supported bridges, we also recommend securing a full denture to the upper and lower jaw with implants and locators.

Full denture

Stabilising and securing a full denture on the lower jaw with two implants and two locators is a fantastic solution for people who have lost all of their teeth.

Stabilising and securing a full denture on the lower jaw

The treatment lets the denture attach firmly and securely to the jaw - this way we eliminate the problems of a denture that falls out, rubs or moves around in the mouth.

After this treatment there is no more chasing the denture around your mouth, or the awkward situations that happen while speaking or eating.

The two implants placed in the lower jaw give the denture outstanding stability.

The securing and stabilising treatment is done in a single visit to the clinic and takes 60 to 90 minutes.

Stabilising and securing a full denture on the upper jaw

Stabilising and securing a full denture on the upper jaw is done with 4 implants and 4 locators.

Everything is the same as when securing a denture on the lower jaw: you can remove the denture, clean it and maintain oral hygiene without any problems.

Thanks to the locators, the denture fits the upper jaw perfectly, irritation is reduced and there is none of the pain caused by full dentures.

The treatment is done in a single visit to the clinic and takes 60 to 90 minutes.

Conclusion

Implant placement is a painless treatment. Our patients say it is the same as having a tooth filled, it just takes a little longer.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what you ask most often

The answers are general in nature and do not replace a check-up. For advice tailored to you, get in touch with the clinic.

Is implant placement painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during it. Swelling and tenderness may appear afterwards, and they usually settle within the first few days with the recommended therapy.

How long does the whole process take?

Placing the implant itself takes a relatively short time, but the whole process is longer, because the implant has to fuse with the bone, which usually takes about 3 to 6 months. Until then a temporary tooth is worn if needed. You get the exact plan for your case after the check-up and imaging.

Can anyone have an implant?

Not always straight away. There needs to be enough bone and healthy gums, and healing is affected by general health, smoking and conditions such as diabetes. If there is not enough bone, additional preparation is sometimes done first. We make the assessment at the check-up.

How long do implants last?

With good hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last many years. Durability depends mostly on care, the condition of the gums and habits, such as smoking.

How are implants maintained?

The same as natural teeth: regular and careful brushing, cleaning between the teeth and check-ups with your dentist. Neglected hygiene can lead to inflammation around the implant.

What are the possible risks?

As with any surgical procedure, swelling, bruising, infection or failure of the implant to fuse are possible, although this rarely happens. That is why a careful assessment before the procedure and following the instructions afterwards are important.

Permanent solution

Fixed teeth on four or six implants

A solution for complete tooth loss in the upper jaw. The entire row of teeth is fixed on four or six implants, which provides stability, a natural look and comfort in everyday life.
