DENTAL IMPLANT

A beautiful smile and well-groomed white teeth inevitably trigger a feeling of sympathy in the other person. This is because healthy teeth are associated with health and vitality. The absence of teeth can be felt all the more disturbing, as it inevitably has a negative impact on everyone's overall impression.

The absence of teeth or a tooth can be caused by various reasons, such as genetic predisposition (e.g. the absence of permanent teeth), malnutrition, an accident, or a poor dental care. For those affected, it often means avoiding laughing and speaking, as well as having serious consequences for self-confidence.

A denture using a dental implant is a suitable method to permanently fill the missing tooth gap and thus regain the quality of life.

For outsiders, the dental prosthesis cannot be distinguished from a natural tooth by means of a dental implant. For this reason, implantology has become an essential part of dentistry.

For Whom is an Dental Implant Suitable and How is it Performed?

With the current state of research and technology, the two-piece dental implant is often used. In a first step, the dental implant, which usually consists of high-purity titanium, since no allergic or rejection reactions are to be expected, is anchored in the jawbone through a defined hole. This is followed by a healing period of 3-6 months, which is intended to ensure that the jawbone grows firmly around the implant.

Bone augmentation should also be considered for some patients, since a long period of edentulism, periodontitis or inflammatory processes could have led to a decline in the jawbone and thus jeopardize the secure anchoring of the implant.

PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is a new method that can be used to accelerate initial wound healing. With a blood collection, endogenous factors, fibrin and blood platelets can be obtained by a centrifugation process of the blood. These number of cells and growth factores are being used in a concentrated form for the bone formation.

Since this accelerates ingrowth and at the same time bone formation can be supported regeneratively, faster healing is achieved. After the healing period, the artificial tooth (the crown) is put on in a second step.
