Dental Implants
Implants are the most natural form of tooth replacement. An artificial root, firmly anchored in the jaw — as if the tooth was never lost.

When Do Implants Make Sense?
When a tooth can't be saved or is already missing, an implant offers the best solution. Unlike a bridge, no neighbouring teeth need to be ground down. The implant stands on its own — like a natural root.
Implants are suitable for single gaps as well as for larger restorations. Even dentures can be anchored on implants to give them a secure hold.
How the Treatment Works
Consultation & Planning
First, we discuss your situation in detail. With X-rays and, if needed, a 3D scan, we assess the jawbone and plan the optimal position of the implant. You'll know exactly what to expect.
Placing the Implant
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia — you won't feel anything. The titanium screw is precisely placed in the jawbone. This usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. Most patients are surprised how straightforward it is.
Healing Phase
Over the following weeks, the implant integrates firmly into the bone. This process usually takes 3 to 6 months. In the meantime, you wear a provisional to maintain aesthetics.
The Crown
Once the implant has fully integrated, the final crown is placed. It's individually crafted and precisely matched to your tooth colour and shape. The result looks and feels like your own tooth.
The Benefits of Implants
Neighbouring Teeth Stay Intact
Unlike with a bridge, no healthy teeth need to be ground down. Every tooth stays untouched.
Natural Chewing Sensation
An implant sits firmly in the bone — like a real root. You chew, speak, and laugh without thinking about it.
Preserving the Jawbone
Where a tooth is missing, the bone slowly deteriorates. An implant prevents this by continuing to stimulate the bone — just like a natural root.
Long-Lasting & Proven
With good care, implants last decades — often a lifetime. It's an investment that pays off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is placing an implant painful?
No. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia; you won't feel anything. Most patients report it was less uncomfortable than expected. In the days after, there may be a slight pull or pressure — a standard painkiller is usually more than sufficient.
How long does the entire treatment take?
From placing the implant to the finished crown, it usually takes 3 to 6 months. The actual procedure often takes just 30 to 60 minutes. The healing phase requires patience, but during this time you wear a provisional and are not restricted.
How long does an implant last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants last decades — very often a lifetime. The crown on top may be renewed after many years, but the implant itself usually remains permanently.
Am I too old for an implant?
Age alone is not a barrier. What matters is the condition of the jawbone and your general health. We'll honestly advise you whether an implant is an option for you — and what alternatives exist if not.
