What is a
dental implant?
Implantology is today one of the most effective and lasting ways to replace missing teeth. An implant acts as an artificial root supporting a crown, bridge or prosthesis.
Who are
dental implants for?
Implants are suitable for most patients when bone volume and general health allow. A thorough examination determines the best option for your case.

Is placing a dental implant painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Discomfort afterwards is usually mild and managed with standard pain relief and aftercare advice.
How long does implant treatment take?
The duration of implant treatment is determined by the biological healing times of bone and gums. It is defined by the surgeon at the pre-implant assessment; typically, a period of 3 months is needed between implant placement and the definitive crown.
Depending on your bone and gum quantity and quality, the surgeon may need to perform reconstruction steps that extend treatment time. A temporary solution will always be discussed with the team to provide comfort and aesthetics during healing periods.
