A tooth root made of titanium*
A dental implant is a small screw made of metal. It consists of titanium, which is well tolerated as the body accepts it as its own. Intolerance occurs rarely.
A short and painless operation for a long-term solution
In order to take over the function of the tooth root, the dental implant is inserted in the jaw bone by a short operation under local anesthetic as an outpatient procedure. It knits painlessly with the bone, thus forming a solid basis for the long-term and stable fixation of the denture.
Esthetic from the start
Depending on the situation it is possible to load the implant immediately after insertion and attach the final denture. However, since the long-term success should be the main priority in every implant treatment, this decision can only be made after the dentist has carefully considered the medical situation. If the denture cannot be attached immediately, an esthetic temporary denture is placed until the time is right for the final restoration.
*Titanium:
Silver-white precious metal; titanium has proven to be
particularly biocompatible. The body accepts it as if it were part of it. In dentistry it is used as
a basic material for implants because of its high strength and resistance.
