Implantology
Dental implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium which is used to replace a missing tooth. The dentist inserts the implant into the jaw bone, where the titanium fuses with the bone. As before, the tooth root, now the implant creates a stable base for the crown, which in turn will be a visible part of the new tooth.
Dental implants are very small, usually about 10 mm long and only 3-5 mm wide at the apex.
It is widely believed that dental implants are the most effective method of restoring missing teeth today because they offer many benefits to patients.
Natural smile
A dental implant looks like a real tooth. All tooth characteristics such as color, shape and contour can be adjusted. The result will be a natural smile that will restore self-confidence and improve the quality of life. With the new shiny teeth visible on the outside, well-being will also return.
Eating and talking the right way
Have you had to give up your favorite dishes since you lost your teeth? Do you feel uncomfortable talking to colleagues and friends because dentures or missing teeth prevent you from speaking clearly? Dental implants will restore all the functions of real teeth. Regardless of how hard, crunchy or sticky you like, thanks to dental implants they will return to your menu. Implants will restore clear speech at your next business presentation or during long conversations with friends.
The adjacent teeth remain intact
When performing other restorative methods, it is often necessary to grind the adjacent teeth to secure the restoration in the mouth. Dental implants do not adversely affect the adjacent teeth.
Stable and well-fitted
Due to the fact that dental implants are adapted to the jaw bone, they are usually much more comfortable and provide long-term stability compared to other methods of tooth reconstruction. Moreover, they are made of biocompatible materials, which means that they are not treated by the body as a “foreign body”. Dental implants are therefore a solution that best imitates natural teeth.
A long-lasting and effective solution

Profitability
Implant treatment is believed to be a long-term investment in health and wellness – an investment in life. Compared to other methods of rebuilding, the costs may initially appear higher. However, higher maintenance costs, possible further loss of the jaw bone, and eventually the loss of more and more teeth can make other restorations more expensive in the long run.
