Dental treatment
Dental implants
I plan implants with digital diagnostics and personalised prosthetics to replace missing teeth with a functional and aesthetic approach.
I consider dental implants as an option when a tooth is missing or when a prosthesis needs more stability. The indication depends on the condition of the gum, bone, general health and the patient’s expectations.
When it is indicated
- One or more missing teeth.
- Removable prostheses with limited stability.
- Need for fixed rehabilitation after bone and gum assessment.
- Cases where preserving neighbouring teeth is desirable.
How we work
- 1Clinical and radiographic diagnosis.
- 2Digital planning and explanation of alternatives.
- 3Surgical phase if the case is suitable.
- 4Provisional or definitive prosthesis according to healing.
- 5Maintenance visits.
Frequent questions
Common questions
When is a dental implant indicated?
An implant may be indicated when one or more teeth are missing and a fixed, stable solution is sought while preserving neighbouring teeth. Before recommending it, oral health, the amount and quality of available bone, the gum, the bite and the patient’s medical history are assessed.
Can an implant always be placed?
Not always. In some cases, infections, periodontal disease, insufficient bone or habits such as smoking may need to be addressed first. Certain medical conditions or specific medication also require a more careful assessment before planning treatment.
Does having an implant placed hurt?
The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, so there should not be pain during the procedure. Afterwards, swelling, discomfort or sensitivity may occur for a few days and is usually manageable with the instructions provided by the professional.
How long does implant treatment take?
It depends on the case. Some treatments allow a provisional prosthesis to be placed early, while others require waiting for the implant to integrate with the bone. Treatment can also take longer if grafts, bone regeneration or preliminary treatments are needed.
Does a dental implant last a lifetime?
An implant can last many years, but it should not be presented as something that lasts forever. Its progress depends on hygiene, regular check-ups, gum health, chewing load, smoking and other individual factors. Maintenance is an essential part of treatment.
