Implants are artificial tooth roots and the best way to replace missing teeth. They can replace single teeth, multiple teeth, or a full mouth of teeth. The prosthetics are made in our in-house laboratory. Our dental implants mimic natural teeth to such an extent that the differences are barely noticeable.
Sufficient jawbone is a requirement for placing implants. Jawbone loss can be restored with autologous or foreign bone grafting materials as part of a surgical bone augmentation.
The immediate care concepts of our dental clinic avoid long healing times for dental implants. The All-on-4 ™ procedure allows for a full arch of teeth to be supported by just four strategically placed implants. It often enables patients to leave the clinic with a brand-new smile on the same day as the implant surgery.
Even for seemingly hopeless and supposedly therapy-resistant cases with severe bone loss, there are options for implant-supported dentures. So-called Zygoma implants are placed in the cheekbone and provide stability for the dentures despite the barely existing jawbone.
In our clinic area, you can expect maximum safety and comfort. General anesthesia is performed in a secure clinical environment under the supervision of experienced anesthetists. Our in-house team of implant specialists also efficiently and quickly carries out complete restorations for patients with limited time.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made from biocompatible materials like titanium or ceramic. They are surgically inserted into the jawbone and subsequently fitted with dental prosthetics. These implants offer a modern solution for almost all cases of tooth loss.
Almost anyone with missing teeth can benefit from dental implants. However, a sufficient amount of jawbone is essential for the secure placement of the implant. If the existing bone is inadequate, bone augmentation procedures can be performed to restore it. In cases of significant bone loss, alternative implant systems, such as zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone, can be utilized.
Preservation of Adjacent Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require the grinding down of neighboring teeth.
Bone Preservation
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing its deterioration over time.
Aesthetic Appeal
Dental implants provide a natural-looking replacement for lost teeth, closely resembling real teeth in appearance and function.
All-on-4 is a revolutionary dental implant technique that allows patients to have a full set of teeth replaced with just four dental implants per arch. This treatment involves placing four (or six in certain cases) dental implants strategically in the jaw, which serve as anchors for a full dental prosthesis.
Have a completely edentulous (toothless) or nearly edentulous jaw.
Have teeth that are loose, severely damaged, and deemed non-salvageable.
Desire a quick treatment without multiple sessions.
Want to avoid bone grafting procedures.
At our implant Clinic, a specialized All-on-4 competence centre, our priority is delivering the highest standard of care tailored to your individual needs. Let's embark on this journey to a new smile together!
Zygoma implants are specialized dental implants designed to utilize alternative bone areas in the facial region, essentially bypassing the jawbone area. These implants are specifically shaped, usually longer, and are used in cases where traditional implants are not feasible due to significant bone loss.
Patients with severe jawbone loss, especially in the molar area of the upper jaw, are prime candidates for Zygoma implants. These implants offer a solution for those who might otherwise require extensive bone grafting procedures.
Avoids Bone Grafting
Zygoma implants eliminate the need for bone grafting in patients with significant bone loss.
Immediate Results
They enable the "Fixed Teeth in One Day" approach, providing patients with immediate dental solutions.
Utilizes Stable Bone Structures
These implants leverage very stable bone areas, ensuring a secure fit.
The most important condition for placing a dental implant safely and with long-term success is sufficient bone volume in the upper and lower jaw.
Methods for Bone Augmentation ›The implant must be surrounded by bone at least 2 mm thick. If there’s insufficient jawbone, a surgical reconstruction of the jawbone might be necessary before implantation.
Therefore, bone augmentation, also known as bone grafting, is a crucial procedure for patients with significant jawbone loss, that aims to increase the volume of the jawbone, ensuring a stable foundation for dental implants.
The process involves taking bone graft material, either from the patient's body, a donor, or synthetic sources, and grafting it onto the existing jawbone. Over time, the grafted material will fuse with the natural bone, creating a larger, more stable base for the implant. The gold standard in grafting materials is the patient's bone. However, the type of material ultimately used depends on the extent and nature of the augmentation. These bone substitute materials serve to stimulate the body to produce new bone tissue.
Modern Zygoma implants can be used even in severe cases of jaw atrophy. These special implants are placed in bone areas outside the jawbone, which are very stable and make dentures without bone augmentation possible. They usually allow immediate loading with dentures and the treatment time is short.
Internal and
External Sinus Lift
A sinus lift compensates for a low jaw height in the rear upper jaw area, with an external sinus lift building more volume than an internal one.
Bone Apposition
and Bone Widening
Bone chips or bone substitute materials are placed directly on the bone to close smaller defects. If the bone is tall enough but too narrow, it can be widened through "Bone Spreading" or "Bone Splitting."
Socket Preservation
Right after the loss of a single tooth, the empty tooth socket is filled with bone substitute material to maintain the contour of the jawbone.
Bone Block Transplantation
Bone blocks can close even larger defects. For this, bone is obtained, for example, from the patient's oral cavity or pelvic crest.

"For All-on-4 dental implants, I looked at several practices and ultimately felt convinced by Dr. Kraus that I was in good hands there. The process was very professional, from the consultation and advice, through the organization, the somewhat more complex correspondence with my supplementary insurance (in which I received very valuable assistance from Dr. Kraus' staff) to the actual surgery day, which went surprisingly relaxed for me. The pain was also really minimal, and the result is very impressive. A clear recommendation, I would always return here for major implant treatments!"

"I had implants placed in both the upper and lower jaws simultaneously by Dr. Kraus while I was asleep. After being rejected by several implantologists, Dr. Kraus and his team were finally able to help me. I have little bone available, so implants in the cheekbone were necessary. Dr. Kraus seems to have a lot of experience in this area and is one of the few who can do this in Germany. I've been through a long ordeal and now finally have a reason to smile again. The implant clinic is not set up like a regular dental practice; there are beds available, and you feel very safe. Everything is of a high standard; even the dental laboratory is very modern, and they did a fantastic job with my teeth. Thanks to Dr. Kraus's team!"
