Our dental implants
Standard dental implants
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.
Advantages of Dental Implants:
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 Dental implants –
Fixed teeth in one day
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.
All-on-4 is suitable for patients who:
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
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.
