A single missing tooth — dental implants and prosthetics

The implant takes over the function of the tooth root and transfers chewing forces into the jawbone. This natural loading keeps the jawbone vital so that it does not recede. A new tooth should not only do its job but – especially in the front of the mouth – be indistinguishable from the natural ones. An aesthetically pleasing result matters particularly here. Fixed, implant-supported teeth not only look like your own, they feel like them too. Implant, new tooth and soft tissue should form a harmonious whole.

The dental implant replaces the lost tooth root and serves as the abutment for the implant crown. There is no need to grind down the neighbouring teeth – healthy tooth substance is preserved.

From an aesthetic point of view too, an implant offers more sophisticated options than conventional treatment, because the crown blends naturally with the remaining teeth and can meet the gum perfectly. All-ceramic superstructures convince through their shape, colour and natural appearance.
