The advantages dental implants offer

In aesthetic terms, implant-supported teeth are the most sophisticated solution: they blend harmoniously with the remaining teeth and not only feel like your own but look like them too. Unlike a classic bridge, neighbouring teeth do not have to be ground down to carry the new teeth and close a gap. Healthy tooth substance is preserved.

One advantage that matters greatly from a dental point of view: implants protect against bone loss. Like natural tooth roots, implants transfer the forces generated during chewing evenly into the jawbone. The bone is loaded much as it is by natural teeth and stays vital. Because the bone is loaded naturally, the face keeps its profile and its natural expression. A secure hold for "false teeth" is a further advantage of implantology. Dentures can be firmly anchored on implants. They spare patients the drawbacks of conventional prosthetics, such as painful pressure sores. For patients who find a full mucosa-borne denture a hindrance, implant-supported restorations offer more comfort. The palate also stays free of denture material, which has a positive effect on speech. And patients regain their natural sense of taste: a good red wine tastes of red wine again, and a fillet steak of fillet steak.

Self-confidence and a better quality of life, at work and in private. Implant-supported teeth should sit firmly and give a feeling of security: to speak freely and to eat and enjoy anything.

The investment in implant-supported restorations can be off-putting. Well cared for, implants can last a long time. If you spread the initial cost over the life of the restoration, you find that the daily cost of the gain in quality of life and security is not high. How implants can help in an individual case can only be determined after a thorough consultation and diagnosis by a dentist or a master dental laboratory.
