The dental root was not replaced.
The result was painful symptoms such as wear on neighbouring teeth or the loss of bone mass due to the lack of chewing pressure.
 | Titanium implants of various sizes. |
| | | | | An implant is an artificial root made from biologically compatible material.
This material, in general titanium, is harmless to humans, it does not damage the tissue and does not cause allergies.
This artificial root holds permanently onto the jawbone and has a "pillar".

vorher: ohne Implantat
nachher: eingesetztes Implantat | The visible, porcelain part is then fixed to this "pillar".
Bacterial plaque can cause complaints related to the dental fixing apparatus.
Implants can compensate for the total or partial loss teeth. They avoid the loss of bone mass from the jaw.
They are "natural" prosthesis.
Not only is the dental piece restored but also the root.
In this way both the function and the aesthetic of the dental apparatus is restored. |
Whether a patient needs one, several or all of the teeth reconstructing, implants, except in a few cases, offer a natural solution for the attachment of prosthetics or reconstructed pieces.
The jawbone must have a minimum mass for the implant to adhere properly. |
