What is a dental implant and why do you need one?

A dental implant is a small artificial root made of medical-grade titanium that integrates naturally into the jaw or mandibular bone. It acts as the perfect anchor for crowns, bridges or complete dentures that look, feel and function like natural teeth.

The loss of one or more teeth is not merely an aesthetic problem. An empty space alters the bite, makes chewing difficult, causes adjacent teeth to shift and accelerates bone mass loss, which can prematurely age the facial profile.

Why choose us for your implants

Straumann Implants

The Swiss world-leading brand, backed by decades of scientific studies and maximum durability.

3D Guided Planning

Intraoral scanner and 3D CT scan for surgery precise to the millimetre, minimally invasive and safe.

Sedation Option

Intravenous conscious sedation so you feel no pain or anxiety throughout the process.

Medical-Grade Titanium

100% biocompatible materials that guarantee perfect osseointegration and prevent rejection.

How the process works

1

3D Clinical Study

We scan your mouth and take a CT scan to digitally plan the root position in the jawbone.

2

Guided Surgery

We place the titanium root using a custom-made surgical guide. Painless and with minimal incision.

3

Healing

A 2–4 month phase during which the titanium biologically fuses with your own jawbone (osseointegration).

4

Digital Measurements

3D digital design and mould (avoiding uncomfortable impression pastes) for your new crown with perfect anatomical retention.

5

Crown Placement

We fix the definitive high-strength cap (zirconia or ceramic). Your smile regains perfect functionality.

Advantages of our technique

Less swelling and recovery: Using computer-guided surgery, sutures are usually not required.

Bone preservation: We prevent jaw atrophy caused by prolonged absence of the natural tooth.

Protection of healthy teeth: We do not need to grind adjacent teeth as with traditional bridges.

Unrestricted chewing: You recover 100% of your original bite force — apples, nuts, any food.

Safety and confidence: Smile and speak again without any fear of loose dentures moving or falling out.

Very long-term investment: With our quality and optimal hygiene, the pieces can last for several decades.

Frequently asked questions
about implants

Not at all. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel dental pain. We also offer intravenous conscious sedation administered by a professional anaesthetist. Post-operatively, mild discomfort in the treated area can occur, which your doctor manages with appropriate anti-inflammatories and analgesics.
There are various modern bone regeneration techniques and small tissue grafts available today. If your density is low after reviewing the panoramic CT scan, the surgeon will proceed with this restorative phase first to guarantee full anatomical stability under daily bite forces.
Allergies to titanium — the medical-grade material used in implants — are extremely rare within the global clinical community. This material has achieved stable biocompatibility in various surgical applications without producing blood toxicity or inflammatory reactions.
Science allows total prosthetic restoration. For example, with innovative All-on-4 or All-on-6 techniques, we strategically use that reduced number of titanium roots per arch to fix a complete anatomical arch, greatly simplifying the surgical process.
It depends on the bone condition. In stable cases, placing an implant usually takes 30 to 50 minutes. Once placed, the passive osseointegration phase begins (2–4 months). After that, digital measurements are taken and the definitive crown in matching dental tone is fitted.
