IMPLANTS IN SPLIT
A safe alternative to conventional tooth replacement
Three-dimensional computer planning is possible with a digital volume tomograph (DVT). It is done before certain dental procedures, for example before implantation. With the help of digital volume tomography, several cross-sectional images of the jaw are made, which ultimately results in a three-dimensional image. The 3D image provides accurate representations of the anatomical structures of the jaw and is therefore much more accurate than conventional two-dimensional images. The dentist can see exactly where the bone has sufficient density and height and where the mandibular nerve passes. The position of the implant can thus be determined very precisely.
What is dental implant?
Implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone. Individual crowns, bridges or dentures whose shape and color are adapted to other teeth can be attached to them. By combining the achieved function and appearance, it is possible to regain satisfaction with one’s own teeth.
Even with completely edentulous jaws, implants can regain their function and aesthetics. Your dentist will know if the condition of the jaw is suitable for implants or if the bone needs to be pre-treated.
For more aesthetics, zirconium abutments can be used. An abutment is a part that protrudes from the gums and is screwed to the implant and then a crown is placed on it. Zircon offers the advantage of more aesthetics and is mainly used in the front.

What are the benefits of a dental implant?
- The implant is usually made of titanium, a metal that is very well tolerated.
- Implants replace missing teeth.
-
They fill edentulous places without the healthy tooth substance of adjacent teeth
having to prepare (as is the case with a bridge). - Suitable for single and multiple missing teeth.
- Possible bone loss can be prevented by correctly placed implant.
- Suitable for all ages.
- Improves chewing and speech.
- The visual impression corresponds to that of natural teeth.
Welfare and quality of life
Healthy teeth are an important part of quality of life. Satisfaction with oral health significantly depends on whether you can chew and drink vigorously without problems and whether you are able to speak clearly or constantly hide your smile. Your dentist will therefore use all of his skills to restore the natural function and appearance of your teeth to their original condition. Modern dentistry offers a variety of options to achieve this. Implantation of artificial tooth roots made of titanium ensures excellent results.
