Following extensive diagnosis and planning the implant is either fitted into the jaw following local anaesthetic,
sedation or, if wished, full anaesthetic. During the healing period – usually 6-8 weeks – the bone
grows together with the implant and forms a firm base for the new teeth. During this time the patient receives
temporary dentures After healing the new teeth are either screwed in or cemented onto the implant. The
implants function like natural tooth roots. Like these, they channel the pressure which arises when chewing
evenly into the jaw. The bone is subject to the correct loading and as such remains healthy. Further bone
deterioration, for example due to badly-fixed dentures, is thus avoided.

Implantology offers flexible solutions to meet indvidual needs. It means that in most instances the
patient can be provided with a suitable dental solution to meet their needs.
