„Implants should replace missing teeth, not teeth!“

Over the last 50 years, dental implants have become a success story in dentistry. Implantology is now based on a broad scientific foundation and has become an indispensable part of dentistry as a well-studied, reproducible and predictable treatment method.

Perfect diagnostics, prosthetically orientated planning and a gentle surgical approach are required to ensure that an implantation is successful. These components come together to form a consistent treatment concept and are the key to long-term success.

In our eyes, implantology is not a stand-alone discipline. It is only conceivable embedded in a well-founded periodontological-prosthetic concept. For this reason, our implanting specialists, Dr Viktorov and Mr Planert, originally come from the fields of periodontology and prosthetics.

What is an implant?

A dental implant is an artificial root made from titanium or zirkoniumoxide that, once impacted from the bone (osseointegrated), supports a dental suprastructure. It is just a device for a new tooth. That is the reason, why placing an implant should be decided by the type of the required restoration.
If the area of implantation features enough bone structure, the implantation itself is not very complicated. If you have a situation like this, placing an implant is not very invasive at all, complementary to a tooth extraction.

Unfortunately these cases are very rare. Usually the dentist needs to regenerate bone and gum structure first to create a perfect field for the implant. Fortunately, many predictable methods are already available today. Our specialists have undergone many years of training in this area, so they are already passing on their extensive knowledge in this field to other dental colleagues.

As periodontists, Dr Viktorov and Mr Planert pay particular attention to the gums around the implants during implantation. This is the decisive factor for the aesthetic success of an implant in the anterior region, but also one of the most important prerequisites for an inflammation-free situation at the implant in the posterior region.

Placement of an implant

The gums are cut open, a hole is drilled into the jawbone and the implant is then screwed in. It connects directly to the bone on the upper side and disappears under the gums after the operation. There it heals in the bone for around 3 months.

After healing, the gum is opened again (exposure) and an abutment is screwed into the implant. The crown or bridge is then attached to this.

Durability of implants

Implants implanted in a medically correct manner last a good 25 years and are therefore among the most durable types of dentures. However, this also requires very good dental hygiene on the part of the patient, especially in the transition area between the crown and implant directly on the gums.

What is peri-implantitis?

Inflammation of the periodontium (gums and bone around the teeth) is known as periodontitis. Similarly, inflammation around an implant is called peri-implantitis.
As your implants can develop periodontitis (in this case peri-implantitis) just like your own teeth, it is important to pre-treat the neighbouring teeth with periodontitis therapy before implantation if necessary – and to ensure that no new inflammation develops on the implants after implantation with regular prophylaxis/tooth cleaning.
However, if peri-implantitis does occur, we unfortunately do not yet have any scientifically sound findings on treatment. In each individual case, we will decide together with you whether peri-implantitis is treatable and whether it makes sense to preserve the implant, which is our primary goal. A range of surgically resective or regenerative treatment options are possible, which we will be happy to discuss with you in detail.

Importance of implantology

Thanks to a very high level of scientific research, technical innovations and medical knowledge, implantology has become an integral part of modern dentistry.

“Despite all the advances in implantology, an implant is a dental prosthesis and not an alternative to real teeth,” according to patient information from the German Dental Association. “Your own, natural and healthy tooth is and remains the best treatment!”
