Implantology


Fitted and aesthetically appealing dental prosthesis

If individual or multiple teeth are missing, implants may be a good and useful solution. A dental implant replaces not only the visible part of the tooth but also the root.

The treatment


First we implant an artificial root made of titanium in the jaw, where it fuses together with the surrounding bone within three to six months. In the meantime you normally wear a temporary denture.

After the healing stage we open the mucous membrane over the implant with a laser – no bleeding and virtually painless. Then we can anchor the fixed, permanent and robust prosthesis – a crown, bridge or denture.

Background


For your dental prosthesis we employ the latest technology and the highest quality, biocompatible materials, which we are happy to subject to naturopathic testing for you. Dr Lenz’s experienced dental practice is the right address if you are looking for first class, long-lasting implants. I have been an implantologist since 1995 and have fitted countless implants. We produce them in our own lab.

Requirements


The patient’s dentition should be in a healthy state. Inflammation in the oral cavity and dental disorders are eliminated first. Insufficient bone substance as the result of tooth loss can be reconstructed using various methods.

The best time


After losing a tooth the jawbone recedes by about 50 per cent in the first two to three years. Implantation should therefore ideally take place soon after the tooth is extracted. In some cases immediate implantation following extraction is advisable.

Implant benefits


  • Stable, fixed prosthesis
  • Natural looking
  • Confidence when speaking (they do not narrow the tongue space like dentures)
  • Excellent ease of chewing
  • Very comfortable to wear without pressure points
  • Last for decades
  • Stabilisation of the jawbone
  • Prevention of bone loss
  • Maintenance of healthy adjacent teeth; no grinding necessary
  • Increased quality of life at any age
  • No gag reflex, such as with palatal plates
