01
Bone grafting
Bone augmentation adds bone where there is insufficient volume for implant placement. Graft material may come from different sources depending on the clinical plan.
Dental implants
Replacing a missing tooth starts with the foundation.
A dental implant is a titanium fixture placed in the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Once integrated, it can support a crown, bridge or denture.
Implant pathway
Bone, soft tissue and implant health are considered together.
Implant treatment may involve more than fixture placement. The practice profile includes adjunctive procedures used when additional bone or soft-tissue support is needed.
Assessment
Clinical evaluation and, when indicated, imaging are used to assess the proposed implant site and supporting structures.
Site preparation
Some sites may require bone augmentation, soft-tissue grafting or a sinus lift before or alongside implant placement.
Implant placement
The titanium implant is placed in the jawbone. The exact sequence and timing depend on the individual clinical situation.
Maintenance
Like natural teeth, implants require ongoing professional maintenance to monitor the surrounding gum and bone health.
Adjunctive procedures
When the implant site needs additional support.
These procedures are not automatically required. Their relevance is determined by examination, imaging and the anatomy of the implant site.
02
Soft-tissue grafting
Soft-tissue grafts can increase the amount or quality of gum tissue around an implant site.
03
Sinus lift
In the posterior upper jaw, lifting the sinus membrane can create space for bone material where additional vertical bone height is needed.
Immediate implant placement
In selected cases, an implant may be placed immediately after tooth extraction. Suitability is assessed individually.
Implant maintenance
Professional maintenance helps monitor the tissues around implants and support long-term implant health.
Peri-implant disease
Inflammation and infection around implants can affect supporting tissues and may require periodontal assessment and treatment.
