ZAHNIMPLANTATE
in Berlin

Thanks to state-of-the-art procedures in oral surgery, almost every patient is now given the opportunity to anchor implants firmly in the bone. Therefore, if there is not enough bone, a build-up under anesthesia is necessary. The setup can be done in different variants and with different methods:

• with the body’s own bones
• with so-called bone replacement materials

If there is not enough space in the area of the maxillary sinus, it is possible to gently raise the maxillary sinus base by means of a so-called sinus lift (targeted bone structure). Experienced dentists and specially trained oral surgeons or implantologists will be happy to advise you on your individual dental situation in our practice. An overall planning for dental implants, from the materials used to the structure of bones, is usually carried out jointly by the treating dentist and the implantologist. KU64’s in-house dental laboratory is also already included in the planning.

In particularly extensive cases, we also offer patients in our practice the possibility of a 3-D X-ray image to ensure that surrounding anatomical structures such as neighboring teeth, maxillary sinus and nerves can be included in the planning. Your advantage lies in the direct cooperation of all specialists under one roof, right here in our dental practice in Berlin, so that you do not have to visit additional doctors during the planning of your dental implants.

Your well-being during longer surgeries is also taken care of. For the care in our practice in Berlin, a separate operating room is just as natural as the possibility of a twilight sleep or a general anaesthetic during your operating room. The well-being of our anxiety patients is of particular concern to us: we take into account your individual needs and take care to make the time before, during and after the operation as pleasant as possible in our practice.

BENEFITS OF IMPLANTS

• A dental implant looks and works like a separate tooth.
• Implants allow a much stronger bite than prostheses and in many cases facilitate chewing.
• Professional dental implants keep the pronunciation unchanged or are improved or restored compared to other dentures.
• Implants, unlike many bridges and prostheses, prevent the jawbone from reforming further.
• The neighbouring teeth remain intact due to the setting of implants.
• An implant cannot get tooth decay.
• Artificial tooth roots (implants) can also stabilize a removable prosthesis or carry a firmly anchored bridge.

IMPLANT MATERIAL

Almost all dental implants are now made of titanium, as the bone grows best on this material. Titanium is well researched, long-term stable and absolutely biocompatible. Our implants come from well-known manufacturers and are additionally provided with a so-called bioactive surface, which additionally accelerates the healing. Away from titanium, there are various other materials such as zircon. Zircon is a ceramic material with a particularly high biocompatibility that is primarily used for dentures. These ceramic implants look very natural.

PROCESS OF IMPLANTATION IN OUR PRACTICE IN BERLIN

Implantation should be followed as gently as possible by the removal of the tooth. Prerequisite: Teeth, gums and periodont – in short: the whole “drum” – must be put in order. There is no point in putting an expensive implant if, for example, gum inflammation or lack of prophylaxis jeopardize long-term success. These things should therefore be checked before implant treatment.

The stronger the bone, the more trouble-free the implant holds in the patient’s mouth.
Often, minor bone deficits, e.g. a very thin jawbone, must be compensated by attachment of own bones or bone replacements in the run-up to treatment with implants.

In order to insert the implant after successful bone structure, the gums in the area provided for the implant are carefully detached from the jaw. Subsequently, a recess that fits exactly to the shape of the implant is drilled into the jaw in several steps. There, the implant is then turned in. Finally, the gums are tightly closed and the implant can heal undisturbed.

Apart from a feeling of soreness, the pain after implantation should in most cases be suppressed with light painkillers. Depending on the extent of the procedure, mild to pronounced swelling and bruising are possible in the first postoperative week. In the following period, the implant grows and connects to the jawbone (osseointegration). This procedure takes about 8 weeks in the lower jaw, about 12 weeks in the upper jaw – here there are individual differences from patient to patient.

For optimal use of dental implants, we recommend pre-implantation diagnostics with our partners Dr. Löffler and Dr. Egorov. Pre-implantation diagnostics are the determination of immunological (inflammatory), osteological (bony) and genetic risks that may jeopardize long-term implantation success. Modern preventive medicine offers the possibility to recognize risk patients via differentiated diagnostics and to treat them with individual therapy concepts.
