Your specialist for dental implants

Long-term studies show that the success rate of implants after 10 years is over 90% on average. The prerequisite for this is professional execution and careful planning of the operation. With good health, regular dental hygiene, check-ups and conscientious home care, implants can now last a lifetime.

An implant at DR. HAGER | Zahnärzte from 1200 and 1700 euros. In combination with a ceramic crown, it costs between 2800 and 3100 euros. We only use implants from the two largest implant manufacturers in the world: Straumann and Camlog.

Implants made of the biological material ceramic cost between 1400 and 1900 euros.

Every patient needs dentures that are adapted to their individual oral situation. We will discuss the costs with you in a personal consultation and you will receive a cost plan. The fixed price stated there will definitely not be exceeded. In this way, the costs remain clear and can be used for the important decision-making process. A good decision takes time.

A high degree of care and specialized training of the surgeon is required here. Good planning of the procedure, if necessary with the help of three-dimensional tomographic images, is particularly important. Modern equipment in the operating room, e.g. with digital real-time X-rays for X-ray images during the procedure, also increases surgical precision and thus ensures greater safety.

The implantation takes place under local anesthesia, so you will not feel anything during the operation. Only slight discomfort usually occurs after the operation, but this usually subsides in the first few days after the procedure.

Implant-supported teeth give you a completely natural mouth feel when talking, eating and laughing. You hardly notice any difference.

As a rule, you can chew on the implant after 2-3 months. Healing only takes approx. 6 months if bone augmentation is involved.

So-called rejection does not occur. However, inflammation can occur around the implant, particularly if it is not cared for properly, meaning that the implant has to be removed in particularly unfavorable cases.

After the dental implants have been inserted, slight swelling and minor pain may occur. Nevertheless, most patients are able to return to work the next day.

The implantation takes between 30 min. and 2½ hours.

If you previously had a removable denture, you can usually continue to wear it after a small adjustment. Otherwise, the gap is closed with a temporary restoration. Under certain conditions, this can be attached to the implants immediately – as a so-called long-term temporary restoration.

Implants usually have to heal for 2-3 months before they can be chewed on again. If bone augmentation is necessary beforehand, healing takes approx. 6 months. However, you do not have to spend this time without teeth: If you previously had a removable denture, you can usually continue to wear it after a small adjustment. Otherwise, the gap is closed with a temporary denture. Under certain conditions, this can be attached to the implants immediately – as a so-called long-term temporary restoration.

In principle, dental implants can be inserted at almost any age. Exceptions are children and adolescents who are still in the growth phase. Implants in this phase would influence jaw growth and consequently lead to less than optimal results.

Treat your new teeth as if they were your old ones. You should clean implants regularly with a toothbrush and generally ensure good oral hygiene.

The above-mentioned procedures and some other techniques make it possible to insert temporary dentures immediately onto the implants that have just been inserted. This is possible if the bone situation is favorable, i.e. if bone augmentation is not necessary and the bone is sufficiently firm. However, it is still absolutely necessary to consciously protect the dentures for 8 weeks. After this healing period, the fabrication of the final prosthesis is then started and completed after a further 2 weeks.

As you will have noticed, as with all medical treatments, there are many aspects to be weighed up in each individual case, especially in the complex field of implantology. Surgical considerations and the design of the implant-supported prosthesis must be brought together. Dental soundness and long-term care must be guaranteed. A detailed, competent consultation is also particularly important. All the treatment options mentioned are discussed for comprehensive treatment planning. With us, all options are available to you. All treatment steps take place on our premises and are implemented by our team.

It should be borne in mind that the emphatically fast restoration with implant-supported dentures often gives up some of the advantages of the conventional technique: safe freedom from bacteria, predictable aesthetics, better anchoring due to the possibility of bone augmentation. Especially in the case of teeth that have been destroyed by severe bacterial infestation, implantation in the still heavily infected wound is risky.

Depending on your wishes, we can place ceramic or titanium implants in any case; certification and many years of experience with various systems ensure your safety. It should be noted that almost all ceramic implants currently available are “one-piece”, i.e. they protrude about 5mm into the oral cavity after insertion, but must not be loaded under any circumstances. This places high demands on the patient’s attention and cooperation during the healing period. Especially if bone augmentation was necessary. This will improve in the near future. We are currently developing a two-part ceramic implant that heals under the mucous membrane. Only after the healing period is it loaded in the oral cavity – like a titanium implant. With the two-piece ceramic implants that have recently been introduced, the connection between the “two parts” of the abutment and the implant is the critical point. There is not yet much experience with long-term loading here.
