Our
team has more than 10 years of clinical experience
in implantology and collaborates with world
leading experts in this field. Implants
The replacement
of missing teeth with implants is nowadays
a well established treatment option. Implants
can be placed in both anterior and posterior
regions, with a very high success rate. In
addition to the long experience of the surgical
team, a very precise and individual treatment
plan will always precede any decision or intervention
in order to favour the best aesthetic and
biological treatment outcome.
The
2 Central incisors were replaced with
2 implants, following bone and soft
tissue grafting. 4 full ceramic crowns
were then inserted.
The crowns are connected to the implants
via metal-free zirconium abutments.

Bone regeneration
Implant success
is largely influenced by the balance between
functional load and contact surface between
bone and implant. If the amount of bone is
insufficient in either width or height, bone
regeneration could be necessary to make the
replacement of missing teeth by implants possible.
Different bone regenerative procedures can
be proposed, according to the specific site
conditions. Synthetic or allograph materials
can also be used in addition to the patient’s
natural tissue to augment the quantity of
regenerated bone.
Sinus lift
Maxillary sinuses
often reduce the bone height available in
the posterior region of the upper maxilla.
If needed, the sinus floor can then be elevated
and a bone graft placed in this area to allow
implant placement.
The
extension of the maxillary sinus toward
the alveolar crest prevented the placement
of an implant in the first molar region
(left). After extraction of the second
premolar, an implant was placed in
combination with a bone graft, elevating
the sinus floor and creating a much
better implant recipent site (right)
Soft tissue
augmentation
A
good quality and amount of tissue around
implants or pontic sites (where a tooth
is missing) is important for an optimal
biological and aesthetic result. Different
soft tissue surgical procedures exist to
solve these problems, which are routinely
performed in our clinic.
