Implantology · DGI-certified

Computer-navigated dental implantology, placed via surgical guide.

Implant positions are defined on the computer from a 3D scan. Placement is then template-guided, without cutting the gum and without exposing the bone.

Indications for a navigated implant.

Single tooth loss

A single-tooth implant replaces the missing tooth without grinding the neighbouring teeth as a bridge would require.

Bridge instead of gap

For multiple adjacent gaps, implant-supported bridges can be used. No grinding of healthy abutment teeth, with firm anchorage in the jawbone.

Fixed full-arch restoration

In a completely edentulous situation, an implant-supported restoration provides fixed teeth instead of a removable prosthesis — with full bite force.

Implants in advanced age

Implantation is generally possible even in patients over 80. Implants stabilize the bone structure, counter further bone loss and provide a firm bite — without pressure points or adhesives, as a conventional denture would require.

Advantages

What sets computer-navigated implantology apart.

01

No incision

No cutting of the gum, no sutures. Template-guided placement through the smallest possible access.

02

Sparing the neighbours

No injury to nerves, no grinding of abutment teeth. Anatomical structures stay untouched.

03

Short procedure time

Usually 30 to 40 minutes under local anaesthesia. A very short healing period thanks to minimally invasive placement.

04

High biocompatibility

The ceramised implant surface is highly biocompatible. About 98% of patients show no allergic reactions, and osseointegration into the bone proceeds reliably.

Four phases, fully predictable.

Phase One

Diagnostics & 3D planning

Volumetric tomography (CBCT scan) of the jaw region. All implantation factors are determined on the computer and the exact position of every implant is defined.

Phase Two

Surgical guide

From the computer plan, a surgical guide is 3D-printed at the dental laboratory. The guide transfers the plan 1:1 to the procedure and is available no earlier than the next day.

Phase Three

Template-guided placement

Implantation under local anaesthesia, usually within 30 to 40 minutes. No cutting of the gum, no exposure of the bone, no sutures.

Phase Four

Restoration

After healing, the final prosthetic restorations — crowns, bridges or bars — are placed, fabricated in Austrian master laboratories.

Prosthetics & material

Full-ceramic restorations from Austrian master laboratories.

The implants carry a ceramised surface that supports long-term safety and biocompatibility. The prosthetic superstructures are fabricated in Austrian dental laboratories: full-ceramic crowns from zirconium dioxide, implant-supported bridges, and bars as anchors for stabilised dentures.

Metal-free, tooth-coloured restorations with natural light dynamics — aesthetic dental work visually indistinguishable from natural teeth, also suitable for patients with allergy sensitivity. Whether crowning a single front tooth or rebuilding a full arch: every restoration is individually planned.

Dentist · Certified implantologist (DGI)

„To provide you with the best possible, particularly gentle and pain-free treatment according to the latest standards of modern dentistry — that is our greatest concern."

In treating my patients I draw on more than 35 years of professional experience across all fields of dental, oral and maxillofacial medicine, together with long-standing specialization in implantology and certification by the German Society of Implantology (DGI). Individual attention and personal well-being are paramount in every phase of treatment.

Questions & answers.

How long does an implant treatment take?

From the 3D scan to the final crown takes several weeks to several months depending on the starting situation. The implantation itself usually takes 30 to 40 minutes under local anaesthesia.

Is placing an implant painful?

Thanks to computer-navigated, template-guided placement the procedure is minimally invasive. There is no cutting of the gum and no exposure of the bone. Most patients report markedly less discomfort than after a tooth extraction.

How long does an implant last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups an implant is a long-term restoration. Implants with a ceramised surface support biocompatibility and long-term safety.

Are same-day implants possible?

A template-guided implantation on the same day as the first examination is not the standard case. The surgical guide is calculated from the digital planning and 3D-printed at the lab; it is available no earlier than the next day. Immediate implantation is possible but must be planned in advance.

Which crowns are placed on dental implants?

Typically full-ceramic crowns made of zirconium dioxide: high-strength, metal-free and tooth-coloured. The crowns are individually fabricated in an Austrian master laboratory and are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth in shape, colour and light dynamics. For multiple gaps, implant-supported bridges are used; in an edentulous jaw, bars serve as anchors for a stabilised denture. For crowning individual front teeth as well, full ceramic offers the most natural aesthetics.

How biocompatible are dental implants?

Very high. About 98% of patients experience no allergic reactions. The ceramised implant surface is highly biocompatible; long-term studies confirm tolerance over several decades. With proper care an implant can be a lifelong investment.

Are dental implants possible in advanced age?

Yes. Implantation is generally possible even in patients over 80. Long-standing tooth loss accelerates bone loss in the jaw; implants stabilize the bone structure and allow fixed restorations instead of a removable denture.
