Good advice.
The first stage of every treatment is an intensive consultation. Your implantologist will discuss in detail your initial situation, the treatment sequence and what you actually want and will answer your questions. You work with your dentist to find the best solution. The health and cost schedule will show you a detailed list of costs for your specific implant treatment. The health insurance fund will calculate exactly what proportion you will have to pay and any reimbursement options.
Once the question of costs has been clarified and you have decided to have implants, the actual treatment can be started. You will find the most important stages below.
Placement of the implants.
One session is normally sufficient for placement of the implants. It normally takes no longer than 20 minutes to place one implant. The routine procedure is carried out atraumatically under local anesthetic. Depending on your preferred solution – single-tooth reconstruction or implant-borne bridge – the dentist will prepare precisely fitted implant sites in the bone and will screw in the root-analog screws. Now the healing phase in the bone starts. The implant should normally not be loaded during these weeks and month. The gum is carefully sutured over the implant. Until the final restoration a temporary denture, which is not attached to the implant and thus prevents transmission of the chewing pressure, covers the gap so it is not visible from outside.
