Science & Research - Research priorities

In order to provide you with even better service in the future, we are continuously working on improving the skills and expertise of our doctors and the clinic in the discipline of maxilla-facial surgery.

Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. A dental implant functions the same way as the patients’ own root, since it directly fuses with the bone. Implants anchor dentures, e.g. bridges, crowns or removable dentures securely to the bone.

Social projects

The clinic supports social and humanitarian projects in addition to their medical and scientific activity. For more details, see science and research.

Consultation & Treatment Planning
Consultation & Treatment
The first step in implant treatment is the diagnosis and detailed consultation with your dentist to determine if an implant is feasible.
Surgery
Implantation and anesthesia
General anesthesia is usually recommended for complicated implantations (with or without bone augmentation). Also, for very anxious patients or children, general anesthesia is often helpful.
Opening of the gums
Surgery
After opening the gums at the planned implant site, the bone will be prepared for the planned implant size using a special water-cooled. With proper anesthetics the drilling will be completely pain free, only the vibration of the drill is noticeable.
Bone substitute material
Bone formation
If at time of diagnosis, it was determined that there isn’t enough bone available to anchor any implants, the first step would be an augmentation (bone graft). There are various methods for bone augmentation, which widely differ in effort,...
