Dental implants in Munich – the key to permanent dentures

A bright smile and the ability to chew comfortably are among the most important aspects of a high quality of life. When teeth are lost, dental implants offer a permanent solution that is the closest thing to natural teeth. In our dental practice in Munich, we specialize in implantology and advise you comprehensively on the various options for dental implantation.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are firmly anchored in the jawbone. These implants replace the natural tooth root area and provide a stable basis for the dentures that are placed on top of it. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants offer the advantage that they are anchored in the jaw like natural teeth, thus restoring the natural chewing sensation and appearance of teeth.

The different options for dentures

Depending on the patient’s situation and wishes, we offer the following dental prosthesis solutions:

  • Implants: The permanent solution for the replacement of missing teeth.
  • Bridges: If there are still adjacent teeth, a bridge can be used to fill a gap.
  • Prostheses: For larger tooth gaps or complete tooth loss, partial or full dentures are available.
  • Crowns: A crown is attached to an existing tooth or implant and protects it from further damage.

The advantages of dental implants

Implants are durable, stable and offer a natural aesthetic. They are often the most comfortable solution for patients who are losing teeth and are dependent on permanent replacements. By anchoring them in the jawbone, implants also prevent the regression of the jawbone, which can occur after tooth loss without appropriate treatment.

  • Longevity: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Aesthetics: Implants act like natural teeth and offer an aesthetically pleasing result.
  • Functionality: They offer high chewing performance and protect adjacent teeth from strain.

Prevention of bone loss: Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants preserve the bone substance in the jaw.

When are dental implants suitable?

Dental implants can be placed in most cases if the jawbone is healthy and has enough volume to support the implant. After tooth loss, there may be a regression of the jawbone. In such cases, it is possible to restore the jawbone through procedures such as bone augmentation in order to create the conditions for implantation. We also offer these procedures in our dental practice in Munich.

The procedure of implant treatment

Treatment with dental implants in our Munich practice begins with a thorough examination, which includes X-rays and the planning of the implant bed. In the next step, the implant is inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia. After insertion, the implant must go through a healing phase in which the jawbone grows together with the implant. This usually takes between two and six months. After healing, the implant is exposed and the dentures are attached, be it a crown, bridge or prosthesis.

Risks and side effects

As with any surgical procedure, there are also possible risks with implantation. These include infections, bleeding or a possible injury to nerves. However, careful planning and implementation of the treatment significantly minimizes these risks. In very rare cases, the implant cannot fully attach to the jawbone after the healing phase, so further surgery is required.

Bone augmentation in implantology: a prerequisite for stable implants

A successful placement of dental implants requires sufficient bone substance in the jaw. In many cases, however, the jawbone is not sufficiently present – whether due to tooth loss, bone loss or other factors. In such cases, a Bone augmentation required to prepare the jaw for the implants.

Bone augmentation can be performed using various methods, the most common methods include:

  • Bone augmentation by removing the patient’s own bone or using artificial bone elsewhere
  • Bone spreading with storage of autologous and/or foreign bone
  • Distraction osteogenesis (new bone formation due to the pulling apart of bone fragments)
  • Storage of autologous and/or foreign bone in the floor of the maxillary sinus
  • Sinus lift in the area of the upper posterior teeth

Sinus lift: A special method for the upper jaw

Especially in the area of the posterior upper jaw, it may be necessary to perform a sinus lift to create enough bone for implants. The sinus lift is a surgical procedure in which the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus (sinus) is lifted to make room for bone substitute material. This method is especially necessary if the jawbone in this area is too thin to securely anchor implants.

Aftercare and care after implantation

After implantation, it is important to continue to take care of your teeth conscientiously and to attend regular check-ups. This ensures that the implant remains stable in the long term and that possible complications are detected at an early stage. The diet should also be adjusted in the first period after the procedure to promote rapid healing.
