When can dental implants be used?

 

…when disease leads to tooth loss

 

Whether young or old, severe gum or root inflammation, caries and other diseases can cause tooth loss. In these cases, dental implants are a useful alternative to restore the former appearance.

 

...when an accident leaves a tooth gap

 

Whether in sport or ordinary life, a small accident leading to loss of one or more teeth happens fast. Here, too, dental implants restore the natural appearance and function. In individual cases, implants can even be inserted immediately after an accident, depending on the damage to the surrounding tissue.

 

...when teeth have been missing since birth

 

Tooth gaps can also be due to congenital absence. If teeth have not developed or have grown incompletely, dental implants provide a solid foundation for a denture.
