Dental implants are structures that replace missing teeth. They are placed in the jawbone, providing a stable support for dental crowns, bridges or dentures. The procedure is safe and effective, offering the ideal solution for restoring the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Before you make your decision, be well-informed: misinformation can prevent you from getting the optimal treatment for a beautiful and functional smile.
Myth #1: Dental implants don’t look natural
Dental implants look just like your natural teeth, if done correctly. Each dental crown placed over the implant is created in our lab by specialized technicians with care and perfection, individually tailored to your individual needs. Implantologists work closely with technicians for a natural-looking restoration that perfectly matches the rest of the arch – no one will know they’re not your teeth! Fixed in the jawbone, they won’t move or wobble like traditional dentures.
Myth #2: The procedure is painful
Many people give up dental implants for fear of pain. The reality: the area is locally anesthetized, so you don’t feel any pain – just a slight pressure. We also offer conscious sedation for total relaxation. Modern technologies like 3D guided surgery ensure precise placement with minimal trauma and fast healing.
Myth #3: Dental implants are expensive
The cost of a dental implant may seem higher initially, but it’s a long-term investment:
– Traditional crowns last 7-10 years, while dental implants can last for decades.
– Dental implant price versus repeated costs of replacing bridges or dentures.
– Implants prevent bone loss and maintain jawbone health.
Myth #4: Any dentist can insert a dental implant
In theory, yes, but success and final esthetics depend on the experience of the specialist. Only a certified implantology specialist/implantologist with thorough training can guarantee a high implant success rate and an impeccable esthetic result.
Myth #5: Dental implants are suitable for very few patients
Most patients can benefit from dental implants. In cases of bone deficiency, bone grafts or solutions such as All-on-4 and All-on-6, which offer maximum stability and comfort, are used.
Myth #6: Dental implants are not safe
Dental implants have an implant success rate of over 98%. Like any surgery, there are risks, but careful evaluation and detailed planning minimize almost any complication. Dental implants restore proper chewing, prevent bone loss and contribute to overall health.
