Dentures after tooth loss
Dental implants
Your esthetic gap closure while protecting your healthy neighboring teeth!
Our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth, but the loss of individual teeth or rows of teeth due to age, disease or accident can lead to a significant loss in your quality of life. In such acute cases, you can contact our Emergency dentist turn. Today, modern dentistry can replace lost teeth very reliably with dental implants, i.e. artificial tooth roots made of pure titanium.
This material does not trigger a foreign body reaction. From both an esthetic and functional point of view, implants are currently the best solution for artificial dentures after tooth loss.
Treatment procedure
Our modern treatment methods
In order for a dental implant to optimally support the subsequent denture, it must be viewed three-dimensionally and positioned precisely. The better surgery, implantology and prosthetics work together here, the more convincing the result.
Implants are implanted painlessly under local or general anesthesia into the root cavity of the gap in the jaw and fuse firmly with the jawbone. Depending on the case, the healing time takes approx. 6 months in the upper jaw and approx. 3 months in the lower jaw. Crowns, bridges or dentures can be attached to these artificial roots.
"Teeth on implants give a natural feeling!"
Single crowns, fixed bridges or removable dentures are firmly held in place with dental implants. The typical slipping and sliding of dentures, especially on the lower edentulous jaw, which can make chewing and speaking difficult and potentially embarrassing, disappears.
"Implants improve your chewing function and give you back your quality of life and self-confidence."
Our modern treatment methods are gentle and gentle, reducing the time required and your psychological stress to a minimum.

Before/After
FAQ
When are implants useful?
- for single tooth gaps to avoid grinding down the healthy neighboring teeth
- for missing teeth in the posterior region to avoid removable dentures
- in the edentulous jaw to enable a stable hold of the full denture
Dental implants at any age ?
If the patient is in good health, dental implants can be placed well into old age. Bone growth must be complete, as an implant is only placed in a fully grown jaw. There is no upper age limit.
"We only use high-quality implant systems from reputable implant companies that have been tried, tested and scientifically proven over many years."
Stability and security
Whether dental implants are suitable for you is influenced by various factors, including tobacco consumption and general illnesses such as diabetes. Your oral hygiene plays a very important role, as it has a direct impact on the condition of your gums. Gum disease (periodontitis) can lead to bone loss and make bone augmentation necessary.
"Your implant can be replaced by participating in our semi-annual Dental hygiene- program, in up to 98% for life!"
Good oral hygiene and regular prophylaxis can successfully prevent serious inflammation of the implant site (peri-implantitis).
Bone augmentation and sinus lift - Dentist Lucerne
Bone loss (bone atrophy) is usually the result of many years of edentulism. In order to secure the implant in the bone, it is necessary to rebuild this lost bone by means of bone augmentation. If there is not enough bone in the side of the upper jaw for an implant, bone is built up with the help of a sinus lift.
