Dental Implants

Aesthetic dentistry has made significant advances in the last few years. False teeth are now much more beautiful, and look as natural as real teeth.

At the Wellness Kliniek we offer a complete range of aesthetic dentistry: implants - aesthetic implant surgery - are an important aspect.

Advantages of using dental implants

They provide a good foundation for crowns (artificial teeth) or a prosthesis

Titanium implants are very well tolerated: few risks.
They are very strong
Healthy teeth close by are spared and not damaged
High degree if aesthetics, with a fine finished crown or prosthesis

Suitable candidates for implants

Dental implants are suitable for anyone above 18 years of age.

Implant procedure

An implant can be compared to an artificial root which can be fitted in the root canal of the missing tooth. Implants are made from titanium and look like "cylinders" or screws. They are about as big as a tooth's natural root.

During the initial consultation the dentist will assess your teeth and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for implant surgery:

Your mouth is clean and you don't have an infection.
You have sufficient and strong jawbone.

The exact procedure depends on the number of teeth that are missing. A consultation with our specialised dentists will give you a clear view of what to expect during treatment.

What to expect?

Titanium is a strong, lightweight metal which is very well tolerated by the body. Rejection or allergies are extremely rare (and seldom occur) because of their high bio-compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have implants fitted in a single day?

Yes. The new two-phase treatment makes it possible to fit implants and teeth in a single day. The innovative new method signifies a major simplification of the treatment for the patient as well as for the dentist. Of course the results depend on the natural colour of your teeth and your personal circumstances. The aim is to achieve the optimal and maximum results for you. This can be done in 1 session lasting 1 hour.

Are dental implants expensive?

The cost is always relative. Dental implants will be slightly more expensive than permanent bridges and crowns, or a set of dentures, but they are cost effective because they last so much longer.

Why are dental implants cheaper in some countries?

The price of implants may vary. Why? Implants are produced in different countries and the price differs from one manufacturer, and one country, to another. In general, expensive implants are produced in the USA, Germany and Switzerland. Countries such as Japan, China and Israel produce cheaper implants.

What dental implants will I get?

Rest assured, the Wellness Kliniek always selects the very best materials. Our implantologists work closely with the worlds leading manufacturers of dental implants, such as Nobel Biocare (Switzerland) and Bicon (USA).

How long does it take to fit dental implants?

This depends on the number and position of the implants to be fitted. Most treatments last between 45 and 90 minutes.

Is the procedure painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, the same as when you have a filling.

What can I expect once the anaesthetic has worn off?

You will feel some discomfort, as you would expect after any surgical procedure. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication, such as paracetamol and Ibuprofen help to ease any discomfort.

Can I eat after the implants have been fitted?

Yes. The first few days you should eat soft, nutritious food. Your dentist will provide you with instructions about how to look after your teeth during the healing process.

Will I be able to chew and bite properly afterwards?

Yes. After 6 months, your dental implants will have completely bonded to the bone and your chewing capacity will be similar to that of a natural set of teeth.

How long do dental implants last?

Once a dental implant has bonded to the bone, and is functional, it can be left in place for many years. There are people who have had the same implants for over 40 years.

Could my body reject the implant? And if so, what happens then?

Dental implant rejection, infection or inadequate bonding to the bone is extremely rare, but could happen. A capsule could form around the implant, or it could get infected. In both cases the implant is simply removed and the wound can heal. Afterwards, your dentist could select a different type of implant, which will hopefully bond to the bone.

I don't have very much jawbone: am I eligible for implants?

If not much jawbone is available, often, it is still possible to work with dental implants. This is also the case if in the past you have been told that it was not possible. If there is a slight to serious loss of jawbone, short titanium implants can be used. These implants, barely 5-8 mm long, can be used in cases where implants of a more conventional length are not possible. The results provided by short implants are excellent.

Do health insurance companies reimburse dental implants?

As with most elective and aesthetic procedures, dental implants are not covered by most health insurance companies.
