Missing teeth can affect both your chewing function and your confidence. Dental implants in Regensburg provide a stable foundation for individual crowns, bridges or implant-supported restorations. At Dres. Krieter, we assess your situation personally and guide you through the process from the initial examination and planning to implant placement and restoration.
We replace missing teeth with implants, create the necessary conditions through bone augmentation where needed and guide you through the restoration with high-quality dental work. We plan each treatment individually to suit your dental situation.
Preliminary examination, consultation, implant placement and restoration
Before placing one or more implants, we discuss the treatment options and possible risks with you in detail. We also ask about your wishes and take them into account when planning your treatment.
Before implant placement, we check for inflammation, assess the available bone and determine whether the treatment is suitable from a health perspective. If inflammation needs to be treated first or bone augmentation is required, we will explain the next steps in detail.
We then discuss which restoration is suitable for you and how many implants are needed. Depending on your situation, one implant can replace an individual tooth or serve as the basis for a bridge or implant-supported restoration. We prepare a treatment and cost plan based on this assessment.
Implant placement is usually performed under local anaesthetic. We monitor the healing process regularly. Once the implant is firmly anchored in the bone, the individually planned restoration is fitted.
Augmentation
If there is not enough jawbone available, bone augmentation can improve the conditions for placing a dental implant. Whether this treatment is necessary and which approach is suitable depends on your individual bone situation and the planned restoration.
If conventional periodontal treatment is not sufficient, periodontal surgery may help preserve your teeth in the long term. Inflamed periodontal pockets are treated and the tooth roots are thoroughly cleaned. We tailor the approach to your individual situation.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is anchored in the jaw. A crown, bridge or even a prosthesis can then be attached to it. This is how we restore chewing function and aesthetics after tooth loss at our dental practice in Regensburg.
First, we have a detailed consultation. During the preliminary examination, we check for inflammation, assess the available bone and determine your overall suitability. We then plan the number and type of implants and prepare a treatment and cost plan. Implant placement is usually performed under local anaesthetic, followed by a healing phase and later the fitting of the dental restoration.
Statutory health insurance funds do not cover the actual costs of implants. Only the dentures placed on top of them are subsidised as part of standard care. You can see the expected personal contribution in the treatment and cost plan.
We can only achieve a stable result if there is no inflammation, sufficient bone is available and you are suitable for the procedure. If, for example, there is inflammation in the jaw, it must be treated first.
Implant placement is usually performed under local anaesthetic. Once the jaw is numb, we begin the procedure. After the operation, you should rest, maintain good oral hygiene and attend the follow-up appointments.
The implant must first heal firmly into the bone. During this time, we regularly monitor the healing process. Once the implant is stable, it is uncovered, an impression is taken and the final restoration is fitted.
You should avoid physical exertion immediately after implant placement. Good oral hygiene and disinfecting rinses support healing. We monitor the healing process at regular intervals.
Dental implants may be suitable for patients who want fixed tooth replacement after tooth loss and whose bone situation, possibly after augmentation, and general health allow the procedure.
