Everything You Need to Know About Dental Implants
In our blog, you will find all the essential information about dental implants. Explained in a well-founded, understandable, and practical manner.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium or zirconia that is firmly anchored in the jawbone. It replaces a missing tooth and serves as a stable base for restorations such as crowns, bridges or dentures, restoring a natural appearance and full chewing function.
When Is a Dental Implant Advisable and When Not?
A dental implant is advisable when teeth are missing and a stable, long-term solution is desired. However, it should only be used when the state of health, oral hygiene, and bone condition are suitable. Caution is advised in cases of severe general illnesses, inadequate care, or unrealistic expectations.
How much does a dental implant cost?
Costs vary depending on the treatment complexity, materials used, and region. Typically, the total price for a single tooth restoration ranges between CHF 3,500 and CHF 5,500. The Swiss Implant Foundation recommends seeking individual advice from dental specialists in Switzerland.
Who is the Implant Foundation Switzerland?
