The Foundation for a Stable Implant

A prerequisite for the success of implant treatment is normal wound healing and a sufficient amount of bone. If the jawbone is not loaded, it recedes the result is insufficient bone substance for a stable implant bed.

A precise determination of the available bone volume is made on the basis of the 3D images from our digital volume tomography (DVT). Even with insufficient bone volume, help is available: depending on the extent of bone loss or the size of the defect, different procedures are used. We offer you the full spectrum of bone augmentation.

Individual Paths to a Stable Implant Bed

Depending on the size and location of the bone deficit, we choose the appropriate augmentation procedure.

Bone Substitute Materials

A smaller bone deficit can be compensated with bone substitute material, which is inserted directly during implantation often supplemented with added bone chips.

Autogenous Bone

For a larger bone deficit and narrow, flat, or atrophied jaw areas, augmentation is carried out using the body's own tissue from the jaw area.

Bone Spreading / Bone Splitting

For very narrow alveolar ridges, the alveolar process is precisely spread or split a gentle alternative to classic bone augmentation.

Sinus Lift

If there is too little bone volume in the upper jaw, the floor of the maxillary sinus is raised by inserting bone material a well-established special form of bone augmentation.

Das Wichtigste auf einen Blick

  • Ein ausreichendes Knochenangebot im Kiefer ist Voraussetzung für ein stabiles Implantat.
  • Das vorhandene Knochenangebot wird anhand von 3D-Aufnahmen der digitalen Volumentomographie (DVT) bestimmt.
  • Je nach Ausmaß des Knochendefizits kommen unterschiedliche Aufbauverfahren zum Einsatz.
  • Zu den Verfahren zählen Knochenersatzmaterialien, Eigenknochen, Bone-Spreading/Bone-Splitting und der Sinuslift.
