Implants at IJssel Dental

Implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring a full, functional smile. At IJssel Dental, we offer custom-made dental implants that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and durable.

What are implants?

Dental implants are artificial roots placed in the jaw to replace missing teeth. They consist of a titanium implant that is inserted into the jawbone, and a crown that is attached to the implant. This creates a strong and natural replacement tooth.

Why choose implants?

Implants offer a durable and aesthetic solution for missing teeth. They help restore chewing function, prevent bone loss in the jaw and provide a natural-looking smile. In addition, unlike traditional bridges, surrounding teeth do not need to be ground.

Placing an implant is done in several stages. First, a titanium implant is placed in the jawbone during a surgical procedure. After a period of healing, during which the implant grows into the jawbone (osseointegration), a crown is attached to the implant to complete the replacement tooth.

The entire process of placing an implant usually takes several months. This includes the time needed for healing and integration of the implant into the jawbone. The actual placement of the implant and crown can usually be completed in a few appointments.

The process from placing an implant to having a custom-made crown costs around €2000 on average. This amount can vary depending on your specific situation, such as the complexity of the treatment and any additional procedures such as bone augmentation.

The placement of an implant is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort or swelling, but this is usually manageable with painkillers and anti-inflammatories. We will provide you with instructions for post-operative care to promote your recovery.

Implants are designed to last. With good oral hygiene and regular maintenance, implants can last for decades. It is important to take good care of your teeth and implants and visit your dentist regularly for checkups.

In most cases, people who are healthy and have enough jawbone to support the implant are candidates for implants. If you do not have enough jawbone, additional procedures such as bone augmentation may be necessary. Your dentist will evaluate your situation and advise you on the best options.

Good oral hygiene is essential to maintaining your implants. Brush your teeth and implants twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, use dental floss or interdental brushes daily, and rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash. Regular dental checkups will also help keep your implants in top condition.
