Bionic Teeth
Look Great
Chew Even Better
Embarrassment in social settings, which can lead to lower
self-esteem, is a common problem associated with missing
teeth full or partial dentures.
With Today's incredible technology, these problems can be a thing of the past. It is no longer
necessary to lack confidence in social settings or to have a reduced
ability to chew.
DENTAL IMPLANTS ARE THE ANSWER.
For the first time, the replacement for missing teeth can be as
strong or stronger than the original. Like teeth, dental
implants are embedded in the jawbone. The bone actually bonds to the
implants. This allows the teeth to be replaced without placing any
pressure on the gums, thus eliminating the pain normally associated with
dentures. Using dental implants, the upper teeth can be replaced without
covering the roof of the mouth. By exposing the roof of the mouth, the
former denture wearer can enjoy the subtle tastes and textures of food
and drink that they have been missing out on for so many years.
The ANKYLOS System
Progress Means Thinking Ahead
The innovative,
practice-orientated ANKYLOS Implant
System was developed by Prof. Dr. G.H.
Nentwig and Dr. W. Moser in 1985 with
the stated purpose of reproducing as
closely as possible the prosthetic
characteristics of the natural tooth.
Making use of the latest scientific
findings and many years of clinical
experience, a new implant was developed
with a structure which uses the
physiological conditions in the alveolar
bone for optimal load transmission
during functional loading. Its clinical
use since 1987 is impressive proof of
the validity of this concept.

Why Dental Implants?
We all feel that our teeth are important. But, when your smile begins to affect your quality of life, the health, function and appearance of your teeth take on a whole new meaning.
Nobody needs to endure unhealthy or missing teeth, or the embarrassment of slipping dentures. Now, with dental implants, your dentist can restore your missing teeth without needing to grind down adjacent teeth (crown & bridge) or employ traditional dentures (ridge supported and retained).
With Dental Implants, your dentist can provide you with ideal function and esthetics. You will again smile with confidence. No other dental procedure can give you a more natural look or anchor crowns more securely.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants act as artificial roots. They are surgically placed into your jaw, and are the closest substitute to natural teeth in form and function. Once a dental implant is firmly integrated into your jaw, it can be used to support single crowns, bridges and dentures. Whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth or all of your teeth, dental implants may be an option for you.
What is the Implant Procedure?
Based on your indications, dental implants are placed in one or two stages. In a Single-Stage procedure, the implant site is precisely prepared and the implant is inserted into the jawbone with the top of the implant extending through the gums.
In a Two-Stage procedure, the implant site is precisely prepared and the implant is inserted into the jaw, and the implant is completely covered by the gums.
Depending on your treatment plan and indications, implants can be restored immediately (Single-Stage) or after a pre-determined healing period (Two-Stage).
The next phase includes impressions of your implant, soft tissue contouring, custom fabrication of the crown, and attachment of the crown to the implant.

How Do I Care for My Dental Implants?
Caring for dental implants is the same as caring for natural teeth. Simply follow the oral hygiene basics, which include brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups. Your dentist or your hygienist will show you how to keep your new teeth clean.

Simply ask your dentist. After a thorough exam and dental x-rays, your dentist can help you determine if dental implants are right for you.
