Implantology
An implant is a kind of “new root” that is screwed into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be. This implant screw takes over the role of the natural root and later carries the new tooth replacement.
- Total duration
- approx. 3–6 months incl. healing
- Procedure
- outpatient, local anaesthetic, approx. 30–60 minutes per implant
- Lasts
- decades with good care
- Cost
- approx. €1,500–3,500 per implant incl. crown; bone augmentation extra if needed
- Insurance
- fixed subsidy only towards the restoration on the implant; private depending on tariff
All prices are non-binding guide values (German dental fee schedule GOZ, as of 2026) and depend on your individual findings. Your personal treatment and cost plan, which you receive before any major treatment, is binding.
Who implants are suitable for
- Single gaps, without grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth
- Larger gaps closed with implant-supported bridges
- Edentulous jaws: dentures find a secure hold on implants
Healthy gums and sufficient bone are required. We check both carefully, including with an X-ray.
How the treatment works
- Consultation and planning: together with you and our implantologists we draw up a treatment plan tailored to you.
- Placing the implant: the minor procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, with nitrous oxide on request.
- Healing phase: after about three to six months the implant has fused with the jawbone firmly enough to carry the new tooth replacement.
- Tooth replacement: crown, bridge or denture are made to fit precisely and attached to the implant.
Do not hesitate to ask us. We are happy to explain whether an implant is an option for you.
Care and durability
With good care, implants can last a lifetime. Careful home oral hygiene, regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning are important so that no inflammation develops around the implant.
