Understand to Decide

What does it consist of?

The phrase “implants without bone” usually refers to situations involving bone loss. An implant needs adequate support. Assessment helps identify which bone regeneration, implant design or rehabilitation options may be suitable.

This is how your treatment is planned.

An examination and any indicated imaging help establish the available bone volume. Options may include bone regeneration, particular implant designs or a prosthesis without implants.

How it may help you

  • Consideration of alternatives
  • Anatomy-based plan
  • Information on complementary treatments

Can it be for you?

Assessment may be useful if you have been told you have limited bone or have had missing teeth for some time. Your anatomy, general health, gums and expectations are reviewed before an option is proposed.

An informed decision

No technique is universal. Complex procedures have risks and may require referral to a professional or center with the right means.

Your process, step by step

01

Times and visits

Bone regeneration may add further healing stages. Timing is estimated after assessment and can change according to progress.

02

Your comfort

Discomfort depends on the procedure needed. Anaesthetic, recovery and follow-up for each stage are explained.

03

After treatment

Good hygiene, avoiding tobacco and attending follow-up appointments are particularly important. Do not start using a prosthesis earlier than instructed.
