Thanks to Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark's fantastic discovery, millions of patients today have had lost teeth replaced with titanium implants. The implant treatment makes a difference in the quality of life and gives the patient the feeling of getting back their own teeth. It improves chewing ability, taste, confidence, and the general well-being of the patient. Titanium is a body-friendly element, therefore a screw made of titanium, also called an implant, can act as a permanent tooth root. The implant is anchored in the jawbone, and then will be cowered by a crown, bridge or prosthesis.

Implant treatment is a safe solution for the permanent replacement of one or more teeth especially if the patient desires a permanent solution. This treatment is also good for patients that have teeth that will not support other types of solutions such as bridges. Implants have a very good prognosis and feel almost like new teeth. They work as treatment for both single teeth and for completely toothless jaws. Inserting dental implants is an investment for life. We work with implant systems from the manufacturer Straumann, a proven and well-documented system with extensive research and clinical studies. We also work closely with Uppsala KäkKirurgisk Centrum (UKKC) and the surgical department at the Akademiska Sjukhuset.
