How can you tell an implant is original?
- After treatment you should be given an implant card / warranty certificate,
- The card should state the brand, model, diameter/length and lot (serial) number,
- For longevity it is also important that the superstructure (abutment) parts are original parts of the same brand.
What determines implant prices?
Implant prices in 2026 vary depending on the brand, whether a single tooth or All-on-4 / All-on-6 is planned, the type of superstructure (zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal) and additional procedures such as a sinus lift or bone graft.
Single-tooth implant or bridge?
When a single tooth is missing, an implant replaces it without cutting down the healthy neighbouring teeth and slows bone loss. A bridge is quicker but requires the neighbouring teeth to be reduced. Your gum and bone condition is assessed with a periodontal examination.
Failed implant treatment and correction
If there is bleeding, discharge, bone loss (peri-implantitis) or a poorly fitting prosthesis around an implant, the tissues around the implant need treatment and, if necessary, the implant must be removed and re-planned. Treatment of peri-implantitis falls within the field of periodontology.
Frequently asked questions
How many days does it take for an implant to heal?
The soft tissue heals in 1–2 weeks; fusion with the bone (osseointegration) is usually shorter in the lower jaw and longer in the upper jaw, and takes a few months.
Is pain after an implant normal?
Mild pain and swelling in the first 2–3 days are normal. If pain increases, or you develop fever or discharge, call the clinic.
Can diabetic patients have implants?
Yes, if blood sugar is under control; healing and infection risks are assessed together with your dentist.
