When should I see an implantologist?

A visit to an implantologist is recommended when you are missing one or more teeth and are looking for a fixed replacement. If your existing dentures do not provide enough retention, an implant solution may also be suitable. In complex dental situations, such as insufficient jawbone or anatomical challenges, specialised implant care is essential. An implantologist assesses your oral health, draws up a treatment plan and, where necessary, carries out additional procedures such as bone augmentation. An implantologist can also advise on the best implant solutions, depending on your wishes and medical history. If there is any doubt about the stability of existing implants, or if you have recurring inflammation around implants, a check-up with the implantologist is essential. A consultation with the implantologist is also worthwhile when extractions are planned and implants can be placed immediately. The implantologist often works closely with your dentist and other specialists to provide the best possible care. Do not wait too long if you have concerns about the stability of your teeth or dentures. Seeing the implantologist in good time can prevent problems and improve the chances of successful implant treatment.
