Your own teeth are always the best. But what to do if a tooth is lost or several are missing? In our dental practice for dental implants in Cologne, we offer modern solutions to permanently restore function and aesthetics.
A dental implant in Cologne replaces the lost tooth firmly in the jaw and feels like a natural tooth. Our experienced dentists will advise you personally on the various implant options and show why an implant is the most durable and natural form of dental replacement – for a confident and beautiful smile.
MODERN AND SAFE
The planning and placement of dental implants in Cologne has long been part of our daily routine in our dental practice. Around 1.3 million dental implants are placed in Germany every year – clear evidence of the high success rate and acceptance of this modern treatment method. As experienced implantologists, we achieve particularly sustainable results with precise planning and innovative technology.
The high success rate of implantation is confirmed by numerous long-term studies. A careful preparation is crucial: Our dental team in Cologne carries out detailed preliminary examinations, digital 3D X-rays and computer-aided planning to position each implant exactly. In this way, we ensure long-term stability, function and aesthetics for your new dental implant.

What are dental implants?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is firmly anchored in the jawbone and fuses with the bone there. It is usually made of titanium or ceramic and, after healing, completely takes over the function of a natural tooth root.
The implant is connected to the individually manufactured dental prosthesis from our in-house dental laboratory via a connecting element. The result is dental implants that correspond to natural teeth in function and appearance and offer a secure, stable chewing sensation.
Our dentists in Cologne will advise you in detail on modern implants, their advantages and the materials such as titanium or ceramic implants. In this way, you will receive a dental prosthesis that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also ensures long-term stability and high wearing comfort.
When to use implants
A dental implant in Cologne is often the best solution if one or more teeth need to be replaced. Tooth loss can be caused by periodontitis, tooth decay, an accident, inadequate oral hygiene or a missing tooth.
With modern dental implants, we can replace lost teeth gently and permanently – without grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. This means that they remain intact and the natural tooth substance is preserved.
In our dental practice in Cologne, we rely on high-quality implants made of titanium or ceramic, which are firmly anchored in the jawbone. Our goal is clear: stable dentures, a natural appearance and the long-term preservation of your healthy teeth.

TREATMENT PLANNING AND PROCEDURE
1. ANAMNESIS AND DIAGNOSTICS
Before each treatment, our dentist first records the medical history of our patients. In addition, modern technology using three-dimensional computer-aided diagnostics enables us to have absolute planning security today. For example, we receive reliable information about the available bone supply, which is required for anchoring the implants.
“The exact preparation on the computer is the best prerequisite for a successful operation. It reduces the severity of the procedure and shortens the subsequent treatment.”
2. PLANNING, CONSULTATION AND PREPARATION
After completion of the anamnesis and diagnostics, a detailed treatment, procedure and cost planning is carried out, which we then discuss in detail with our patients. According to your decision, we prepare the next steps to initiate the treatment in our dental practice in Cologne in coordination with your health insurance company.
3. IMPLANTATION
The treatment procedure is carried out according to the previously defined planning and depends on the individual requirements of each patient. For example, the available bone supply and the condition of the gums can influence the procedure.
The implantation can be roughly divided into the following phases:
- Insert implants
- Healing phase
- Exposure
- Prosthetic restoration / dentures
4. FOLLOW-UP AND CARE
Regular inspection of the implants and dentures after the actual treatment as well as regular professional cleaning (care) prolongs the life of your high-quality restoration. With good care, implants can remain anchored in the jaw for a lifetime.
Questions and Answers
Are there exclusion criteria for dental implants?
There are hardly any age restrictions in implantology. Only children and adolescents in the growth phase cannot be treated with dental implants. Certain clinical pictures and heavy tobacco consumption can also argue against dental implant treatment.
Why do many people choose implants?
Hardly anyone wants healthy teeth to be ground down to make a bridge, for example. And many patients prefer fixed teeth to removable dentures. That’s why more and more people are opting for implants.
Do implants have advantages for aesthetics and function?
Dental implants come very close to the natural model of the tooth root in terms of function. Once the jawbone has connected to the dental implant, it takes over the functions of the missing tooth root. For example, the chewing pressure continues to be transferred to the jawbone, which means that it does not recede and retains its function. A threatening jawbone loss, also called arthrophy, is thus counteracted. Dental implants thus offer the best prerequisites for your long-term, secure and aesthetic denture care.
Do you notice the implant?
Very close to nature. In the mouth, the dental implant or the denture feels like a natural tooth. After a short time, you will not recognize any difference and will not experience any restrictions. Speaking, laughing, eating and kissing will continue to be possible without restrictions with a denture on implants. Thus, the most natural and therefore very important things in life will return to normal.
Are dental implants in Cologne a cost-intensive solution?
If we consider the expected long “lifespan” as well as the enormous advantages of the dental implant in function, comfort and aesthetics, we must put the resulting costs into perspective. With regular check-ups and optimal care, the longevity of dental implants is scientifically proven. For this you will receive an extended guarantee on your dentures. Your high-quality denture on implant basis is therefore a safe and long-term investment in your health and satisfaction.
How does a dental implantation work in Cologne?
The implantation is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. After precise planning, the implant is precisely inserted into the jawbone. As soon as the bone has firmly fused with the implant, the individual denture is inserted. If necessary, we perform a bone augmentation or sinus lift in advance to create optimal conditions.
