Frequently Asked Questions
All information about titanium and ceramic dental implants in Vienna!
Do dental implants need to be cleaned?
Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements and are therefore not susceptible to tooth decay. Nevertheless, regular cleaning and care with an electric toothbrush, dental floss and interdental brushes is necessary.
How long does it take to insert a dental implant?
The duration of your dental implant treatment depends on how many you need. It usually takes a few hours to place an immediate implant to cover a missing tooth. Immediate implants are ideal for patients who want to solve the problem quickly and effectively. Immediate implants are also beneficial for the patient's oral health, as they ensure that the open tooth cavity is not exposed to bacteria and possible infection for too long.
How long does a dental implant last?
Standard dental implants can last about 20 to 30 years, depending on how well you care for them after they are placed.
Can anyone get dental implants?
There may be circumstances that mean dental implants are not a suitable treatment for everyone. These include patients with extensive tooth decay or gum disease, patients taking immunosuppressants, patients who regularly grind or clench their teeth, and patients who smoke more than five cigarettes a day. Your dentist will always examine your teeth and jaw to determine if the jaw and surrounding area are strong enough to support implants. Please make an appointment at Smile4Life Implant Center to discuss with a member of your team the possibility of receiving same day dental implants in your individual case to get the best advice.
When should dental implants not be used?
Dental implants are a popular option for replacing missing or damaged teeth. However, it is important to note that they may not be suitable for everyone.

To determine if dental implants are a viable option for you, a consultation with a dentist is necessary.
What are the advantages of modern implantology?
Modern implantology offers several advantages. Implants can mimic the appearance of natural teeth very well and are therefore a good option for people who want to improve their smile.implants are made of strong, biocompatible materials such as titanium that can last for many years. Dental implants can help preserve the jawbone by providing stimulation that mimics the natural forces of biting and chewing. Implants can help restore the ability to chew and speak and can also help prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting.Dental implant treatment is a long-term solution for missing teeth and generally has a high success rate.
Is the implantation painful?

Are there alternatives to implants?

Can I do sports with implants?

Do dental implants feel natural?
A dental implant is an artificial restoration of a missing tooth in the mouth. It is a prosthesis that you cannot feel like a natural tooth with a nerve ending, but which perfectly matches the look and feel of your surrounding teeth and forms an integral part of your restored smile and matches the color of your surrounding natural teeth.
Is it possible to get dental implants with receding gums?
Gum recession, often the result of advanced periodontitis, can make the placement of a dental implant too difficult, as the artificial root needs the support of healthy gums, jawbone and soft tissue around the jaw to be successfully anchored in the mouth. If this is a problem for you, contact us to make an appointment.

How does dental implantation work?
Implants are inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia or, if desired, under general anesthesia. After a few months, during which the implants fuse with the bone, the final prosthesis is screwed on. During this time, you will receive a temporary denture; your own denture can also be modified. If the jawbone is in good condition, the latest procedures enable immediate implantation, and oral hygiene is particularly important for every implantation, which is ensured with a professional prophylaxis program.
Can the implant be rejected?
Usually not, if the patient adheres to oral hygiene and regular check-ups at the dentist. In the event of an infection, the patient should consult a dentist as soon as possible.

Professional oral hygiene should be carried out twice a year, as with your own teeth. A control x-ray is also taken once a year.
