An implant replaces the tooth root, providing a fixed, load-bearing, and invisible solution. We plan "crown-down," use 3D imaging (CBCT) when necessary, and place implants with 3D-printed surgical guides made in-house. We work with proven premium systems made of titanium or zirconia, chosen based on the specific case. We are a family-run business since 1985 with no investor interests. You will have one consistent clinician from consultation to final crown. Our practice is in Jestetten, near Zurich.

We start with the future crown. The emergence profile, hygiene access, and contact points are designed up front. This reduces food impaction and supports a natural soft tissue profile.

Risk in Sight
CBCT-supported
Above, you can see the implant position planned in the 3D X-ray image. This allows the implant to be aligned precisely in the bone—without endangering neighboring structures and ensuring that the subsequent crown fits perfectly. The image below shows the drilling template produced using 3D printing. This is used during the operation to insert the implant precisely as planned digitally beforehand.
Risk in Sight
3D imaging (CBCT) reliably shows bone, anatomy, and neighboring structures. We pre-plan angulation, distances, and augmentation, following recognized CBCT guidelines with strict indications.

Titanium or zirconia?
Indication before brand
Titanium is the robust, decades-proven standard, while zirconia is metal-free with growing evidence of its compatibility with soft tissue. We choose the option that best fits the tissue, load, and aesthetics.

The emergence profile, contact points, and crown height are digitally defined, so the restoration sits naturally and is easy to clean. Prosthetics lead surgery.

Both materials have clear strengths. Titanium is extremely durable, with decades of supporting data. Zirconia is metal-free, highly aesthetic, and has a growing evidence base. Our recommendation is indication-driven, taking into account soft tissues, bite, load, and desired appearance.

Implants can replace single teeth or larger spans and can stabilize prosthetics. They are anchored in the bone and are non-removable. We discuss alternatives, such as bridges, neutrally.

Timing & Loading
When to charge and why?
Osseointegration refers to the stable integration of the implant into the jawbone. Our implants made of titanium or zirconium oxide are particularly tissue-friendly and promote bone growth thanks to their surface structure. After about three months, the implant is firmly anchored and can be fitted with a crown.

Rehabilitation with a plan
When alignment, bite, or extensive defects are part of the picture, we plan the whole case first – often in phases (e.g., align, then surgery, then refinement). Outcome: functionally stable, naturally aesthetic.

With immediate implantation, the implant is inserted immediately after tooth extraction. This shortens the duration of treatment, and a temporary restoration preserves aesthetics, especially in the visible area.
Tooth extraction, implant placement, and temporary restoration in one appointment
In this case, we replaced a tooth that was beyond repair with an implant and a temporary restoration—all in a single operation. After three months, the temporary restoration was replaced with a permanent crown that blended harmoniously into the row of teeth.
Tooth extraction, implant placement, and temporary restoration in one appointment
With immediate implantation, a tooth is replaced with an implant immediately after extraction and a temporary tooth is inserted at the same time. This means that there is no gap in the teeth and no additional operations are necessary. This method shortens the duration of treatment and preserves aesthetics from the outset.

Natural contour for a harmonious outcome
Gum surgery around implants
Before: Defect after tooth loss with irregular gum contour
After: Microsurgical correction for natural aesthetics and stable function
Natural contour for a harmonious outcome
Gum augmentation is essential for long-term implant success. After tooth loss, defects often occur that compromise both function and aesthetics. Using microsurgical techniques, we restore the natural gum contour, creating the foundation for an implant that looks natural and remains stable over time.

Complex rehabilitation with orthodontics and implants
Function and aesthetics combined
In this case, the left lateral incisor was missing. First, we aligned the teeth orthodontically to create the ideal position for the implant. We then inserted the implant and, after the healing phase, fitted it with a crown. The combination of orthodontics and implants allowed us to close the gap precisely and permanently restore both function and aesthetics.

Function and aesthetics without compromise
A patient wanted a metal-free replacement for a missing molar. We opted for a ceramic implant that integrated perfectly into the tissue. After a three-month healing phase, it was fitted with an all-ceramic crown—providing a durable, functional, and aesthetic solution.

Short and concise – the most important questions about dental implants.
It’s performed with local anesthesia and is generally well tolerated. Swelling is often mild, and we provide clear aftercare instructions.
It usually takes three months from implantation to the placement of the crown. We plan realistically and explain why a particular approach makes sense.
A drilling template is not always necessary, but we generally use one. It increases precision and safety, shortens the procedure, and makes it significantly less stressful for the patient.
Titanium has decades of excellent evidence. Zirconia also performs well and is metal-free. We will recommend the material that best fits your tissues, bite, and goals.
Bone augmentation is only performed if it is necessary for stability or aesthetics. As a rule, we choose an implant that suits the situation and only perform bone augmentation if it is really necessary. We explain everything transparently in advance.
No. You will have one consistent clinician throughout — a family-run practice without investor pressure.
Yes. Our practice is easy to reach (about 20 minutes from Zurich Airport). We schedule multiple appointments back-to-back, so travel is worthwhile.
