Dental implants - High-quality replacement for natural tooth roots

Dental implants are a modern solution for replacing missing teeth and serve as artificial tooth roots that are firmly anchored in the jaw. Made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or zirconium oxide, they provide a permanent base for dental crowns or bridges. To ensure maximum precision and safety, we use state-of-the-art digital volume tomography in our practice for exact planning and produce special drilling templates using the 3D printing process.

This page is intended as a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision as to whether dental implants are the right choice for you. Find out how we create decisive advantages for our patients through our specialization.

Understanding your options: The unique benefits of dental implants

Dental implants offer many advantages over other tooth replacement solutions. They are not only an aesthetically pleasing solution, but also significantly improve the quality of life. Implants preserve the jawbone and prevent it from receding, which typically occurs after tooth loss. They also enable natural chewing function and speech quality. In this section you can find out more about materials and technical aspects as well as personal success stories of our patients.

Immediate implant placement: Revolutionary solution for immediate tooth replacement

Immediate implant placement offers an immediate and efficient solution to tooth loss. This technique makes it possible to insert the implant immediately after the tooth has been extracted, significantly reducing the overall treatment time. The immediate insertion of a temporary restoration preserves the esthetic appearance and the patient is never edentulous. This procedure is particularly advantageous for teeth in the visible area.

Choosing Dr. Horvarth for my complete dental restoration was one of my best decisions. Dr. Horvarth is not only a personable and upbeat person but also a great specialist in his field. I hardly had any pain during the whole treatment. I am very satisfied and overjoyed with the result. I felt that I was in good hands at the  practice. Big praise and thanks to the whole team.

Once again I was looked after in a wonderful way in the ultra-modern & professional practice of Dr. Horvath. The extensive specialist knowledge, the modern treatment methods and the efficiency of the staff and Dr. Horvath personally are particularly impressive.

Here, even a visit to the dentist is a pleasure every time and the end result is more than satisfactory!

I can warmly recommend the Horvath dental practice 100%!

I luckily found Dr. Horvath's family dental practice on the Internet and the website really appealed to me.

I am a very critical and sensitive person and I had a dental phobia. I actually only wanted to have a dental filling, but when I made my first appointment with Dr. Sebastian Horvath, I felt very comfortable and competently advised. I therefore had a lot of confidence and decided to have a complete dental restoration: Two bridges, 8 implants and all teeth re-crowned.

It has been very worthwhile for me because it is a great new quality of life for my overall health.

I am very happy and glad that I entrusted myself to Dr. Sebastian Horvath. He has exceeded my expectations. I am very grateful to Dr. Sebastian Horvath and his highly qualified team.

Anyone who finds Dr. Sebastian Horvath can count themselves lucky!

I am very happy.

With gratitude, A. Portmann

I thank Dr. Horvath and the whole team very much that I can count myself among your patients.

Can't recommend it enough!

Background: I have struggled with a problem molar since I was a teenager and have seen several dentists over the years. I had this tooth removed and an implant placed in my home country. Corona came and due to travel restrictions the treatment was delayed, resulting in the implant healing in the wrong position and the tooth behind it cracking, making it impossible to attach a crown to it.

The solution: Dr. Horvath was able to come up with a long-term plan to solve the problem once and for all, and with the help of his lovely wife, we were able to create the necessary space for a crown, remove the implant, and place a brand new, custom-made bridge that was 3D printed literally in three hours. Part of it while I was pregnant.

This is a family practice that really cares about its patients. I have often come to my appointments alone with my baby and have always been warmly welcomed. Everything is planned so that it can be done in as few appointments as possible. As an expat in Switzerland, the reason I originally had treatment done in my home country was the cost of dentistry here. My treatment with Dr. Horvath (including an orthodontic treatment with his wife to align the teeth before the final bridge placement) was mostly covered by my supplementary health insurance in Switzerland, and in the end the whole treatment (including the aesthetic orthodontic treatment!) was cheaper than if I had traveled to my home country to have it done. I was missing a tooth for almost 5 years, and Dr. Horvath gave me brand new teeth in just a few hours 🙂

If you are considering going to Dr. Horvath for a checkup, stop thinking and just do it! I guarantee you won't regret it!!!

I have been with Dr. Horvath (senior and junior) for many years. Great doctors and team. The treatment is of the highest quality and utilizes the latest technology and expertise.

Philippe Zuminkon

Flexible appointments arranged so that you waste as little time as possible so you don't come back. Excellent, friendly reception at the front desk, same goes for all the doctors and dental hygienists on staff. Dr. Sebastian Horvath was just great, professional, after a diagnosis of my dental situation everything was done in no time. Although I speak German, I was pleased to be welcomed and treated in English. Everything is high tech, probably a bit more expensive, but compared to dentist prices in Switzerland, which are neither insured nor prohibitive, the value for money is remarkable. All in all, it's a win-win relationship. Highly recommended and many thanks to the team at Horvarth

Best Philippe Zumikon

The overall experience is indescribable. It has to be experienced.

I was lucky enough to find Dr. Sebastian Horvath as my dentist (30 minutes from Zurich). His competence and expertise are excellent and I feel I am in the best hands with him. He takes the time to explain EVERYTHING.

The practice itself is also impressive. State-of-the-art technology and equipment are in place and Dr. Horvath and his team use them to provide the best possible care. It's relaxing to know that I'm in good hands here.

I can only recommend Dr. Sebastian Horvath and his team. If you are looking for a competent and modern dental practice, you have definitely come to the right place. Thank you very much for the excellent care, Dr. Horvath!

Our practice combines many years of experience with state-of-the-art technology to offer you dental implants that fit seamlessly into your natural dentition. As a recognized Straumann Center of Excellence, we guarantee the highest level of expertise in implantology and the use of the latest procedures. Through continuous further training and the targeted use of high-quality materials, we ensure that every implant is optimally tailored to your individual needs. Patients from Switzerland also benefit from high-quality treatment at conditions that are generally 30-40% below the usual costs in Switzerland – without compromising on quality and service.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of biocompatible material that is inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. It is particularly suitable if adjacent teeth are healthy and should not be ground down, or if a removable prosthesis is to be avoided. Our custom-made implants ensure natural aesthetics and restore full chewing function.

Implantation is a precise and safe procedure that is carried out in several stages. In our practice, we attach great importance to careful planning in order to carry out the procedure as safely, predictably and gently as possible.

Before every implantation, we create a DVT (digital volume tomogram), a three-dimensional X-ray image that enables us to analyze the jawbone precisely. We use this data to produce an individual drilling template. This ensures that the implant is inserted in the optimal position with millimeter precision. The procedure is therefore minimally invasive, quick and extremely precise.

The implantation itself takes place under local anesthesia. The implant is inserted into the jaw with the help of the drilling template, which ensures maximum protection of the surrounding tissue. The healing phase then begins, during which the implant grows firmly into the jawbone – a process known as osseointegration, which usually takes around three months. However, the exact healing time can vary from person to person and depends on factors such as bone quality, general health and the number of implants inserted.

After successful healing, the final ceramic crown is placed on the implant. The crown is fitted precisely so that it blends in perfectly with the overall appearance of the dentition, both visually and functionally.

As a Straumann Center of Excellence for immediate implant placement, we offer you state-of-the-art solutions for immediate tooth replacement. With immediate implant placement, the implant is inserted into the gap immediately after tooth extraction. This method considerably shortens the overall treatment time and in many cases enables the immediate insertion of a temporary restoration so that you are never without teeth.

The advantages of this technique lie not only in the time saved, but also in the protection of the jawbone and soft tissue, which leads to an aesthetically pleasing result. In our practice, we use precise 3D implant planning using digital volume tomography (DVT) and individually manufactured drilling templates. These technologies ensure maximum precision and safety during the procedure.

Whether immediate implant placement is suitable for you depends on various factors such as the condition of the jawbone and the absence of inflammation. In a personal consultation, we will assess your individual situation and develop the optimal treatment plan together with you.

Dental implants are known for their longevity. Long-term studies show that around 90-95% of implants are still fully functional after ten years. A meta-analysis by the University of Mainz even found that 88% of implants are still in place after 20 years. Link to the study

The actual lifespan of an implant depends on various factors, including the quality of oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and the patient’s general state of health. With proper care, implants can therefore often last a lifetime.

Compared to conventional dentures such as bridges or prostheses, implants offer the advantage that they function independently of neighboring teeth. Whereas with bridges, the neighboring teeth serve as abutments and are thus loaded, implants are independent solutions. This minimizes the risk of problems with one tooth affecting the entire construction.

In our practice, we use high-quality implants made of titanium or zirconium oxide ceramic, which are characterized by durability and natural aesthetics. These materials enable us to produce implants that blend harmoniously into your dentition and are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

The cost of a dental implant varies depending on the individual treatment required and the material used. In our practice, the prices are usually 30-40% below the usual costs in Switzerland. After a detailed consultation, we will provide you with a transparent cost estimate that lists all services in detail.

Depending on the individual situation, other methods of tooth replacement may also be considered, such as dental bridges. In a personal consultation, we will clarify together which treatment method is most suitable for you.

You can find more information on this topic on this page: Dental bridge vs. dental implant

In order for a dental implant to be stable and permanently anchored in the jaw, sufficient bone substance is required. If the jaw bone does not have sufficient volume due to tooth loss, inflammation or natural regression processes, there are various ways to build up the bone in a targeted manner.

In many cases, bone augmentation can be performed. This involves reinforcing the jawbone with autologous or synthetic bone material to create a stable base for the implant. Depending on the extent, bone augmentation can be carried out at the same time as the implantation or a few months beforehand.

Another option is to use special short or narrow implants that require less bone. In certain cases, an alternative implantation technique, such as inserting the implant into more stable bone areas, can also be a solution.

As a Straumann Center of Excellence, we work with the latest digital planning and implantology techniques to find individual solutions for every jaw situation. In a detailed consultation, we clarify whether bone augmentation is necessary for you and which method is most suitable. Our goal is a safe and successful long-term implantation.

Smoking and certain general diseases can affect the healing of dental implants and increase the risk of complications. Nicotine and other harmful substances in tobacco smoke impair the blood supply to the gums and jawbone, which can slow down the healing of the implant. Studies show that smokers have a higher risk of implant loss and inflammation such as peri-implantitis.

Certain diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis or immunodeficiency can also impair osseointegration, i.e. the firm ingrowth of the implant into the bone. In diabetics, however, good blood sugar control can significantly reduce the risk. Medication that affects bone metabolism (e.g. bisphosphonates) should also be carefully checked before implantation.

In our practice, we attach great importance to an individual risk analysis. If risk factors are present, we will discuss with you possible measures to optimize the implant requirements. These include, for example, improved oral hygiene, smoking cessation programs or close follow-up care to ensure the long-term success of your implants.

We will clarify whether dental implants are a suitable solution in your individual case in a detailed consultation in order to develop the best possible treatment strategy.
