Have you lost a tooth and are considering replacing it with an implant?

First of all, we need to understand the exact extent of the problem. It is necessary to evaluate the health of your mouth, the volume of the bone where the tooth is missing, your chewing function, and the medications you take regularly.

To determine whether a tooth can be replaced with an implant, you first need to visit the dentist to have your specific case evaluated.

What are the key elements the dentist examines?

You must check for the presence of periodontal disease (a disease affecting the gums) and verify that there is sufficient bone at the site where a new tooth is needed. If periodontal disease is present, it must be treated and brought under control through a course of periodontal therapy. If there is insufficient bone, it can be reconstructed using state-of-the-art surgical techniques that have become routine at our practice.

Who is the person that, following a thorough diagnosis, determines how to restore a fixed tooth for you using an implant?

The dentist. It is even better if they have completed a university master’s program in implantology or specialized in oral surgery!
If you need an expert to evaluate your case, you can schedule an appointment for an initial consultation with Dr. Davide Oberholtzer or Dr. Ludovico Martini.

Dr. Oberholtzer obtained a Level II University Master’s degree in implantology from the University of Padua in 2012, while Dr. Martini specialized in oral surgery at the University of Trieste in 2011. Through a careful clinical and radiographic assessment, the doctors can tell you exactly what needs to be done. And if the implant placement requires bone reconstruction, you are in absolutely good hands. Dr. Martini has pursued a training path that allowed him to refine his technique alongside some of the world’s best oral surgeons.
Finally, if the prospect of undergoing this type of procedure makes you apprehensive, it is worth noting that any implant case can be managed using anxiolysis; if necessary, the practice collaborates with a team of anesthesiologists for this purpose.

It is worth noting that our practice uses only implants and components from premium brands, backed by decades of scientific documentation.
