Smile with confidence.
The Astra Tech implant system is the best solution for permanent replacement of one or more teeth. Our system is the result of extensive scientific research and clinical studies. Now you can laugh and eat as you please, knowing that your teeth are securely in place.

Quite simply, you can count on natural looking teeth and the attractive, confident smile that comes with it.
The platform for all dental implant solutions is a small titanium screw. It grows rapidly together with bone tissue to form a new, stable tooth root.
In this brochure, you can learn more about the basic concepts of dental implants and how the treatment is
carried out. You can also read the personal accounts of people who describe why they chose dental implants and how it changed their lives.

A well-proven solution that
is 40 years old.
Implants are nothing new in dental care. In fact, dental
implants have been used to permanently replace one, several or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, since the mid-1960s.

Dental implants are small screws made of titanium.
It is a metal accepted by the body and it has a well documented ability to heal together with bone tissue.
Based on years of extensive research, Astra Tech
has developed a unique dental implant system that
provides a secure anchor for new, natural looking
teeth, quickly and simply. Let’s take a closer look at
the parts of a dental implant:

Titanium implant = a new root for a new tooth
The dental implant is just another name for the titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone to form the foundation of the implant. The length and thickness of the dental implant depends
on the amount of bone tissue present and the size of the jaw.

The abutment ensures a perfect attachment
An abutment is a ceramic or titanium component that ensures a secure fit between the dental implant and the crown.

For crowns, bridges, or prostheses
Once the dental implant and the abutment are in place, it is
time to fit the crown, the bridge, or the prosthesis for an entire upper or lower jaw. Whatever the extent of the procedure and type of implant, you can count on teeth that will remain in place for a long time to come.

Attractive and secure all your life
Dental implants have many advantages compared to
traditional crown and bridge solutions. Here are the main
reasons for dental implants:
• Dental implants look, feel and function like your
natural teeth.
• Healthy teeth do not need to be ground down to
support dental implants.
• Anchoring dental implants in the jawbone stimulates
bone tissue and gums, ensuring an attractive, esthetic
result, while helping to maintain facial structures.
• Dental implants do not require any adhesives to hold
the new teeth in place, and eliminate discomfort and
insecurity of loose, ill-fi tting dentures.
• Last but not least: you get a secure and permanent
tooth replacement.

Conventional solutions usually involve grinding down adjacent healthy teeth to support a bridge. In addition, these solutions do not stimulate the underlying bone which can, in turn, result in a withering away of bone tissue and, ultimately, receding gums. Dental implants, on the other hand, are anchored in the jawbone, stimulating bone tissue just like natural teeth. A dental implant provides attractive, long-term results. The implant actually stimulates the bone tissue, contributing to healthy gums around the new tooth.

Implant solutions for every need
A dental implant is the optimal solution for anyone who is missing one or more teeth. The Astra Tech implant system can be tailored to different needs, so that virtually anybody can get teeth that look and function like natural teeth. Fully developed bone tissue, however, is an important prerequisite. This is why dental implants are normally not installed in people under the age of 18.
Replacing a single tooth
A crown mounted on an implant is the best choice if you’re missing a tooth in the upper or lower jaw. The dental implant allows you to eat, laugh and smile naturally.

... or several teeth
Speech and chewing abilities can be hampered when several teeth are missing. If you, or somebody you know, are in this situation, there are two solutions: separate crowns on dental implants or a bridge attached to two or more dental implants.
... or all of the teeth

If you’re missing all of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw, dental implants are the right solution. You can, for example, choose a full bridge that is attached to several dental implants. Another option is a removable prosthesis that is attached via anchoring devices to two or more dental implants. The prosthesis remains securely in place in your mouth—yet it is easy to remove.
