Dental implant

Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing teeth.

A dental implant may be an option if you have lost one or more teeth and want a stable solution that both looks natural and works well in your daily life.

At Bergen Dental Clinic, you’ll receive a thorough evaluation and a detailed treatment plan before you make your decision.

In brief

A dental implant consists of a screw, usually made of titanium, that is anchored in the jawbone.

After surgery, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a crown or bridge is placed on it.

Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or large sections of the dentition.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant acts as an artificial tooth root.

The implant is placed in the jawbone, and once it has fused with the bone, it can be used as an anchor for a crown, bridge, or other prosthetic solution.

The goal is to provide a solution that feels stable, looks natural, and allows for good chewing function.

Who is eligible for an implant?

To get an implant, you must be in good overall health and have sufficient bone mass in your jaw.

If there is insufficient bone mass, bone augmentation may be necessary before the implant is placed.

Good oral hygiene and healthy gums are also important. Smoking, untreated diabetes, a weakened immune system, or certain medical conditions can affect whether an implant is the right solution.

Treatment Process – Step by Step

Treatment begins with a preliminary examination.

The dentist or specialist will examine your mouth, take the necessary X-rays, and assess your bone density and anatomical conditions.

A treatment plan is then developed. In some cases, digital scanning, 3D X-rays, or a surgical guide may be needed to ensure more precise placement.

The implant surgery itself is usually performed under local anesthesia. If necessary, sedation may be considered.

After the implant is placed, it needs time to fuse with the bone. This usually takes about 3 months in the lower jaw and 6 months in the upper jaw, but can vary from case to case.

Once the implant has integrated, a crown or bridge is placed on it. Finally, the aesthetics and function are adjusted.

Follow-up and Maintenance

An implant requires regular checkups and proper cleaning.

Good oral hygiene—including the gums and the area around the implant—is important for ensuring that the implant remains stable over time.

Adjustments to the crown, bridge, or other prosthetic solution may also be necessary at regular intervals.

Technology and Materials

Bergen Dental Clinic uses high-quality implant systems from reputable suppliers.

When necessary, modern methods such as CBCT scanning, digital planning, and surgical guides are used to ensure high precision.

The treatment is performed in accordance with current safety and hygiene standards.

Nobel N1 Implant System

Bergen Dental Clinic uses Nobel N1 implants in its treatments.

Nobel is a well-known implant system used in many countries. The system is designed to provide good stability, precise treatment, and a solid foundation for long-lasting results.

The dentist will guide you through the process and determine which solution is best for you.

Price of an implant

The cost of an implant depends on the extent of the treatment, the number of teeth to be replaced, and whether additional procedures such as X-rays, surgical guides, bone grafting, or a sinus lift are needed.

You'll always receive a thorough evaluation and a clear treatment plan with pricing before you make a decision.

Updated prices can be found on our price page.

For some patients, Helfo reimbursement may be an option. This is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
