What is implantology?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium. This safe, permanent replacement for a tooth root is placed in the jaw. Crowns, bridges or dentures can then be placed on top of the implant.
Implantology is an effective solution for:
- replacing a tooth with a crown
- replacing multiple teeth with a fixed bridge
- replacing all teeth with a full bridge or snap-on dentures
Is it always possible to place an implant?
Implants can only be placed once the jawbone has fully matured. This is usually around the age of 18. You must also meet the following requirements:
- There is sufficient jawbone.
- The gums and jawbone are healthy
These points are checked by means of an oral examination and an overview photo. If there is insufficient jawbone, the implantologist may choose to replace the missing bone with artificial bone.
How is an implant placed?
To help you prepare for the procedure, we will talk you through the process step by step. During the procedure, the implantologist will explain what they are doing. If anything is unclear, please feel free to contact our dental practice in Amsterdam. Our staff will be happy to help.
Step 1: The consultation
Before an implant can be placed, a dental check-up must be carried out. This involves an oral examination and an overview photograph. This photo shows the upper and lower jaw, enabling the position of the tooth roots to be assessed and ensuring there is sufficient jawbone.
Your oral health will also be assessed, and any potential issues will be discussed. The dentist will then draw up a personalised treatment plan, including a cost estimate, to ensure there are no unexpected surprises.
Step 2: Placing the implant
Under local anaesthetic or light sedation, the implantologist will place the implant in your jawbone. This involves making a small incision in the gum and drilling a hole in the jawbone. The artificial root made of titanium is then screwed into place. The dentist will then suture the gum with dissolvable stitches.
Step 3: The recovery period
To ensure the implant grows firmly into the jawbone, a recovery period of approximately six to twelve weeks is allowed. This period is also known as the healing phase. During this time, a temporary crown, bridge or denture is placed on the implant. This allows you to slowly but surely get used to the filled ‘gap’ in your mouth.
Step 4: Placing the crown, bridge or snap-on denture.
Once the permanent prosthesis has been fitted, we will arrange a follow-up appointment. Depending on the type of prosthesis, this will be after three, six or eleven months. During the check-up, we will take a new overview photo and examine your mouth thoroughly.
Step 5: Aftercare
Once the permanent prosthesis has been placed, we will schedule a follow-up appointment. Depending on the type of prosthesis, this appointment will take place after three, six or eleven months. During the check-up, a new overview photo will be taken and your mouth will be examined thoroughly.

Reimbursement by the health insurer
Implants, crowns and bridges are not covered by basic health insurance, even for those under 18 years of age. However, basic health insurance does cover snap-on dentures. To be eligible for full reimbursement of an implant, crown or bridge, you must have supplementary dental insurance. Ask your health insurer whether your implantology treatment is covered.
