Clinical Experiences

1. We have placed in our office ~ 10.000 implants of different companies such as Dentsply Friadent, Nobel, Implant Innovations, Straumann, Replace, SteriOss, and others.
2. If the patients have been referred, the dentist will restore the case.
3. For our own patients we do the complete treatment. Generally we insert up to 600 implant crowns per year.
4. We perform all kinds of augmentation techniques such as block grafting, sinus floor elevation, bone splitting and others on a daily basis for the last 16 years.
5. We do emergency cases for dentists and are able to cover the complete scope of Oral Surgery
