Missing posterior teeth

Implants in the molar zone - restoring full bite function.

About this service

Posterior teeth (molars) handle the greatest bite forces - their loss is felt most. An implant in the molar zone fully restores function, spares healthy teeth from overload and prevents drifting of opposing teeth (over-eruption). Strategically one of the most important indications for an implant.

Step by step

How the procedure works

  1. CBCT - bone volume and sinus (upper molars).
  2. Sinus lift or bone augmentation if needed.
  3. Implant placement under local anaesthesia.
  4. Osseointegration 8-12 weeks.
  5. Impression and zirconia crown fabrication.
  6. Crown cementation on the implant.

When it is needed

Materials & technology

Zirconia crowns for posterior zones (strength). The top-tier Alpha Bio implant system for predictable longevity.

Frequently asked questions

Is a posterior implant harder than a front one?
Technically yes - upper molars often require sinus lift. Aesthetically easier (less visible).
What if I have been missing it for years?
The longer, the more bone atrophy. Augmentation is often needed. The sooner done - the easier and cheaper.
Can I eat normally afterwards?
Yes, as with your own tooth. The zirconia-titanium system handles all normal bite forces, including hard foods.
