Implantology (dental implant placement)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am missing the lower left first molar.
I am considering an implant. Online, in addition to the conventional method, I found offers for implants without surgery. What do you think of this method, or what solution would you recommend? I would also like to know the price.
Kind regards

Dear Sir/Madam!
Every dental implant has to be inserted (screwed into the bone). There are different approaches, and everyone interprets the term surgery in their own way.
Every implantation requires local anaesthesia, sterile preparation of the operating field, an operator, assistants, surgical instruments... Broadly speaking, the approaches can be divided into two groups:
-opening a mucoperiosteal flap, which means that the gum is reflected slightly and the bone ridge and surrounding area are monitored during the procedure
-placement without opening a mucoperiosteal flap, i.e. directly through the gum, which in some cases includes computer-guided navigation of the implantation.
The decision about the procedure is ultimately up to the operator, who will always choose the most appropriate method based on a very large number of factors. Unfortunately, the term placement without surgery is used too misleadingly, especially for commercial purposes.
Have a nice day!
