Implant Systems
IHDE Dental
IHDE Dental is a Swiss implant manufacturer based in Gommiswald, with roots in a family firm dating back to the 1950s. Today the company operates as Dr. Ihde Dental AG. It is best known for corticobasal implantology: one-piece implants designed to anchor in the dense outer layer of the jawbone. Its range includes the single-piece KOS and BCS systems alongside two-piece options such as Hexacone.
Use at the clinic
IHDE implants are used mainly for patients with advanced bone loss and for treatments where fixed teeth are planned soon after surgery. In suitable cases, the corticobasal design allows implant placement without bone grafting. Whether it is the right choice for you is decided after an examination and a CT scan.
Strengths
Made in Switzerland
IHDE implants are manufactured in Switzerland by Dr. Ihde Dental AG, based in Gommiswald, and used by clinicians in many countries worldwide.
An option when bone is limited
Corticobasal implants take their support from the hard outer (cortical) bone of the jaw. In suitable cases, this design can be placed without a bone graft.
Built for fast treatment protocols
The KOS and BCS systems are designed for immediate loading, which means your dentist may be able to fit a fixed provisional bridge shortly after placement.
A broad system family
Single-piece and two-piece implant lines give your dentist flexibility to plan around different jaw shapes and treatment goals.
Points to consider
A technique that needs specific training
Corticobasal implantology differs from conventional implant surgery, and not every clinic works with this system. If you need follow-up care at home, you may have to find a dentist familiar with it.
Less flexibility after placement
In a one-piece implant, the post and the connection form a single unit. The prosthetic plan is set at surgery, so later component changes are less flexible than with conventional two-piece systems.
Not suitable for everyone
Whether this method fits you depends on your bone structure and general health. A final decision is only possible after an examination and imaging.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long do IHDE implants last?
- Lifespan depends on your oral hygiene, your general health and regular check-ups. With good care, these implants can serve you well for many years.
- I have bone loss. Can I still get IHDE implants?
- The corticobasal design was developed for patients with bone loss and can often be placed without grafting. A CT scan and a clinical examination are needed before this can be confirmed for you.
- When will I get my teeth?
- IHDE's one-piece systems are designed for immediate loading. If your dentist confirms that conditions are right, a fixed provisional bridge can be fitted soon after surgery, with the final restoration timed to your healing.
