Dental Implants at 3D Tandarts
Digital precision for a durable result
A missing tooth can affect your smile, chewing function, and the preservation of the jawbone. With an implant, a tooth can be replaced in a stable and natural way, without damaging the surrounding teeth.
At 3D Tandarts, we combine modern digital technology with a biologically conscious approach. Thanks to CBCT scans, intraoral scanners, and digital implant planning, treatments can be prepared and performed with extreme precision.
We treat patients from Schiedam, Rotterdam, and the surrounding areas who are looking for a modern and predictable implant treatment.
Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a crown, bridge, or overdenture can be attached to it.
An implant feels and functions similarly to a natural tooth and also helps to preserve the jawbone after tooth loss.
Why to choose an implant?
An implant offers several advantages compared to traditional solutions.
Pro's of implants
- Replacement of missing teeth
- Natural appearance
- No grinding of healthy teeth
- Supports preservation of the jawbone
- Comfortable during speaking and eating
- Designed for long‑term stability
For many patients, an implant is the most durable solution to replace a lost tooth. When a tooth is missing, there are usually two options:
Dental implant or bridge?
With a bridge, the adjacent teeth are ground down to support the restoration.
Disadvantages:
• healthy teeth are damaged
• more difficult to clean
• higher risk of long-term problems
A dental implant replaces only the missing tooth.
Advantages:
✔ no damage to adjacent teeth
✔ bone preservation
✔ easier to clean
✔ longer lifespan
That is why a dental implant is often the biologically best choice.

Digital implantology at 3D Tandarts
At 3D Tandarts, we work with a fully digital workflow. This makes the treatment more accurate, more predictable, and often less burdensome.
Using a CBCT scan, we precisely analyze in advance:
- The amount of available jawbone
- The position of nerves and anatomical structures
- The ideal position of the future crown
- The bite and function of the dentition
After that, the implant is digitally planned before the treatment takes place.

The biggest mistake in implantology (and how we solve it)
In many practices, a dental implant is placed based on:
where sufficient bone is available
But that does not mean this is also the best position for the crown.
Consequences:
• misaligned crown
• improper load distribution
• aesthetic issues
• difficult maintenance
Our approach: prosthetically guided treatment
Modern implantology is not only about placing an implant in the available bone. The position of the final crown is at least as important.
Therefore, we work according to the principle of prosthetically driven implantology. This means that we first determine the ideal position of the future tooth, after which the implant is digitally aligned accordingly.
This helps to:
- achieve a natural aesthetic result
- properly distribute forces during chewing
- make the implant easier to clean
- reduce the risk of long‑term complications
Digital implantology explained (and why it is important)
Traditional implantology is partly dependent on experience and clinical judgment. Digital implantology, on the other hand, is based on data and planning.
At 3D Tandarts, an implant is not placed "by eye." We plan the treatment digitally in advance, so that the position of the implant can be matched as precisely as possible to the jawbone, nerves, bite, and the future crown.
We use:
CBCT (3D scan)
With a CBCT scan, we take a three‑dimensional image of the jaw. This allows us not only to see how much bone is available, but also where important anatomical structures are located, such as nerves, the maxillary sinus, and adjacent roots.
This helps us to determine in advance where an implant can be placed safely and stably.
Digital software: precise virtual planning
The information from the CBCT scan is used in specialized implant planning software. In this software, we digitally plan the exact position, angle, and depth of the implant.
In doing so, we look not only at the bone but also at the position of the future crown. This way, the implant is placed with the final result in mind: a crown that looks natural, functions well, and is easy to clean.
Surgical guide: translating the digital plan to the mouth
When necessary, we use a surgical guide. This is a custom-made template that is placed over the teeth or jaw during treatment.
The guide helps place the implant according to the digital plan, with the correct direction, depth, and position. This makes the treatment more controlled and predictable.
What does digital implantology mean for you as a patient?
This digital approach offers several advantages:
- greater safety during the procedure
- better protection of nerves and surrounding structures
- lower risk of unexpected complications
- a more accurate and predictable result
- often a less invasive procedure
- better foundation for a natural-looking crown
- more comfort and clarity in advance
By planning digitally in advance, we know better what to expect during the procedure. This gives more control for the clinician and more peace of mind for the patient.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
Veel patiënten verwachten dat een implantaatbehandeling pijnlijk is, maar ervaren de ingreep uiteindelijk vaak minder belastend dan gedacht.
Dankzij moderne verdovingstechnieken en digitale planning kan de behandeling doorgaans gecontroleerd en minimaal invasief worden uitgevoerd.
Na de behandeling kunnen tijdelijke napijn of zwelling optreden, vergelijkbaar met andere tandheelkundige ingrepen.

How long does a dental implant last?
Bij goede mondhygiëne en regelmatige controles kan een implantaat vele jaren meegaan.
Factoren die invloed hebben op de levensduur zijn onder andere:
- mouth hygiene
- smoking
- overall health
- belasting van het implantaat
- regelmatige professionele controles

Wat kost een implantaat?
De kosten starten doorgaans vanaf €2100 voor implantaat + kroon, maar hangen af van verschillende factoren, zoals:
- het type kroon of restauratie
- de hoeveelheid bot
- eventuele aanvullende behandelingen
- the number of implants
Tijdens een consult ontvangt u altijd een persoonlijk behandelplan met een duidelijke begroting.
U kunt uw eerst consult hier eenvoudig inplannen of meer over de kosten lezen.
Who are dental implants suitable for?
Not every patient is automatically eligible.
We always assess:
• bone volume and density
• gum condition
• general health
• oral hygiene
• smoking (risk factor)
When is additional treatment needed?
In some cases:
• bone augmentation
• sinus lift
• gum correction
This is always discussed in advance.
