Modern implant clinic
for a confident smile
Welcome to the Dr. Kraus Implant Clinic in Mainz
Implants are artificial tooth roots and the best way to replace missing teeth. They can replace single teeth, multiple teeth, or a full mouth of teeth. The prosthetics are made in our in-house laboratory. Our dental implants mimic natural teeth to such an extent that the differences are barely noticeable.
Sufficient jawbone is a requirement for placing implants. Jawbone loss can be restored with autologous or foreign bone grafting materials as part of a surgical bone augmentation.
The immediate care concepts of our dental clinic avoid long healing times for dental implants. The All-on-4 ™ procedure allows for a full arch of teeth to be supported by just four strategically placed implants. It often enables patients to leave the clinic with a brand-new smile on the same day as the implant surgery.
Even for seemingly hopeless and supposedly therapy-resistant cases with severe bone loss, there are options for implant-supported dentures. So-called Zygoma implants are placed in the cheekbone and provide stability for the dentures despite the barely existing jawbone.
In our clinic area, you can expect maximum safety and comfort. General anesthesia is performed in a secure clinical environment under the supervision of experienced anesthetists. Our in-house team of implant specialists also efficiently and quickly carries out complete restorations for patients with limited time.

Bone augmentation for Dental Implants
The most important condition for placing a dental implant safely and with long-term success is sufficient bone volume in the upper and lower jaw.
The implant must be surrounded by bone at least 2 mm thick. If there’s insufficient jawbone, a surgical reconstruction of the jawbone might be necessary before implantation.
Therefore, bone augmentation, also known as bone grafting, is a crucial procedure for patients with significant jawbone loss, that aims to increase the volume of the jawbone, ensuring a stable foundation for dental implants.
The process involves taking bone graft material, either from the patient's body, a donor, or synthetic sources, and grafting it onto the existing jawbone. Over time, the grafted material will fuse with the natural bone, creating a larger, more stable base for the implant. The gold standard in grafting materials is the patient's bone. However, the type of material ultimately used depends on the extent and nature of the augmentation. These bone substitute materials serve to stimulate the body to produce new bone tissue.
Modern Zygoma implants can be used even in severe cases of jaw atrophy. These special implants are placed in bone areas outside the jawbone, which are very stable and make dentures without bone augmentation possible. They usually allow immediate loading with dentures and the treatment time is short.
There are different methods for bone
augmentation in Dr. Kraus‘ dental clinic:
Internal and
External Sinus Lift
A sinus lift compensates for a low jaw height in the rear upper jaw area, with an external sinus lift building more volume than an internal one.
Bone Apposition and Bone Widening
Bone chips or bone substitute materials are placed directly on the bone to close smaller defects. If the bone is tall enough but too narrow, it can be widened through "Bone Spreading" or "Bone Splitting."
Socket Preservation
Right after the loss of a single tooth, the empty tooth socket is filled with bone substitute material to maintain the contour of the jawbone.
Bone Block Transplantation
Bone blocks can close even larger defects. For this, bone is obtained, for example, from the patient's oral cavity or pelvic crest.
