The Principle
01 / 03
01 — Diagnostics
Understanding before we act.
Cone-beam CT scan, intraoral scans, structured assessment. The first appointment isn't treatment — it's a conversation backed by data.
02 — Planning
Digitally planned, thought through backwards.
From the final dental prosthesis back to the surgery. What should exist at the end determines the first step — not the other way round.
03 — Execution
As gentle as possible, from a single source.
One team under one roof: surgery, prosthetics, laboratory.
Our Medical Technology
From X-ray to finished tooth, with no detours
For us, digital does not mean “modern for technology's sake” – it means fewer impressions, fewer appointments and fewer surprises.
Our standard: every implant is digitally planned, generally placed with navigation, and restored prosthetically so that function, ease of cleaning, and aesthetics are right.

Specialist Field: Implantology
Implantology in Weißenfels – the dental discipline behind artificial dental prosthetics
Implantology is far more than placing a screw in the jaw. It is a distinct, demanding sub-discipline of dentistry that brings together surgical skill, prosthetic thinking, sound knowledge of bone and soft-tissue biology, and forward-looking planning within a single treatment concept. At the Zahnkompetenzzentrum Dr. med. dent. M.Sc. Sandro Strößner in Weißenfels, we understand implantology as an interdisciplinary craft, in which restoring function, chewing comfort and aesthetics are all equally central.
A dental implant replaces the natural tooth root. It is placed in the jawbone, where it serves as a stable foundation for a crown, bridge or removable denture. This makes implant treatment fundamentally different from classic dental prosthetics, which rely on neighbouring teeth or the mucosa for support. The discipline of implantology deals with every question surrounding this replacement of the root: from diagnostic assessment beforehand, through surgical insertion, to the long-term maintenance of the implant.
In Germany, any licensed dentist may, in principle, place implants. Implantology as recognised by the professional societies, however, goes well beyond basic university training. It requires structured further training, documented treatment experience and a willingness to engage continuously with new materials, procedures and scientific findings.
Our practice looks at every case from the perspective of the entire chewing system. An implant should never be viewed in isolation, but always in relation to the natural teeth, the bite, the gums and the individual patient's particular life situation. This holistic perspective is the foundation of our work in Weißenfels.
Qualifications & Continuing Education
The treating dentist's qualifications: Master of Science, continuing education and professional societies
Dr. Strößner holds the academic degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.) – a part-time, multi-year postgraduate programme that provides in-depth knowledge of oral implantology and periodontology.
Membership of professional societies
The German Society of Implantology (DGI) is the largest scientific society for implantology in the German-speaking countries. Dr. Strößner has been a member of the DGI since 2019.
Structured continuing education as an ongoing commitment
Implantology is a field in constant development. Implant surfaces, digital planning software, augmentation materials and surgical protocols keep evolving. We deliberately invest in regular further training, collegial exchange and the critical evaluation of new procedures. Not every technical innovation is automatically progress – which is why we carefully assess which methods offer genuine added value for our patients in Weißenfels.

Range of Treatments
From a single implant to fixed dental restorations in the toothless jaw
The treatment spectrum of modern implantology ranges from replacing a single lost tooth to the complete rehabilitation of an edentulous jaw. At our practice in Weißenfels, we plan every restoration individually – based on the patient's specific starting situation, wishes and medical circumstances.
Single-Tooth Replacement
If a single tooth is missing, an implant is a solution that spares the neighbouring teeth. With a conventional bridge, the adjacent, often healthy teeth would need to be ground down. An implant, by contrast, stands on its own, carries the new crown independently, and transfers chewing forces directly into the jawbone. This helps to load the bone functionally at that site and counteract its natural resorption.
Several adjacent teeth and free-end situations
If several teeth next to one another are missing, or if there is no longer an abutment tooth at the end of the row, we refer to these as intercalary or free-end gaps. In these cases, implant-supported bridges can provide a fixed restoration, without the need for a removable partial denture. We plan the number and position of the implants so that chewing forces are evenly distributed.
The toothless jaw – removable or fixed
Even a completely edentulous jaw can be treated with implants. There are two basic approaches here: an implant-supported, removable denture, stabilised by a small number of implants and offering secure hold; or fixed bridge constructions, anchored on several implants, allowing a fixed set of teeth without a palatal plate. Which route is right depends on the available bone, ease of cleaning, personal wishes and budget – we weigh this up together.
A single implant with an individually made crown as a tooth-friendly way to close a gap
Implant-Supported Bridges for Several Missing Teeth
Implant-supported, removable dentures with a secure fit (e.g. via bars or press-stud attachments)
Fixed Full-Arch Restorations on Multiple Implants
Combination solutions where few natural teeth remain
For each of these types of treatment: only precise diagnostics and a conversation about your expectations lead to the right treatment plan.
Digital & Navigated Techniques
Digital planning and guided implantology: precision from diagnosis through to placement
Digitalisation has fundamentally changed implantology. Where much used to depend on experience and judgement by eye, large parts of treatment can today be planned and simulated in three dimensions and then implemented precisely. At our practice, we use digital methods to determine the position of every implant in advance – taking into account the available bone, the course of nerves, the maxillary sinus, and the prosthetic restoration to come.
With navigated or template-guided implant placement, the implant position planned on the computer is transferred exactly into the mouth using an individually made surgical guide. This can increase the predictability of the procedure and make it gentler. Below, we outline the typical course of digitally planned implant treatment:
Initial consultation and clinical examination: We discuss your findings, your wishes and your medical history, and examine your teeth, gums and jaw.
Three-dimensional imaging: A 3D X-ray (cone-beam CT) provides a precise 3D image of the jawbone – the basis for safe planning.
Digital impression and combining the data: The intraoral scan and 3D imaging data are combined in planning software (so-called backward planning, worked out starting from the desired dental prosthesis).
Virtual implant planning: The position, axis and length of each implant are determined on screen, matched to the bone, nerves and the eventual crown.
Making the surgical guide: Based on the plan, an individual guide is produced that directs the planned position during the procedure.
Gentle implant placement: The implant is inserted under local anaesthetic – on request accompanied by our options for relaxed treatment.
Healing phase and prosthetic restoration: Once healing is complete, the definitive dental prosthesis is made and attached.
Digital planning creates transparency: many steps can be visualised and discussed in advance, so that you can understand what is planned for you. What matters to us is that technology serves the person – professional judgement and clinical responsibility always remain with the treating clinician.
Bone Augmentation
Bone grafting and augmentation: when the foundation needs to be built first
An implant needs sufficient bone to be anchored securely. However, after tooth loss, the jawbone gradually recedes over time, as it no longer receives the natural loading from chewing. Inflammation, accidents or anatomical features can likewise mean that there is not enough bone at the desired site. In such cases, augmentation procedures are used – methods for building up or widening the bone.
Common Augmentation Procedures
Which procedure is suitable depends on how much bone is missing and where. For smaller defects, an accompanying graft carried out directly as part of the implant placement is often sufficient. For larger defects, a separate, preliminary procedure may make sense. We make this choice after careful 3D diagnostics.
Sinus lift (sinus floor elevation): raising the floor of the maxillary sinus in the side of the upper jaw, to create height for implants
Lateral augmentation: widening a jawbone ridge that is too narrow
Socket preservation: filling the empty tooth socket immediately after an extraction, to preserve the bone
Guided bone regeneration (GBR): controlled bone regeneration using membranes and bone substitute material
The patient's own bone, high-purity bone substitute materials, or combinations of the two may be considered as graft materials. Each material has its own properties, advantages and disadvantages, which we explain to you in an understandable way. Bone grafting requires an appropriate healing period, during which the new tissue stabilises before the implant is permanently loaded.
Important to know: not every case needs a bone graft. Skilful planning of the implant position can often avoid the need for augmentation or reduce it. Only a precise analysis of your jaw shows what is really necessary.
Immediate Implant Placement & Treatment Timelines
Immediate implant placement and treatment timelines: when it's quick, and when it takes patience
One of the most common questions from our patients in Weißenfels is: how long does all this take? The answer depends on the timing concept chosen. Implantology generally distinguishes between immediate, early and late implant placement – depending on how much time passes between tooth extraction and placing the implant.
Immediate Implant Placement
With immediate implant placement, the implant is inserted into the same tooth socket immediately after a tooth that cannot be saved is removed. This saves a separate procedure and can shorten the overall treatment time. However, it requires favourable conditions: an environment free of inflammation, sufficient bone, and good primary stability. Not every case is suited to this approach – we make the decision individually, based on the findings.
Immediate Treatment and Delayed Loading
Immediate restoration should be distinguished from immediate implant placement: here, the implant receives a provisional crown shortly afterwards, so the gap does not remain visible. Whether immediate restoration is possible depends largely on the stability of the implant in the bone. In many cases, a conventional, delayed loading approach, in which the implant is first allowed to heal undisturbed, is the more predictable path.
Healing – the firm bond between implant and bone, known technically as osseointegration – generally takes several months. This time is well invested, as it creates the foundation for the later load-bearing capacity. We give you honest advice on which timeframe makes sense in your situation.
Risks, Aftercare & Costs
Risks, aftercare and costs: honest information
Genuine advice on implants also means talking about possible risks and about the long-term responsibility that comes with an implant. An implant is not a one-off event, but the beginning of an ongoing relationship of care and check-ups.
Possible Risks and Requirements
Like any surgical procedure, implant placement carries risks. These include swelling, temporary discomfort and, in rare cases, infection, impaired wound healing or failure to integrate. Peri-implantitis plays a particular role – an inflammation of the tissue around the implant that, if left untreated, can lead to implant loss. Underlying medical conditions, smoking and inadequate oral hygiene can affect healing and long-term stability. We explain all of these aspects to you in detail before every procedure.
Aftercare – the key to longevity
Even carefully performed implant work only lasts if it is consistently cared for. Thorough oral hygiene at home and regular professional check-ups are crucial for detecting inflammation at an early stage. In our practice we rely on a structured aftercare concept that is matched to your restoration.
Regular check-up appointments to assess the implant and surrounding tissue
Professional cleaning of implants and natural teeth
Guidance on the right home care for your implant
Early detection and treatment of inflammatory changes
Costs and the Role of Health Insurers
The cost of implant treatment cannot be stated as a flat rate – it depends on the number of implants, the work involved in any bone augmentation, the material chosen, and the prosthetic restoration. Statutory health insurers generally do not cover the cost of the implant itself; however, they do grant a fixed subsidy based on the diagnosis for the dental prosthetics that sit on the implant. This subsidy can increase if a dental bonus booklet (Bonusheft) has been kept up to date. Private health insurers and supplementary insurers reimburse implant treatment differently depending on the tariff. Before treatment begins, we prepare a transparent, written treatment and cost plan for you, which you can submit to your health insurer – so you know in advance what costs to expect.
Feel free to ask us about instalment payment options and any funding or bonus schemes. Our goal is treatment that is convincing from a clinical standpoint and remains financially manageable for you.
Implantology in Weißenfels
Cared for close to home
For implant treatment, patients from Weißenfels and the Burgenlandkreis do not need to travel long distances to larger cities. At the Zahnkompetenzzentrum Dr. med. dent. M.Sc. Sandro Strößner, we bring diagnostics, planning, surgical treatment and prosthetic restoration together under one roof. This shortens journeys, makes coordination easier, and creates continuous care from the initial consultation through to aftercare.
The short journey from the surrounding area is a practical advantage, especially for surgical procedures: check-up appointments and aftercare are easy to attend. Where it makes sense, we work on an interdisciplinary basis with specialised colleagues and our in-house master laboratory, in order to treat even demanding cases to a high standard.
Your Path to a Consultation
Every course of implant treatment begins with a detailed, no-obligation consultation. Here, we take the time to understand your situation, answer your questions, and weigh up the possible options together. You then decide, calmly and without pressure, whether and how you would like to proceed.
Book your appointment by phone on 03443 339 65 54. Our team will advise you in a friendly manner and take the time for your concerns – so that you can make a well-founded, well-informed decision about your dental prosthetics.

— Before your first appointment
Any licensed dentist may, in principle, place implants, but implantology requires additional, structured further training and experience. Dr. Strößner holds the academic degree Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Oral Implantology and Periodontology and follows the guidelines of scientific professional societies. This in-depth qualification covers diagnostics, surgery, prosthetics and aftercare in equal measure.
The spectrum ranges from replacing a single tooth, through implant-supported bridges for multiple gaps, to restoring a fully edentulous jaw. The latter can be treated with an implant-supported removable denture or with fixed bridges on several implants. Which solution is right depends on the findings, the available bone and your wishes.
Here, the implant position planned on the computer is transferred precisely into the mouth using an individually made surgical guide. This is based on three-dimensional imaging of the jaw, combined with a digital scan. This approach can increase the predictability of the procedure and make it gentler.
Bone augmentation becomes necessary when there is not enough bone at the planned site for stable anchorage of the implant – for example, after long-standing tooth loss or due to anatomical features. Procedures such as a sinus lift or guided bone regeneration then create the necessary foundation. However, not every case requires augmentation; it can often be avoided through skilful planning.
With immediate implant placement, the implant is inserted into the same tooth socket immediately after a tooth that cannot be saved is removed. This can spare an additional procedure and shorten the treatment time. It requires favourable conditions, such as an environment free of inflammation and sufficient bone – whether this approach is suitable is decided according to the individual findings.
The firm bond between implant and bone, known technically as osseointegration, generally takes several months. The exact duration depends on the region of the jaw, bone quality, and any bone grafting that may have been carried out. This healing period is the foundation for the later load-bearing capacity of the dental prosthesis.
The procedure itself is carried out under local anaesthetic, so it is generally experienced as well tolerated. Temporary swelling or mild discomfort may occur afterwards, which can usually be managed well. For anxious patients, we discuss options for treatment under relaxation.
As with any surgical procedure, swelling, infection or impaired wound healing are among the possible complications. Peri-implantitis, an inflammation of the tissue around the implant, plays a particular role. Factors such as smoking, certain general health conditions and inadequate oral hygiene can affect healing – we explain all of this in detail before every procedure.
Implants need the same careful care as natural teeth, plus special cleaning of the transition area to the gum. What matters is consistent oral hygiene at home and regular professional check-up and cleaning appointments. This allows inflammation to be detected early, and the restoration to be preserved in the long term.
Statutory health insurers generally do not cover the implant itself, but do grant a fixed subsidy based on the findings towards the dental restoration placed on it; a maintained dental bonus booklet (Bonusheft) can increase this amount. Private insurers reimburse different amounts depending on the tariff. Before treatment begins, we provide you with a transparent treatment and cost plan to submit to your insurer.
