Pronunciation

im-PYAN-ti — 'imp' + 'ian' (like 'yan') + 'ti'. 'Impianti' is the plural.

When to use it

Ask this when considering replacing a missing tooth with an implant. A significant investment requiring detailed consultation.

What it means

'Voglio informazioni su' (I want information about) is a useful phrase for requesting information on any topic. 'Impianti dentali' are dental implants — titanium screws inserted into the jawbone. The procedure takes several months including healing time. In Italian, 'impianto' also means plant or installation (same word, different context).

Variations

Not everyone is suitable — bone density and health matter

Quanto dura il processo dall'inizio alla fine?

How long does the process take from start to finish?

Qual è la differenza tra impianto e protesi mobile?

What is the difference between an implant and a removable denture?

Implants are permanent; dentures are removable — very different quality of life

Cultural Note

Italy is one of the leading countries in dental implant surgery in Europe. Italian implant brands like 'Sweden & Martina' and 'Leone' are internationally recognised. The SSN does not cover dental implants for most patients, except in specific cases (trauma, cancer). Many Italians finance implants through bank loans or dental credit cards ('carta salute'). Success rates exceed 95% over 10 years.
