Dental Implants

The dental implant consists of a small biocompatible titanium screw a few millimeters long. Attached to the jawbone, the latter is designed to replace a natural root, and consequently, prevent the loss of bone volume where a tooth is missing. It also prevents the movement of adjacent teeth to the space left free.

Thanks to the phenomenon of osseointegration, the implant fuses to the bone and becomes as strong as a natural root. It is thus used as an anchor to hold an artificial tooth in place. It can be a prosthetic crown, a bridge, or a fixed or removable partial or complete prosthesis.

Dental implants : The Steps

2. X-ray, bone scan, photo taking
3. 3D Modeling
4. Insertion of the implant(s) into the jawbone, under local anesthesia

Meet 3 conditions for dental implants

The age of is not a criterion for receiving a dental implant. However, the patient must meet 3 conditions:

• Enjoying excellent overall health
• Have an adequate and fairly massive bone structure
• Have healthy and adequate gums

When a case has contraindications, our professionals suggest other solutions such as bone grafting or a removable dental prosthesis without implants (dentures or bridges).
