Dental implant
Implantology is a discipline that allows a tooth to be replaced with an artificial root (implant) made of titanium on which a dental crown is placed, which allows chewing function to be restored and one's smile to be restored.
1. Why get a dental implant?
Dental implants remain the best option for replacing a missing tooth, unlike dental bridges, which require mutilation of adjacent teeth. Additionally, replacing a tooth with an implant also prevents bone loss and tooth shifting.
2. What additional tests are necessary before implant placement?
Before any implant surgery, a preliminary clinical and radiological examination is necessary to assess the quantity of bone, the proximity of anatomical structures at risk and the need or not for possible pre-implant surgery.
3. How is a dental implant placed?
. Initial consultation:
on évalue le cas du patient grâce à l'examen clinique et au bilan radiologique pour poser un plan de traitement.
. Implant placement:
Sous anesthésie locale, l'implant est placé dans l'os. Cependant, il faut attendre 3 mois pour être sur que l'implant soit bien intégré et stable.
Fitting the dental crown:
After these 3 months, an impression is taken to make the final crown.
