Dental implants are the ideal solution to replace multiple missing teeth in one go or target individual tooth loss. If one or more teeth are lost due to a dental problem or an unexpected accident, you may feel uncomfortable. In these situations, dental implants are the perfect solution to help you regain your confident smile.
Implantology is a surgical field of dentistry dedicated to the placement of dental implants.
A dental implant designates the lower part of an artificial tooth replacing the root of a damaged or missing tooth. Composed of a 10 to 15-mm screw in biocompatible material (Titanium / Zirconium dioxide), the implant is screwed into the jaw bone and works as a shock absorber between the bone and the tooth, and serves as an anchor to a dental crown or a dental prosthesis. Dental implantology helps to find a comfortable chewing back, as well as a better diction. It can replace one or several missing or damaged teeth, and even a complete dentition, and is adapted to nearly all cases. The laying of an artificial root maintains the bone without affecting the neighbouring teeth or the jaw and fixes a dental prosthesis that will replace a tooth identically, by its function and its aesthetical aspect. The operation is done several weeks before the prosthesis implantation, to let the organism colonise the implant, as a bone grafting.
