Dental Implants

The Dental Implant Procedure

The dentist makes an incision in the jaw bone below the gum line and then inserts the implant into the bone. During the healing process, the bone reforms and attaches to the implant.

In three to six months, once you've healed from having the implant placed, you will return to the clinic to complete the procedure. Your dentist will then attach a tooth replacement to the implant that will be custom-made to fit perfectly into your smile.

Restoration on Implants

Depending on your treatment plan, our dentists may recommend one of the following restorations:

• Crown on Implant

  What looks the most like a real tooth is an implant crown. This is why it is often the solution recommended by dentists when a tooth is lost.

  In addition to having the same appearance and the same hygiene needs as a natural tooth, the implant crown is a lasting solution.

  Another important advantage of the implant crown is that it allows the stimulation of the jaw bone and its regeneration. This has the effect of preventing bone loss which tends to deform the face and accelerate the appearance of old age.

• Prostheses Stabilized with Implants

  This type of prosthesis is fixed with two to four implants, but it can be removed. The prosthesis is always supported by the gums, but the implants provide more stability.

  
  

  Advantages:

  • Economical solution
  • More comfortable than a denture
  • Few dietary restrictions
  • Reduced bone loss and muscle atrophy
• Prostheses Fixed on Implants

  Instead of being supported by the gums, this type of prosthesis is fixed on four to eight implants. Sometimes, a metal bar in integrated into the prosthesis. 

  
  

  Advantages:

  • Never moves
  • Very comfortable
  • No food restrictions
  • No bone loss and muscle atrophy
