What Is A Dental Implant?
The dental implant is used to replace one or more missing teeth, while keeping healthy teeth nearby. This is an artificial root that will allow the dental crown or prosthesis to attach. The placement of the implant is therefore not an end in itself, since it must be completed by a prosthesis which will cover it. It is this prosthesis that will take on the appearance of a real tooth. In fact, this is illustrated by the implant which is in the form of a screw generally made of titanium or zirconia. The quality of this device normally allows the patient to never have to change implant once it has been placed.
In Which Cases Can You Consider The Placement Of A Dental Implant?
The dental implant is intended for people who have lost one or more teeth after a dislocation or an extraction, following a cavity for example. The surgical operation that allows the placement of implants can be performed on individuals who have finished their jaw bone growth, which occurs between 17 and 18 years. There is no particular age limit to perform the operation, the whole being to be in a good general state of health.
How Is The Surgery For The Placement Of A Dental Implant?

The practitioner performs a clinical examination and often complemented by radioof dentition. To provide you with quality services, our centers are equipped with cutting-edge imaging equipment.
Placing a dental implant is a simple medical procedure, performed under local anesthesia by an implantologist. It takes place in two stages. During the first operation, the dental surgeon incises the gum where the implant will be placed in order to have access to the alveolar bone.
The implant is then screwed in at the root of the tooth. In most cases, the pain following the operation is very mild or non-existent. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed if needed. After a few months of waiting essential for healing, a second operation consists of placing the artificial tooth, a crown, a bridge or a prosthesis.
