Dental implants are the best option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants are a permanent solution that allows you to regain the aesthetics, functionality and natural feel of your teeth. Before proceeding with the placement of dental implants, a thorough examination will be carried out by your dentist to assess your oral condition. To this end, a 3D X-ray will be taken at the clinic to fully visualize the volume of your jawbone. Data collection will be completed with a digital impression of your mouth and photos of your face to plan the shape of future teeth and create a guide for implant placement. You’ll also meet with our treatment coordinator, who will explain all the steps involved and answer any questions you may have with the dentist. Titanium implants, which will act as a foundation for future teeth, are placed in your jawbone using the surgical guide. Once the implant is in place, a healing pillar is installed. When the implant is located in the smile zone, we can install temporary teeth immediately, allowing the patient to maintain aesthetics during the healing period. Following this procedure, the implant quietly fuses to your jawbone through the process of osseointegration. This healing period takes between 2 and 4 months. Before final tooth replacement, an impression of your gum line and implant position must be taken to produce the final prosthesis. It is at this stage that we confirm your choice of tooth color. The next appointment is a fitting of the denture fabricated at the clinic, and if all parameters are suitable, installation will be finalized. Instructions for maintenance and care will be given at the appointment. At last, you can regain full chewing function and a radiant smile. The success rate of implant placement depends on a number of factors, including the patient’s general health and oral condition, as well as compliance with post-operative and maintenance instructions. Generally speaking, the success rate for dental implant placement is 97 %. For smokers, the success rate is lower, but still over 90%. The implant must be inserted very precisely into the jawbone. On site, we can take a 3D, X-ray and create a surgical guide using state-of-the-art computer-assisted technology, which helps us achieve the highest degree of precision, maximizing the success rate; Dr Mercier, the dentist who performs the implant placement, constantly undergoes various training courses to keep abreast of best practices; We use platelet-rich plasma (“PRP”) and growth factors to aid the healing process; We offer nitrous oxide, a safe conscious sedation to control anxiety during treatment; Our clinic is equipped to fabricate temporary and permanent prostheses on site, reducing waiting time and allowing better control of the result. When a tooth is broken or missing, it can be replaced with a crown on the implant. When several teeth are missing, they can be replaced with a fixed bridge or implant-supported prosthesis. Full dentures can be attached to implants to replace the entire upper and/or lower dentition. Implantology
