Dental Implants
The solution to restore your full smile
When a tooth needs to be replaced, it is usually appropriate to use a dental implant. At Le Dentalis, we have the expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to restore your full, functional smile. We understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your quality of life. That's why we take the time to evaluate the best options for each patient in order to offer attentive and personalized service.
What is a dental implant?
Dental implants are small screws, made of titanium in most cases. During surgery, performed directly at the clinic, the implant is inserted into the jawbone. Thanks to the biocompatibility of the material from which the implant is made, meaning that it is well tolerated by the body, a natural process occurs during the healing of the implant. This is called osseointegration, during which new bone cells form around the metal screw. This allows it to integrate securely and permanently into the jawbone.
There are different types and shapes of implants. Each type of implant has its own specific indications based on the patient's anatomical assessment and needs. Our dentists take the time to carefully determine each key factor in the treatment plan to maximize its success.
Why choose dental implants?
Natural restoration: Implants closely mimic natural teeth in terms of strength, feel in the mouth, and overall appearance of the dentition.
Prevention of bone resorption: osseointegration strengthens the bone around the implant, keeping it stable. The presence of the implant will constantly stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that follows tooth loss. The latter is inevitable when missing teeth are not replaced.
Durability: With proper care, implants can last for decades, even a lifetime. If necessary, the restoration or prosthesis that covers them can be repaired or replaced without compromising the quality of the implants that are already in place.
Improved jaw function: Implants effectively restore chewing ability. They can also correct speech problems associated with a partially or completely edentulous mouth.
Increased comfort: Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant-supported dentures will not slip or move, providing increased confidence and comfort.
Protection of remaining natural teeth: Implants do not require modification or preparation of adjacent natural teeth, thus preserving the health and integrity of the dentition.
By choosing dental implants, you are opting for a comprehensive solution that not only improves the appearance of your smile, but also your daily quality of life.
A precise and careful process
The implantology process is a detailed and meticulous journey, aimed at restoring not only the appearance of your smile, but also all of its functions.
Implantology consultation
This step involves a complete assessment of your condition and needs, as well as a discussion with the practitioner. X-rays and scans of the jaws are required.
Surgical planning
All the details are carefully planned by the dental surgeon, including the number of implants required, their type, location, and positioning within the jaw, etc.
Implant placement
The implants are inserted into the bone during surgery performed at the clinic.
Healing
This stage follows the surgery and takes a few months, but it is essential to allow for osseointegration.
Installation of the dental restoration on implants
Once the implants have integrated into the jaw, the final dental restoration, designed and manufactured specifically according to the patient's needs, is installed on the implants.
Each step of this process is carried out with the utmost care and attention, leading to a comfortable and successful oral implantology experience at Le Dentalis dental clinic. Our goal is to provide you with teeth that are as beautiful as they are functional.
