Dental implant placement is the solution proposed in dental surgery to artificially replace the root of the tooth for prosthesis. Dental implantology is recommended only when the root has been extracted or severely infected. The implant is then buried under the gum and will be used to accommodate a crown, a bridge-bridge or a denture.
Implant treatments have considerably reduced the use of removable prostheses thanks to various state-of-the-art systems. Their short duration of placement, longevity of use and comfort close to the original teeth are all advantages placing the implants at the top of the treatments chosen in the event of absence of teeth.
An implant consists of an artificial tooth root placed in the jaw or maxillary bone to replace the missing tooth or teeth. The implants stop the process of bone resorption which continues physiologically following the loss of teeth.
We can perform the implants the same day after the extraction (immediate implant), or after bone healing (osseointegration) following the extraction (2-3 month waiting period).
The implants consist of 2 parts. This is the screw part, made of titanium or Zirconium, which we insert into the bone, and the upper structure, namely the tooth part (crown).
Either we perform the preparation of the dental part (crown) after the fusion of the bone and the implant;
Either we perform its placement immediately following the extraction (immediate implant) especially in cases where the teeth concerned are incisors, therefore the oral aesthetic region.
