Restore your smile
with high-quality dental implants

A dental implant is a titanium screw placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a lost tooth. A crown is placed on this implant that functions as the visible tooth. The crown is screwed onto the implant through a connection called an abutment, which is individualized on the implant itself.

We use titanium because of its strength, durability and biocompatibility, which allows the implant to integrate with the jawbone.

What are the benefits?

• Aesthetics: Implants offer a natural-looking replacement for lost teeth and can help restore self-confidence.
• Functionality: They restore chewing function and speech, contributing to a better quality of life.
• Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
• Jawbone preservation: Implants help preserve jawbone and prevent further bone breakdown that often occurs after tooth loss.

Implant placement procedure

• Initial consultation: Assessment of oral health and suitability for implants. A few clinical photographs, a bone scan and a digital impression should be taken to properly plan the correct implant position.
• Implant placement: The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone.
• Integration phase: The bone around the implant heals and integrates with the titanium, a process that may take several months.
• Crown placement: After healing, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant.

Aftercare and maintenance

Regular brushing and flossing are essential for implant health. Regular dental visits for checkups and implant maintenance are necessary.

Challenges and considerations

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, such as infection or implant failure.

Conclusion

Dental implants are an effective and long-term solution for replacing one or more lost teeth. They offer significant benefits in terms of functionality, aesthetics and jawbone health.

When several teeth are missing, we place a bridge if implants are not possible.

Implications of tooth loss

• Displacement of teeth: The remaining teeth or molars may grow toward the open space and become crooked. This can lead to an imbalance in your teeth, which can cause further tooth loss.
• Chewing problems: Tooth loss can make chewing difficult, which can affect digestion and enjoyment of food.

Treatment: the dental bridge

• Definition: To make your teeth “complete” again, a bridge is often used. This is a durable solution to restore the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth.
• Construction of the bridge: The teeth next to the missing tooth(s) are ground down and fitted with a crown. Between these crowns hang a floating crown that replaces the missing tooth.
• Composition: this dental bridge consists of several crowns attached together, which collectively function as one unit.

Benefits of a dental bridge

• Aesthetic enhancement: A dental bridge restores the appearance of your smile and preserves your facial contours.
• Functional restoration: It helps distribute forces evenly in your bite and protects the integrity of existing teeth and jawbone.
• Durability: Durability:

Conclusion

Dental bridges are durable and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.

An overdenture is a removable denture that clicks onto two or four dental implants. These implants serve as a permanent base for the dentures.

The denture is usually made of durable acrylic, while the implants are titanium because of their biocompatibility and strength. The connection or retention element to which the denture attaches is also made of titanium, in the form of locators or a rod.
