Implant dentistry has grown significantly over the past few years, which helped people avoid the use of bridge and removable devices and offering a truly sustainable solution. This technique is recommended for those who have recently lost a tooth due to tooth decay, gum disease, periodontal disease or injury. The results are also excellent and most patients who live today with an implant are satisfied.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root set up when the natural root cannot be saved. It is inserted permanently or temporarily into the jaw to hold an artificial tooth in place. It is usually made of titanium, a biocompatible material with the jawbone. Implants help stabilize the jaw, preventing further bone loss, and maintaining the shape of the jawbone. Dental implants are a practical alternative to dentures since they do not pull out and are quite comfortable and natural. When you have an implant, you feel almost no difference from your own tooth. I Implants are preferable to traditional bridges and crowns as they are not simply cemented to the jaw. They also avoid the problems of alignment or pain that other dental reconstruction techniques can cause. The bridges and crowns placed on an implant will not move or slip. All kinds of problems to talk or chew will not occur. To get a tooth implant, the patient must have strong healthy gums and a jaw that can support and maintain the implant. There are several factors that should be considered in the planning process, such as the general health of the patient as well as their mucous membranes and jaws condition. The aspect, size and position of the jaws and adjacent and opposite teeth should also be taken into consideration. The overall procedure of a dental implant treatment usually takes 4 to 6 months. It is important to let the surgical sites heal between each treatment phase to ensure an optimal result.

How is dental implant Surgery performed ?
Dental implants are usually categorized according to the type of procedure used to place them, either in two steps or in one step. The two-step dental implant is usually under local anesthesia or sedation at the dental clinic. Endosseous implants are generally used for two-stage tooth implant. First the dentist carries out a small incision in order to set the implant into the jawbone. The implants need at least 3 to 6 months to be fully integrated with the bone. This is called Osseo-integration".
After the dental implant has been inserted into the alveolar bone the dentist will perform another light intervention to attach the implant abutment to it in order to receive the prosthesis. Once the healing and Osseo-integration process finished the restorative dentist installs a final artificial prosthesis such as Crown Bridge or denture on the tooth implant abutment. Several visits to the restorative dentist may be required to obtain an ideal fit of the final prosthesis on the abutment.
Dental implants in one stage involves surgically placing an implant in the jaw so that it will be directly on the jaw bone, with the upper part of the implant in the gum's tissue. Then, the latter is sewed by leaving the implant head visible. After several months of healing, the abutment of the dental implant and the temporary restoration can be fixed without the need for minor surgery to expose the head of the implant. For instance, the Subperiosteal implants are most commonly used for dental implant procedures in one step. They are mainly used to maintain prostheses in patients with insufficient bone height.
Post-operative effects and recovery after Dental Implant Procedure
During the first days you will feel pain as well as swelling at the operative site. It is essential to respect the dentist instructions during the first days so that the postoperative follow-up will be smooth. . It is recommended not to smoke because it increases the risk of developing postoperative infections, slows healing and decreases the success rate of the implant. It is important to brush with a very soft toothbrush after the operation to clean the wound. Mouthwashe products should be avoided. A first postoperative check is performed one week to ten days after surgery to ensure the healing process and remove the stitches. Two more control appointments between the third and seventh weeks are organized with the dental hygienist to ensure the good hygiene around the implant and check the good bone integration. The consultations lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.

Tooth Implants are more comfortable, more natural and more aesthetic which can help you feel better about yourself.

The dental implants will stay in good shape when perfect oral and dental hygiene is respected. The implant ensures the stability of artificial teeth and guarantees both chewing and speech. It can support both bridges crown and a removable prosthesis.
Before and after Dental Implant surgery
Before dental implant, an examination and 3D x-ray are important. Indeed, this step allows the dentist to accurately assess the bone volume of the jaw as well as the location of certain important anatomical structures for implant placement. Depending on the results, the dentist can advise you on the best solution for replacing your tooth. Finally, a surgical guide will be made using our 3D dental implants technology in order to respect as closely as possible the planning of implant placement. Before each implant placement you receive a dose of antibiotics to reduce the possibility of infection occurrence at the surgical site. No other particular preparations are recommended. Depending on the technique and your medical condition, the dental surgeon may or may not continue antibiotic therapy after the procedure.
After dental implant, it is advised to avoid eating hot foods or drinks during the days following the procedure as this increases the risk of bleeding in the mouth. On the other hand, cold beverages produce a vasoconstriction, by decreasing the diameter of the vessel, which reduces bleeding and edema.
