Dental implants resemble small titanium screws that are inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once successfully integrated, the crown (the visible part of the tooth) can be replaced by a ceramic prosthesis attached to an abutment.
Titanium is a biocompatible material, which means that once the implant has been placed, the jawbone (alveolar bone) will heal around it and integrate it into its structure – making it extremely strong. This osseointegration process takes place over a period of 3 to 6 months. The crown can be fixed once healing is complete.
Titanium implants therefore offer real advantages: they make it possible to avoid dentures, which are less attractive and more difficult to maintain, while restoring normal chewing and speech. The comfort they offer is comparable to that of a natural tooth. What’s more, they prevent teeth from shifting in the jaw: a common migration phenomenon when teeth are extracted.
The procedure takes place in one of our dental implantology suites in Lyon 3rd district. Before scheduling the procedure, we offer our patients a full oral and dental check-up to ensure that there are no contraindications. Indeed, dental implant placement requires a perfectly healthy mouth for successful integration into the bone structure. In the event of gingivitis or periodontitis, treatment should be considered before the implant is placed. A certain bone density is also required at the site of the tooth to be replaced. Once these factors have been checked, an appointment is made for the operation. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so is completely painless and relatively quick. The dentist prepares the gum to receive the implant by gently incising it. The implant is then fixed in the alveolar bone and held in place with sutures. The stitches are removed in the office once we’re satisfied that the healing process has begun – about ten days later on average. The dental abutment and crown are fixed once healing is complete. We use a 3D digital camera to take impressions of your teeth in the office, enabling our dental technician partners to create a custom-made ceramic crown that blends harmoniously with your smile. Regular follow-up checks are then carried out at our dental surgery.
Implants are considered “hors nomenclature” by the Sécurité Sociale and are therefore not reimbursed. A dental implant costs €990, an abutment €405 and an implant-supported crown €850. A personalized payment schedule is available on request.
