Implant Dentaire – Dr Touati’s advice – Lyon

Adental implant is an artificial titanium root used to replace a missing tooth. It is inserted into the bone like a screw, fixed in the jaw. After a few months of healing, a prosthesis or crown can be placed on this artificial root to reconstitute the missing tooth.

In order to fit the implant, sufficient bone of good quality must be present. These parameters can be assessed using a scanner. Unlike removable appliances, implants can be used to replace one or more teeth. Unlike bridgework, they also preserve adjacent teeth. The implant solution provides an aesthetic and functional result that is closer to the natural tooth.

Implants are placed in the operating room, where they are aseptically sealed and traceable. After implant placement, the patient will need to undergo regular check-ups and maintain daily local care of both implants and teeth.
