Dental care

The position of the teeth in a mouth depends on several organs such as for example the presence of adjacent and antagonistic teeth, the transseptal dental ligaments (linking the teeth together) and the general muscular forces in the mouth (tongue, cheek, etc.)

If a missing tooth is not replaced, dental displacements will therefore take place in the mouth resulting in orthodontic, functional, aesthetic and physiognomic problems.

If several missing teeth are not replaced, the masticatory load will then concentrate on the remaining teeth thus causing wear and tear on them, but also other relative consequences such as disorders in the temporo-manidibular joint and anatomical changes such as the enlargement of the tongue. Perioral wrinkles can be accelerated with an older facial appearance.

The dental implant is the revolutionary solution to the replacement of missing teeth. It is made up of 3 parts: a biocompatible structure composed entirely of titanium screwing into the bone (mimicking the role of a dental root), a ceramic crown integrating aesthetically and naturally with the gum and neighboring teeth, and a device that binds the implant in the bone to the crown.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia (similar to that used for caries care), in the least invasive way possible and as brief as possible in order to promote healing in optimal conditions and to avoid postoperative discomfort as much as possible.
