Everything you need to know about dental implants
At our Sana Oris establishments, implants represent a major step forward, offering an effective and permanent solution for filling the gap left by missing teeth. These titanium or zirconia devices, carefully implanted into the jawbone, serve as a solid base for dental prostheses, significantly improving our patients’ chewing function, aesthetics and quality of life.
When is implantology used ?
Dental implants are used in a variety of cases to replace missing or damaged teeth.
- Replacing a single tooth: An implant can be used to replace a single tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth.
- Replacing several teeth: Implants can be used to replace several missing teeth using dental bridges or dentures attached to the implants.
- Replacing all the teeth: Dental implants can be used to support a full denture, providing a stable solution for edentulous patients.
- Stabilisation of removable dentures: Implants can also be used to stabilise removable dentures, such as dentures, by securing them in place.
- Jaw strengthening: In some cases, implants are used to strengthen the jawbone, particularly before dentures are fitted, or to improve retention of removable dentures.
- Correction of dental problems: Dental implants can also be used to correct dental problems, such as anchoring braces.
In general, dental implants offer a versatile solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth, improving patients’ chewing function, aesthetics and quality of life. However, their feasibility depends on the patient’s state of oral health, the availability of jawbone, and other factors that will be assessed by a dental health professional.
What are the advantages of dental implants ?
Dental implants have many advantages. By providing a solid base for prostheses, they improve mastication, speech and dental function in general.
What’s more, they blend harmoniously into the smile, preserving its aesthetic appeal. Durability is another key benefit, as well-maintained implants can last a lifetime and prevent bone resorption by preserving the jawbone. Patients also appreciate the comfort they provide, putting an end to problems of gum irritation and instability.
However, it is essential to consult a dental professional to determine their suitability for the patient’s individual situation. Our team of expert implantologists is highly qualified to carry out a wide range of implant procedures, from simple placements to complex dental reconstructions. Their expertise is backed up by the use of innovative techniques. What’s more, our state-of-the-art equipment guarantees the quality of our implants, promoting their durability and providing a reliable solution for our patients, no matter how complex their case.
Implants as a last resort
Although dental implants offer a valuable solution for replacing missing teeth, it is essential to understand that they are generally considered an option of last resort.
At Sana Oris, our approach focuses on preserving natural teeth through non-invasive care whenever possible. Preserving natural teeth is a priority, as they preserve masticatory function, aesthetics and the integrity of the oral structure. We recommend conservative dental treatment and preventive care to maintain the health of natural teeth.
However, in certain situations, when teeth are severely damaged, missing or there is no other viable option, dental implants become a necessary solution to restore oral function and aesthetics. Our team of qualified implantologists stands ready to intervene in these complex cases, while maintaining our commitment to non-invasive dental care where appropriate.
