Tooth loss

The causes of tooth loss vary from patient to patient, ranging from trauma requiring tooth extraction to various medical conditions.

Among the most common causes are:

• untreated tooth decay;
• a traumatic shock;
• periodontal diseases (mainly periodontitis).

There are several dental treatment options available to replace one or more missing teeth and restore a complete, functional smile.

Pour remplacer une dent manquante, le chirurgien-dentiste s’assure avant tout du bon état de l’os de la mâchoire. En cas de pathologie osseuse, d’infection ou de tumeur maligne, il est nécessaire de traiter l’affection avant de procéder à la pose de la prothèse.
Pour ne pas laisser la perte osseuse avancer trop vite, il est nécessaire de traiter les éventuelles maladies parodontales rapidement avant d’envisager le recours à l’implantologie ou à un traitement esthétique. Des traitements LASER assistés, indolores et efficaces, permettent de traiter la maladie pour aborder sereinement et de façon pérenne les traitements implantaires et esthétiques.

There are two categories in our solutions:

Fixed solutions: Fixed options provide stability and optimal integration in the mouth, ensuring increased comfort during activities such as chewing and speaking. They tend to require less adjustment and maintenance, contributing to increased durability over time. In addition, these fixed solutions can help preserve bone integrity, promoting overall long-term oral health.

• Dental implants: Dental implants are artificial titanium roots inserted into the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for dental crowns. They provide a permanent and durable replacement for one or more missing teeth. After implantation, a healing period called osseointegration occurs, during which the bone fuses with the implant. A dental prosthesis is then attached to the implant, providing an artificial tooth that is both aesthetic and functional. The advantages of dental implants include stability, bone preservation, and improved chewing function, but eligibility requires individual assessment.
• Ponts dentaires : Les bridges dentaires sont des prothèses fixes reposant sur les dents voisines à l’espace édenté. Ils se composent de dents artificielles soutenues par des couronnes dentaires, offrant ainsi une solution esthétique et fonctionnelle pour remplacer une ou plusieurs dents manquantes. La création d’un bridge implique la préparation des dents adjacentes et la fixation de couronnes dentaires qui soutiennent les dents artificielles. Ce dispositif permet de restaurer l’apparence du sourire, la fonction de mastication et l’alignement des dents, mais nécessite une bonne hygiène bucco-dentaire pour prévenir d’éventuels problèmes.

The removable solution: Removable partial dentures are essential for restoring chewing function and dental aesthetics. Their removable nature makes them more affordable than fixed solutions such as implants. However, despite this financial advantage, it is important to note that these dentures can sometimes cause discomfort and embarrassment for users, requiring a period of adjustment to their presence in the mouth. In contrast, fixed solutions offer better integration and greater durability in the oral cavity.

• Removable partial dentures: Removable partial dentures are replacements for one or more missing teeth. They rest on the gums and attach to existing natural teeth for support. They are preferred when several teeth are missing in one jaw, but there are still natural teeth to support them. Customized to the shape of the patient's mouth, they can be easily removed for cleaning and regular care.

The complete loss of teeth, known as total edentulism, can have a significant impact on daily life, affecting chewing, speech, and overall physical and psychological health. This condition can lead to deep-seated complexes, often associated with social withdrawal.

Before undertaking any procedure, an implant assessment is performed to evaluate the strength of the bone structure in preparation for implant placement. In addition, if there are any doubts about periodontal health, a periodontal assessment may be performed, as the presence of periodontal disease can seriously compromise the results and durability of the treatment.

Pour la restauration complète des dents, la procédure « All-on-6 » est recommandée pour les patients ayant perdu la plupart ou la totalité de leurs dents dans une mâchoire, et qui recherchent une solution fixe complète. Cette méthode implique soigneusement la pose de six implants dentaires dans l’os de la mâchoire pour soutenir une prothèse dentaire fixe complète. Cette approche permet de rétablir l’ensemble de la dentition avec seulement six implants, offrant une stabilité et une fonctionnalité supérieures par rapport aux prothèses amovibles traditionnelles. Suite à la pose des implants, une prothèse dentaire immédiate est installée, offrant une solution fonctionnelle et esthétique dès la fin de la procédure.

At Sana Oris, our implantology team is constantly striving to improve our skills. We firmly believe in the importance of providing the best possible treatment, even in the most complex cases. We understand the discomfort and lack of self-confidence associated with tooth loss. That is why we are committed to remaining at the forefront of implant dentistry, so that we can give our patients back their bright smiles in just 24 hours.

Implant procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring painless treatment. Available once growth is complete, implantology is suitable for all adult age groups. In some cases, the dental surgeon may deem it necessary to thicken the gum around the tooth to be protected by performing a gum graft.

Dental implantology offers natural and often imperceptible results. Patients can smile again without being held back by their insecurities.

Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to ensure that the results of edentulous interventions are long-lasting and that no other oral health problems threaten the results of treatment. We guarantee our prostheses for 5 years.

Our team will quickly arrange a consultation with you to discuss the various treatments and the best solutions for you.

After an initial consultation, your dentist and their team will provide you with information on the costs involved, depending on the procedure required to correct the tooth loss.
