DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY AT KREMLIN BICÊTRE
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
The dental implant or artificial root comes in the form of a screw made of a biocompatible material; most often titanium but also zirconia (ceramic). It replaces the root of a damaged or missing tooth and provides an anchor point for a future dental prosthesis (fixed or removable).
No, the placement of a dental implant is performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation.
In general, dental implants are among the most durable treatments. Appropriate dental hygiene and rigorous prophylaxis promote the sustainability of implant and prosthetic treatment.
There is no age limit for having dental implants but a pre-implant examination is necessary. Thus, a 3D X-ray can check several elements (bone volume, infections, root fracture, etc.).
Only a 3D X-ray (cone beam) can accurately determine bone volume. In the event of insufficiency, alternative solutions exist, such as filling the missing bone volume with a substitute (sinus lift) or performing apposition grafts.
Rigorous, proven and mastered protocols guarantee us work adapted to the situation, of quality. In the remaining 2%, it may happen that the implant mobilizes. It will then have to be removed and replaced after a healing period. This hazard only delays the treatment without compromising it.
