Dental implants provide strength, balance and durability to dental restorations.
A dental implant is an artificial titanium root inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is then attached to the implant, which serves as an abutment to hold the tooth in place.
The installation of dental implants requires visits spread over several months. The staff at the Centre Dentaire Fairmount will offer you a treatment plan adapted to your situation.
X-rays and impressions of the jaw and teeth are taken to identify the bone, gums and space available for the implant. The implant is surgically inserted into the bone under anesthesia and the gum tissue is sutured. As the tissue heals, the implant will integrate with the bone and attach to the gum tissue. This step may require several months of recovery.
Depending on the type of implant, a second surgical procedure may be necessary to attach an abutment to the implant. The abutment is a part that connects the implant to the replacement tooth. In some cases, the placement of the implant and the abutment is done in a single visit.
After several weeks of healing, the artificial teeth are made and attached to the implant abutment by the dentist or a specialist. Fitting replacement teeth may require several visits.
After treatment, you will receive instructions to ensure speedy recovery and reduce the risk of complications. Good oral hygiene, healthy eating habits and regular dental visits will help you keep your new implant for several years.
