What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium with a thread and a connection. Anchored in the bone, it replaces a missing or lost natural root and serves as a support for a crown, bridge, or other prosthetic solution.
Indications
Dental implants can replace one or more missing or loose teeth. They have the advantage of not damaging your existing teeth, unlike bridges or removable dentures, which require the adjacent teeth to be damaged in order to serve as supports for replacing the missing tooth or teeth. The absence of a tooth, in addition to the aesthetic damage it causes, unbalances the entire dentition, which functions as a whole. This imbalance generally results in localized bone loss and tilting of adjacent teeth within a few months. This change also promotes interdental settling, masticatory pain, or back pain. Dental implants are therefore the best solution for restoring your quality of life and a harmonious smile. Whatever your situation, the dental center at the Phénicia clinic will listen to your needs and offer you a high-quality, personalized solution.
The different phases
Dental implants are fitted at the Phénicia clinic in Marseille under local anesthesia. All our procedures are performed painlessly and safely in an implantology unit, with the assistance of an anesthetist-resuscitator, to ensure our patients enjoy optimum comfort and maximum safety.The latest technical advances allow us to perform this procedure painlessly and minimize post-operative effects. However, the choice of a dental implant cannot be improvised, but is the result of careful consideration and a personalized study of each case.
Pre-implant consultation
A dental surgeon from the Phénicia clinic will see you for a pre-implant consultation, which is essential to ensure that the procedure goes smoothly. During this consultation, the surgeon will review your medical history and assess your clinical situation by taking impressions and prescribing a scan in order to evaluate the implant site, bone volume, and adjacent anatomical features. The treatment plan and estimate can then be established.
The surgical phase
The placement of an implant involves two phases: a surgical phase and a prosthetic phase. The surgical phase is performed under local anesthesia. The placement of the implant and its postoperative effects are relatively painless. This is followed by a waiting period of 3 to 6 months, during which time the bone will heal around the titanium thread: this is known as the osseointegration period. During this waiting period, the dental department at the Phénicia clinic will be able to provide you with temporary cosmetic solutions that blend in harmoniously with your teeth, if necessary.
The prosthetic phase
This second prosthetic phase can be carried out during or after healing. It involves several steps: shaping the gum, taking impressions, validating the prosthetic design with a temporary crown, and finally, fitting the permanent crown.
