Dental Implants in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon

Implants and crowns on implants

The dental implants are artificial roots in the form of small titanium screws placed in the patient's jawbone to replace one or more missing teeth.

The crowns are prostheses placed on natural teeth in case of significant tooth damage or on implants, in which case we speak of crowns on implants.

The role of dental implants in modern dentistry

In modern dentistry, dental implants allow placement of a crown in case of single tooth loss, support a bridge in case of multiple missing teeth, support a fixed or removable full denture or even stabilise a dental appliance that moves.

Why use dental implants?

The implant placement, when possible, helps prevent bone resorption and premature ageing of the mouth. This technique preserves the bone in the jaw at the level of the missing tooth, applying the same forces a natural tooth root would.

Dental implant placement thus eliminates the risks of bone loss, which in the long term could change the shape of the face (mouth recession relative to the chin, reduced distance between nose and mouth, thinning of the lips...).

Benefits of crowns on implants

Placing a implant-supported crown is the ideal solution in case of single tooth loss because it provides function and comfort comparable to a natural tooth. The implant-supported crown is a long-lasting solution that stimulates the jawbone and slows bone loss without having to damage neighbouring teeth.

Conditions for successful dental implant placement

For a dental implantation to succeed, certain conditions must be met:

• A patient in good health.
• Completed jaw growth: this technique is therefore mainly applied to adults.
• Jaw physiology must allow dental implantation in terms of depth and angle.
• The bone volume where the implant will be placed must be largely sufficient. Otherwise, plan for a bone graft.

Advantages of dental implants

Placing dental implants offers several aesthetic and functional advantages, namely:

• Preservation of your teeth: no need to damage adjacent teeth for a dental implant, unlike the bridge placement technique.
• Preservation of your jawbone capital: the placement of a dental implant helps preserve the bone, which shrinks in the absence of teeth.
• Preservation of the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth.
• Restoration of chewing function: they allow you to regain comfort and chewing equivalent to natural teeth, each tooth resumes its precise function.
• Guaranteed success: no implant irritation or rejection has been observed, since titanium is a material perfectly biocompatible with the skeletal system and medically pure.
• Flawless durability: dental implants have a very long lifespan, they can last over twenty years.
