The dental implant
An artificial titanium root placed in the bone, holding a crown. It replaces one tooth without touching the neighbouring ones.

Treatments
One tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch.
The right solution depends on how many teeth are missing and how much bone is available. It is decided together, after an examination and three-dimensional imaging.
The implant-supported bridge
Several adjacent teeth replaced on two implants or more, rather than one implant per tooth.
About bridges →
Bone graft and sinus lift
When the bone is not thick enough to hold an implant, it can be rebuilt beforehand. This is common, and it is planned for.
About bone grafts →
Full-arch restoration
An entire arch restored on a reduced number of implants, for people with no remaining teeth or troubled by a removable denture.
About full-arch restoration →The method
Placing an implant starts with preparing.
Three-dimensional imaging measures bone volume and the position of nerves and sinuses before the procedure. A surgical guide then transfers the planned position, including angle and depth.
Nothing is discovered on the day of surgery: everything has been seen, measured and explained beforehand.
How it unfolds
Five stages, and nothing that is not explained first.
The longest stage is also the quietest: healing, during which the bone bonds to the implant. It asks for nothing but time.
1
Consultation and assessment
Examination, 3D imaging, bone analysis and a detailed written estimate.
2
Placing the implant
A procedure under local anaesthetic, guided by the imaging.
3
Healing
The bone bonds to the implant. A temporary tooth may be fitted.
4
Fitting the crown
Impression, fabrication, then fitting of the final tooth.
5
Follow-up
Regular check-ups, as for your other teeth.

Making a choice
Implant or bridge: how to choose?
Two ways of replacing a missing tooth, two different logics, and what the condition of the neighbouring teeth changes.

What we are asked most often.
Does it hurt?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic: it is not painful in itself. Moderate after-effects such as swelling or tenderness may appear in the following days; they are usually well controlled by the painkillers prescribed. Aftercare instructions are given to you on the day.
How long does a treatment take?
Placing a single implant usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. The full treatment runs over several weeks to a few months, because the bone needs to bond to the implant before the final crown can be fitted.
What does it cost, and what is reimbursed?
The cost depends on the type of implant, on whether a bone graft is needed beforehand and on the type of crown. A personalised estimate is given to you after the assessment. The implant itself is not reimbursed by Assurance Maladie, the French state health insurance; the crown may be partly covered, and many complementary insurers, known here as mutuelles, offer a fixed allowance.
What if I do not have enough bone?
This is a common situation, and it has an answer: a bone graft or a sinus floor elevation rebuilds the volume needed before the implant is placed.
How long does an implant last?
An implant is designed to last and can stay functional for many years. Its longevity depends on daily oral hygiene, on regular follow-up, on not smoking and on the health of the gums. The crown itself may need replacing over time.
