DENTAL IMPLANTS MONTREAL

Dental implants
Patients who are missing teeth due to extraction or congenital absence of adult teeth are candidates for dental implants. Implants are a permanent replacement for missing or extracted teeth and can be a great solution for restoring bite. Doctors El-Hakim, Kontaxis and Morais are highly specialized surgeons and are always refining their knowledge to remain at the forefront of implant placement techniques. It has been proven that dental implants, with a success rate of 98%, are considered one of the surgical or medical procedures with the highest success rate.
What is a dental implant?
It is recommended to replace missing teeth in order to avoid, among other things, problems of bone atrophy and unwanted tooth migration. The dental implant permanently replaces an extracted or missing tooth. It is a titanium screw that is carefully inserted into the jaw bone and acts as the tooth root. Dental implants can also be used in patients who have lost all of their teeth to help maintain a denture.
What is the difference between an implant and a crown?
The implant replaces the root of the missing tooth, which is the part of the tooth located under the gumline. The visible part of the tooth is called the crown. An artificial crown is designed either by your dentist or your prosthodontist, who are experts in this type of fabrication, and is installed on the implant after the healing period.
What planning is required?
During your initial consultation visit with your surgeon, he will carefully examine the area of your mouth where an implant placement is recommended. The different treatment options will then be discussed. In the case of a toothless region for some time, it is not uncommon to have recourse to a three-dimensional X-ray to ensure the bone volume available. This is a review that we routinely do at our offices. Finally, the treatment plan is coordinated with your dentist in order to obtain the best possible results.
