Dental implantology
Get back a fixed tooth that nothing sets apart from a real one.
In a nutshell
A dental implant is an artificial titanium root, inserted into the jawbone to replace a lost tooth. Once fused with the bone, it holds a custom ceramic crown: the tooth is fixed, stable, and behaves exactly like a natural tooth for biting, speaking and smiling.
Unlike a bridge, an implant leaves the neighbouring teeth untouched and stops the bone from shrinking where the tooth was missing. It is today the most durable way to replace one or several teeth, up to a full arch with the All-on-4 and All-on-6 techniques.

Duration & stays
Plan on 2 stays: 5 to 7 days for placement, then 5 days for the final crowns, 3 to 6 months apart. In favourable cases, immediate loading fits a temporary tooth on the very first stay.
Recovery & upkeep
Mild after-effects: slight swelling for 24 to 48 h. Good hygiene, regular check-ups and quitting smoking are the keys to an implant that lasts a lifetime.

The process, step by step
- 01
Assessment & 3D scan
Clinical exam and 3D imaging to measure bone volume and plan the exact position of each implant.
- 02
Implant placement
Under local anaesthesia, the titanium implant is placed in the bone. A painless 30–60 min per implant.
- 03
Osseointegration
The bone heals around the implant over 3 to 6 months. A temporary crown can be fitted meanwhile.
- 04
Final crown
On a second stay, the custom ceramic crown is screwed or cemented. The result is immediate and permanent.
