Teeth constitute a very important part of the human body; one or more missing teeth is a threat to the oral health and the well-being of the person. This loss alters chewing, phonation, speech abilities and may lead to more serious health problems over time. As for the incisors and canines, an incomplete smile has a huge impact on the look and the beauty of the smile, it becomes a true source of frustration.
Multiple solutions exist to treat a missing or a decayed tooth such as the removable prosthesis (denture), however, the most effective and permanent solution is the dental implant. There is nothing compared to receiving a tooth that functions and feels like the natural tooth. Besides, the use of implants to replace missing teeth (a few missing teeth or the whole arch) is a reference method with very good long-lasting results that Dr. Beldjazia has been practicing for over 10 years. has been practicing for over 10 years.
What is a dental implant?
The dental implant is composed of three parts: a root, a prosthetic abutment and a crown. The artificial root replaces the natural root of the missing tooth, it is a small screw made of titanium or zirconia that is usually shaped like a small cylinder anchored in the jawbone.
Made of materials that are biocompatible with the bone system, the artificial root doesn’t cause any allergic reaction. After placing the implant, an osseointegration period is necessary for the fusing and consolidation of cells with the jawbone. This bone integration period takes about one month or more, Dr. Beldjazia offers you the possibility to craft temporary teeth for you during this period.
If the bone structure isn’t dense enough, bone grafting is required.
The prosthetic abutment will perform as an intermediary and a shock absorber between the implant and the crown or the bridge.
The crown is an artificial tooth that replaces the visible part of the tooth, it is made of ceramics or zirconia. It covers the implant and takes the same shape, size and shade as the natural tooth.
Why choose dental implants ?
One can lose a tooth following a shock or trauma, an infection that invaded the side walls of the root, a total decay of the tooth, a periodontal disease or an agenesis which is the congenital absence of teeth.
This edentulism can cause displacement, loosening or loss of adjacent teeth, in addition, food debris and plaque will accumulate in this gap.
Several solutions are available to replace a missing tooth, some of which are obviously less expensive and quicker to manufacture but with a compromise on the aesthetic and functional side.
The dental implant is considered to be the solution that replaces your natural missing tooth with a durable artificial tooth made of biocompatible materials. The implant restores the functions of the tooth, allows you to regain efficient and comfortable chewing, the ability to speak normally and a beautiful natural smile that only a professional could recognize its nature.
Furthermore, the placement of dental implants in Europe is very expensive, namely in France, luckily dental Tourism offers you an efficient and less expensive alternative to receive a high-quality treatment identical to the one you could receive in your country.
