What is a dental implant?

Implantology is one of the best solutions for replacing one or more teeth. Why? Because a dental implant is the closest option to a natural tooth. In reality, an implant is an artificial root made of biocompatible titanium that is inserted into the jawbone. Implants are very solid and comfortable. They make it possible to retain strength in the jaw when chewing.

When replacing a tooth, a crown is attached to the implant after a healing period. For multiple teeth, a fixed or removable bridge is installed on one or more implants.

There are many advantages to having a dental implant. In fact, people with an implant even feel like they have a natural tooth because it is so comfortable, natural-looking, and strong! Furthermore, the implant helps maintain a youthful appearance because it stimulates the jawbone, which prevents bone loss and premature ageing of the face.
