IMPLANTOLOGY
Bone graft for dental implant
Bone grafting for dental implants is an essential procedure for patients who do not have enough bone in their jaw to support an implant. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as previous tooth loss, periodontal infections, or natural age-related bone resorption.
Objective of the Transplant
The main goal of bone grafting is to create a strong and stable foundation for the dental implant. Once the graft is successful, the new bone can provide adequate support for the implant, ensuring its long-term functionality and durability.
The process begins with a consultation where the dentist assesses the patient's oral health. X-rays and possibly a scan are taken to determine the quantity and quality of available bone. This step allows a personalized treatment plan to be established.
Assessment and Planning
The procedure involves inserting a titanium implant directly into the jawbone, under local anesthesia. The site is prepared, and the implant is secured to allow osseointegration, where the bone gradually bonds to the implant. This step requires a healing time that can last several months.
Implant Placement
After surgery, the patient must follow post-operative instructions to promote healing. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor the integration of the implant into the bone and ensure that everything is going well before considering further treatment steps.
Monitoring and Integration
Steps of the implant
Single implant
Used to replace a single missing tooth.
A crown is attached to the implant to restore appearance and function.
Dental bridge on implants
Designed to replace multiple missing teeth.
A dental bridge can be attached to multiple implants, allowing multiple adjacent teeth to be restored.
Prosthesis on implants
Non-removable dental prostheses that are securely attached to implants.
They offer functionality and aesthetics close to those of natural teeth.

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial titanium root surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. It serves as a solid foundation for attaching a dental prosthesis, such as a crown, bridge, or removable tooth. The implant promotes bone regeneration and preserves jaw structure, providing a durable and aesthetic solution to restore chewing function and improve smile. The process involves several steps, including assessment, implant placement, and post-operative follow-up to ensure successful integration.
