Implants & surgery

An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and acts as a support for a crown or a denture. It is one option among others, depending on the bone available and your general health. The practice also carries out extractions, including wisdom teeth.

Dental implants

A tooth is made up of a crown (the visible part) and a root, anchored in the bone. When a tooth is missing, the implant replaces that root: it is placed in the jawbone, then acts as a support for a crown, a bridge or a denture. 

Over time, the bone bonds with the implant, which allows it to stay in place. 

Extractions

The practice carries out extractions when a tooth cannot be saved or needs to be removed. This may be the case, for example, with :

  • a very badly damaged tooth that can no longer be repaired ;

  • an infected tooth that cannot be saved with treatment ;

  • a tooth affected by advanced gum disease ;

  • a tooth that is causing problems, or that needs to be removed as part of another treatment.
