Dental Implant Placement in Gatineau

In most cases, tooth extraction is preferable. Replacing a tooth with an implant is an excellent long-term option. To avoid any problems, after a tooth is extracted, an implant must be placed.

Only the dentist can determine if the implant can be placed immediately after the tooth is extracted. As part of the consultation, the periodontist can evaluate the possibility of placing the implant at the same time as the extraction.

Solution: Place an implant on a tooth

It is possible to use implants to replace one or more teeth. In general, it is not necessary to place one implant per tooth. The periodontist can suggest several treatment combinations.

Solution: Place implants on several teeth

When you have recently lost or have been missing teeth for some time, dental implants offer you the possibility of attaching a complete set of braces to prevent them from moving and becoming dislodged. Unlike traditional dentures (without implants), dentures with implants avoid damaging the gums and allow you to chew as you would with natural teeth.

Solution: Replacement of all teeth

For reasons of aesthetics, functionality, cost or according to the patient's wishes, it is sometimes preferable to extract all remaining teeth.

• Terminal dentition
• Unstable teeth
• Very advanced gum disease
• The patient wants to extract all the teeth
• With dental implants, it is possible to replace a tooth the same day. Of course, you won't go a day without a tooth!

It is not necessary to place one implant per missing tooth. Usually, between 2 and 8 implants per jaw can be placed to replace all the teeth.

Solution: Replacement of all teeth

Dental implants are a simple, quick and painless solution that will allow you to regain the same chewing strength as with your natural teeth.

Implants can correct the following difficulties:

• Prosthesis that causes pain in the gums
• Unstable prosthesis that moves when speaking
• Unstable prosthesis that moves when eating
• Prosthesis that is easily dislodged
• Reduction of the gum and jawbone under the denture
• Embarrassment caused by the denture in public

Solution: A prosthesis on implant

A partial denture (denture that replaces only a few teeth) is sometimes unstable or unsightly because the metal clasps are visible in your smile.

The following problems can be corrected with implants:

• Denture hooks are not visible
• Denture clasps that are not stable
• Prosthesis that causes pain in the gums
• Prosthesis that is easily dislodged
• Loss of gum and jawbone under the denture.
