Dental implants

Long-lasting, radiant smiles with dental implants

Are you missing teeth? Are you looking for a long-lasting, aesthetic solution to restore a smile you can be proud of? Dental implants could be the answer. This treatment represents a significant advance in dental technology, offering a durable and aesthetic solution for people suffering from tooth loss.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is an artificial titanium root that is surgically inserted into the jawbone. During the healing period, which lasts a few months, the dental implant and your jawbone fuse together in a process called osseointegration. This root then serves as a solid foundation for a replacement tooth, crown or bridge.

Unlike traditional removable dentures or bridges, dental implants are fixed and do not move. This allows you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Spa dentaire Laurier offers natural-looking crowns that match the color, characteristics and translucency of your natural teeth.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

• Natural aesthetics: They’re designed to blend in perfectly with your natural teeth, for a flawless-looking smile.
• Durability: They are extremely durable and can last for many years, even a lifetime, with proper care.
• Functionality: Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and laugh without discomfort.
• Improved oral health: They preserve the jawbone and prevent bone resorption that can occur with removable dentures.
• Comfort: They’re comfortable and let you live without the worries associated with removable dentures, such as slipping or gum irritation. This quality is highly appreciated by Laurier Dental Spa patients.
