A dental implant is a metallic thread made either of titanium or titanium covered with a bio-compatible material, which has the capacity to unite in a natural manner to the existing bone and whose appearance resembles that of a screw. The implants are put in place in your jawbone and after several months of healing (generally 4 to 8 months) they can replace the roots of your natural teeth and maintain in place a partial or complete prosthesis or even one tooth.

		Dental implants integrate themselves to the jawbone and reproduce the same action as the roots of your teeth. They thus fulfil the same role as natural teeth. Moreover, in addition to assuring a perfect stability for permanent or removable prostheses, the implant once again stimulates the bone cells which will stop degeneration.
The jawbone can thus maintain its volume and its integrity. The muscles and the articulation once again recover a stable dental environment which favours a return to an equilibrium in both articular and facial muscular condition.
