Not so long ago, the loss of teeth was considered
a normal part of ageing. Many people thus accepted the consequences
of this ancient belief and had to live with the physical and psychological
repercussions related to the absence of one, many or even all of their
teeth.
Luckily, things are different now! The efficient replacement of lost teeth has always been one of the essential preoccupations of dentistry. Moreover, research has progressed in a spectacular fashion in the last few decades. The techniques and materials enabling us to join synthetic elements to the jaw bones while fulfilling the functions which were once the prerogative of natural teeth are now well in place and highly evolved. The question of dental implants raises many queries, and having worked in the domain for many years, I realise that the client often has difficulty in understanding all of the intricacies of the subject. I have thus prepared the following text which attempts to answer the principal questions which people ask when they are considering this type of treatment. My explanations obviously cannot answer all of your questions and cannot replace a meticulous clinical examination, nor the discussion which accompanies it. They should however, help you to understand certain points and help you see more clearly.
