More than one in three adults, 35 years of age or older, needs to replace missing teeth.

Of the several millions of North Americans who have lost all of their teeth, half are incapable of chewing properly even the softest foods. Thanks to implantology these people once again experience total or partial buccal function as well as improved appearance.

Knowing that the bone and the gums subside at approximately 1 cm per decade following tooth extraction, one understands that wearing conventional prostheses (dentures) becomes more and more ineffective and even painful as the years go by.

Thanks to implants, the average toothless patient regains up to 85% of their lost chewing strength. Comfort, stability, and muscular tone are all greatly increased and contribute to developing an improved appearance.

Using implants is not limited to dentistry. People having lost an organ such as a nose, an ear or an eye can also benefit from the advantages conferred by implantology.
