Dental Implants in Kénitra

# What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small biocompatible titanium screw inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. After a healing phase known as osseointegration, during which the bone bonds with the implant, an abutment is attached and then a custom-made crown. The result mimics a natural tooth, without altering the neighboring teeth the way a bridge would.

# Who is it for? Indications

Implants are intended for people who have lost one or more teeth, following deep decay, a fracture, loosening of the teeth (periodontitis) or an extraction. They can replace:

• a single tooth, with an individual implant and its crown;
• several teeth, with implants supporting a bridge;
• a complete arch, with a fixed restoration such as All-on-4 / All-on-6.

A sufficient volume of bone is required. When it is lacking, a bone graft or a sinus lift may be carried out beforehand.

# What does the procedure involve?

1. Assessment and planning. A clinical examination, X-ray and Cone Beam (CBCT) scan to assess bone volume and the position of the nerve and the sinuses, then to draw up a treatment plan and a quote.
2. Placing the implant. Under local anesthesia, the implant is inserted into the bone. The procedure is generally well tolerated.
3. Osseointegration. A healing period of a few weeks to a few months allows the bone to bond with the implant.
4. Fitting the restoration. Once the implant has integrated, the abutment and then the final crown are put in place.

# Discomfort, healing and treatment time

The implant is placed under local anesthesia and the procedure is usually comfortable. Moderate after-effects (slight swelling, discomfort) are possible during the first few days and can be managed by following the post-operative instructions. The overall length of treatment depends on how the bone heals and on whether a graft is needed; it is generally measured in weeks to a few months.

# Fees: a personalized quote

Every situation is different: the treatment plan depends on the number of implants, the clinical situation and any preliminary procedures (bone graft, sinus lift). A clear, personalized quote is given to you after the assessment, and payment plans may be offered at the practice.
