Dental implants in Forest and Brussels
Replacing a missing tooth with an implant restores stable chewing function without touching the neighbouring teeth.
Each treatment is planned from a clinical and radiographic assessment, and carried out in coordination with your regular dentist for the prosthetic part.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial titanium root placed in the bone to replace a missing tooth.
It allows a crown or bridge to be fixed, or a denture to be stabilised, without damaging neighbouring teeth.
The implant is a fixed, aesthetic and durable solution to restore chewing function and comfort.
Gum health and implant success
The stability of an implant depends directly on the health of the supporting tissues. Periodontal treatment may be needed before placing the implant to ensure a lasting result.
This overall approach is essential to the longevity of the treatment.
Implant treatment, step by step
Treatment takes place in several stages, individually planned to ensure a stable, long-lasting result.
Assessment and personalised planning
Clinical and radiographic analysis assesses bone quantity and quality as well as gum condition, in order to establish a precise treatment plan.
Pre-prosthetic surgery (if needed)
Gum management, bone regeneration or optimisation of bone and soft-tissue volume, to ensure long-term function and aesthetics.
Surgical placement of the implant
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic, in a secure and controlled environment.
Healing phase (osseointegration)
A healing period is needed to allow the implant to integrate with the bone.
Fitting the final restoration
Once healing is confirmed, the crown or final restoration is fitted, in collaboration with your regular dentist.
Every stage is explained in detail so that your care is clear and suited to your situation.
