Dental implants in Brussels

Placement is generally performed under local anesthesia and the procedure itself is therefore painless. Discomfort, swelling or temporary sensitivity may appear in the following days.

The duration depends on the number of implants and the complexity of the procedure. Surgery associated with a graft or complete rehabilitation requires more time.

Osseointegration generally takes place over several weeks to a few months, depending on the clinical situation, bone quality and the treatment performed.

In certain situations, yes. Immediate loading depends in particular on the stability of the implants, bone quality and the type of rehabilitation.

A lack of bone does not necessarily prevent implant treatment. Depending on the situation, bone augmentation, a graft, a sinus lift or other approaches may be considered.

Bone augmentation aims to recreate sufficient volume to allow an implant to be placed under good conditions. The technique is chosen according to the bone defect.

It is a bone augmentation technique used in certain posterior areas of the upper jaw when the available bone height under the sinus is insufficient.

Yes, in certain situations. The decision depends on the condition of the tooth, the bone, the surrounding tissues and the possibility of obtaining sufficient stability.

The majority of adults can benefit from implant treatment, but general health, medications, smoking, gum health, available bone and hygiene must be assessed.

An implant is designed to function in the long term, but no lifespan can be guaranteed. Its durability depends in particular on hygiene, surrounding tissues, smoking and follow-up.

We do not really speak of rejection as for an organ transplant. However, it can happen that an implant does not integrate properly with the bone or later loses its integration.

An implant requires careful brushing, suitable interdental cleaning and regular professional check-ups.

Yes. Several implants can support a complete fixed prosthesis; it is generally not necessary to place one implant per tooth.

It is a complete rehabilitation in which a fixed prosthesis is supported by several implants strategically distributed on the arch. In certain situations, a fixed temporary prosthesis can be made quickly after surgery.

3D imaging may be indicated to analyze bone volume, anatomical structures and plan the position of implants according to the prosthetic project.

Tobacco increases the risk of complications and can compromise healing and the long-term health of the tissues around implants. Stopping is strongly recommended.

This depends on the procedure and the activity practiced. After simple surgery, resumption can be quick; after a more significant procedure, a few days of rest may be recommended.
