Are you about to have a tooth extracted and considering a dental implant to replace it?
Located on boulevard Eugène Deruelle for more than 22 years, Studio Dentaire in Lyon 3rd offers you tailor-made care and advice on the solution best suited to your teeth.
A dental implant looks like a titanium screw that the dentist inserts into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth.
Titanium is biocompatible: it is naturally accepted by the body’s tissues. As a result, the alveolar bone (jawbone) will heal and reform around the implant once it is in place. This process takes 3 to 6 months on average. This is known as osseointegration.
This specificity means that the rate of successful integration of a titanium implant is very high, as is its lifespan, which averages 15 years, depending on a number of factors – including, of course, oral health. The patient regains normal mastication and speech.
Once the bone has healed, a fixed dental prosthesis (a ceramic crown) can be attached to the implant using an abutment to replace the visible part of the tooth. The result is 100% natural-looking, undetectable and without metal edging. In some cases, a bridge may be recommended – in this case, the two teeth surrounding the tooth replaced by an implant and crown are cut to serve as abutments.
Located just a few steps from the Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse and 5 minutes from the Part-Dieu SNCF train station, Studio Dentaire welcomes you in a friendly atmosphere. Our team is made up of three dental surgeons specialized in dental implants in Lyon. We’ll explain the protocol in the event of a broken tooth: crown or implant.
To determine whether a titanium implant is feasible, we’ll start by offering you a comprehensive oral check-up. Good gum health, in particular, is essential.
In the case of gingivitis, we will first treat this problem before scheduling an operation. In some cases, the thickness or height of the bone is slightly insufficient: a graft may then be considered.
Once all the conditions have been met, your implant dentist will schedule an appointment for you to come to the surgery. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and is painless. To prevent any discomfort or swelling, you will be prescribed medication before and after thedental implant operation.
Surgery for a dental implant is simple and relatively quick: your practitioner begins by preparing the jawbone by making a slight incision in the gum. This slight opening allows the implant to be inserted easily, gently “screwed” into the bone and then held in place with stitches that allow the healing process to begin.
A follow-up session takes place ten days later. The sutures are removed as soon as healing is underway.
Once the healing process is complete, we’ll schedule the placement of the abutment and crown. For a harmonious, natural result, we’ll take impressions of your teeth using our optical camera, and the ceramic prosthesis will be made by one of our partner prosthetists.
Studio Dentaire uses only ASTRATECH titanium implants, the world leader in this field and the spearhead of research in the field. Each implant is delivered with a traceability sheet for optimal follow-up.
The price of a dental implant at Studio Dentaire is €990, and that of an implant-supported crown €850. An abutment (€405) must be placed on the implant before the crown is fitted. An estimate will be given to you at the end of your dental check-up. Treatment not covered by social security can be paid for in instalments, thanks to a personalized payment schedule.
