There is now a safe and reliable method for replacing teeth, whether you have lost one, several or all of your teeth. Your new teeth look and feel just like natural teeth and allows you to live, laugh and enjoy life with full confidence.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is made of titanium and shaped like a screw. The implant is placed into the jawbone and serves as a secure root for the new tooth. Once in place, the implant can be used to attach different types of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges or dentures.
Our implantologist Dr. Cris Piessens placed his first implant in 1986, which incidentally is still there today. During those early days of dental implantology,
Dr. Cris was able to develop his skills with some of the leading experts in the field at the time. Now an expert in his own right, he lectures and organises specialisation courses in the Cris Piessens Clinic ; He placed through the years , well over a thousand implants with a statistical succes-rate as high as 96%.
If one tooth is missing... (
detailed information)
A single crown on an implant is generally the best way to restore your chewing function and natural appearance.
If several teeth are missing... (
detailed information)
A bridge or crowns supported by several implants will restore your functions and looks.
If all teeth are missing... (
detailed information)
A full bridge supported by implants or a denture retained by implants are the options available to you:
- A full bridge is fixed to five or more implants and can only be removed by the dentist.
- The implant supported denture is connected via attachments to two or more implants, allowing easy removal.
When in place, the denture is firmly attached to the implants and there is no risk of it coming loose. Your exact treatment depends on your individual situation and personal preference. The type and amount of bone, as well as, functional conditions will all play a role in the best treatment option for you.
