ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

Is it possible at my age ? Our eldest patient is 100 years old. As a rule, if your health enables you to have wisdom teeth removed, you will be able to have dental implants installed. I have already consulted several years ago and I was told that installation of dental implants was not possible in my case. Is it possible today ? Consult your dentist once again, because new developments in oral implantology offer new possibilities. Does my health enable me to undergo successful implant installation if I have either diabetes, osteoporosis, heart trouble or if I am undergoing chemotherapy ? Yes. All that is required is that your sickness be under control. Obviously, before undertaking your treatment, Dr. Dupont will contact your doctor to check up on the state of your health and to discuss the necessity of taking any special precautions. Does it hurt ? The installation of implants is so gentle that we were referred to other clients by about 10 % of our patients who underwent the treatment. I'm very afraid... It's normal, and tell us. Our team knows how to give you personalized and attentive care at each visit. As well, we work with very effective products that will either help you relax or sleep, as you wish. What is the necessary maintenance ? Brushing your new teeth requires between 3 and 5 minutes mornings and evenings. How long will I have to miss work after implant installation ? The length of time you miss work depends on each person and on the number of implants. Are there rejects ? It may happen in one in a hundred cases. We correct this by installing a new implant free of charge. How long will I be without my teeth ? Due to contemporary techniques, the patient will keep his (her) teeth all throughout the treatment. In reality, the prosthesis are modified so that they will help the gums to heal. I had a bone powder graft or a skin graft several years ago. Is it possible for me to have implants ? Bone powder (Hydroxyapatitis) will only slightly improve the comfort of a lower denture. It is however possible today to remove it to enable the simultaneous installation of implants. Several patients have confirmed to us that implant installation was much gentler than bone powder. How much does it cost ? It is relatively easy for us to give you an idea on the telephone of the cost of implants, but you must not lose sight of the fact that it is only by a visit that you will have a precise idea of your own unique, personal situation.
