Dental implants in Satigny, Geneva
We are specialists in dental implants.
Implants provide a solid foundation for high-quality dental prostheses. They let you regain chewing comfort and a harmonious smile, without needing to grind down the neighbouring teeth.
A high-quality fixed prosthesis with a dental implant
Dental implants are small artificial titanium roots that serve as a support for a crown, bridge or prosthesis. They allow you to replace a tooth without touching the neighbouring teeth.
An implant is a demanding treatment, designed to last for many years, so it is important to choose a dentist experienced in implantology.
A reliable and widely proven technology.
Used since the 1960s, implants are now a safe, common and very well-documented solution for replacing missing teeth. They can support a single tooth, a more extensive bridge or stabilise a complete prosthesis.
Made from titanium, a perfectly biocompatible material, implants integrate firmly into the bone during healing. Studies show that they offer a very natural appearance and comfort similar to that of an original tooth.
What does implant treatment involve? Does it hurt?
1. Examination
We begin with a comprehensive examination of your mouth, accompanied by X-rays. This allows us to assess the amount of bone available, identify sensitive areas (nerves, sinuses) and precisely plan the placement of the implant.
If necessary, a 3D scan (cone beam) is performed for an even more detailed view.
Objective: to ensure a safe, predictable treatment perfectly tailored to your situation.
2. Implant placement
The placement is carried out under local anaesthesia and is more like a filling than actual surgery.
A small incision is made to access the bone, into which the implant is carefully inserted. In some cases, if there is insufficient bone, bone regeneration can be performed at the same time.
Most patients describe the procedure as painless, and the aftereffects are generally very mild and well controlled with simple painkillers.
3. Healing and impression
Once the implant is placed, the bone will gradually bond around it, ensuring its long-term stability.
When the gum has healed properly, we take a very precise impression or digital scan.
The laboratory then fabricates a custom-made tooth (crown or bridge) that matches your colour, shape and smile.
4. Placement of the definitive tooth
The new tooth is screwed or fixed onto the implant, then carefully adjusted to ensure a natural feel. We check your bite, comfort, aesthetics and stability.
A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure everything is progressing perfectly and that you are completely comfortable.
Frequently asked questions about dental implants
With good hygiene and regular check-ups, an implant can last a lifetime. Sometimes the crown may need replacing after 10 to 15 years.
The choice of implant depends on several factors: the amount and quality of the available bone, the position of the missing teeth and your general health. After the examination, we select the implant best suited to your situation. We use only proven, high-quality implants from Swiss and German manufacturers (Thommen, Straumann, Camlog), so that your implant stays with you for many years.
The cost depends on your individual situation, for example the number of implants, the type of replacement and whether bone grafting is needed. After your first examination, we always give you a detailed estimate.
The placement is carried out under local anaesthesia. Most patients report little or no pain after the procedure.
