Implantology in Sidi Maarouf
A dental implant is an artificial root, usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. Once bone healing is complete, a crown is fitted on top to restore a functional, natural-looking tooth, without touching the neighbouring teeth.
Why choose this treatment here
A durable solution
Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn't require reshaping the adjacent teeth.
Bone preservation
The implant stimulates the jawbone the way a natural root would, limiting bone loss over time.
A fixed result
Once placed, an implant behaves like a natural tooth in daily life.
Precise planning
The practice has a 3D intraoral scanner and panoramic X-ray to accurately assess the available bone volume before placement.
The main steps of implant treatment
- 1
Consultation and check-up, with a 3D intraoral scanner and panoramic X-ray to assess available bone volume
- 2
Surgical placement of the implant under local anaesthesia
- 3
A healing period (osseointegration) as the implant fuses with the bone
- 4
Fitting of the final crown once integration is confirmed
Frequently asked questions
How long does dental implant treatment take?
It varies by case: without bone grafting, the full treatment typically takes 3 to 5 months; with grafting, it can extend to 9-12 months. Osseointegration alone, when the implant fuses with the bone, averages 4 to 6 months.
Is a dental implant painful?
Placement is done under local anaesthesia and is not painful during the procedure. Mild discomfort or swelling may occur in the following days, usually managed with standard painkillers.
Who is a candidate for a dental implant?
Most healthy adults with sufficient bone volume are candidates. A prior check-up, including precise imaging, confirms feasibility.
Does an implant need special care?
An implant is cared for like a natural tooth: brushing, interdental floss or brushes, and regular check-ups to monitor the health of the surrounding tissue.
Is implantology covered by CNSS?
The practice is registered with CNSS; the level of coverage depends on your policy and will be clarified during your check-up.
