The Smile Clinic Paris has become The Madeleine Dental Practice.
The loss of a tooth, whether due to trauma, deep decay, or periodontal disease, has consequences that go beyond aesthetics. It can disrupt chewing, affect the alignment of adjacent teeth, and alter quality of life.
Replacing a missing tooth restores a functional and stable oral balance while giving the smile its natural harmony back. At the Madeleine Dental Practice, we offer various durable solutions tailored to each patient’s expectations, dental health, and specific medical criteria.
The loss of a tooth alters the distribution of chewing forces. Some teeth become overused, which can lead to premature wear, joint pain (TMJ), or digestive issues due to improper chewing. An appropriate replacement restores balanced and comfortable chewing function.
When a tooth is not replaced, adjacent teeth may shift into the empty space. This phenomenon disrupts the overall alignment of the dentition, causes occlusal disorders, and complicates any future rehabilitation. Quickly replacing a tooth avoids these long-term complications.
The implant is an artificial root inserted into the alveolar bone, onto which a crown is affixed. It is the most stable, durable, and comfortable solution, with no impact on adjacent teeth. It is indicated if the bone condition is sufficient and if medical conditions allow.
The bridge is a fixed prosthesis supported by the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth. These teeth, called abutments, are prepared to support one or more crowns. The bridge is a good alternative to the implant when the latter cannot be performed or when the adjacent teeth already require restoration.
The removable prosthesis replaces one or more teeth. It can be partial (resting on remaining teeth) or complete. Although less stable than an implant or bridge, it is an accessible solution, especially in cases of extensive loss or during transitional phases before definitive treatment.
The choice of device is based on several parameters: bone quality, condition of adjacent teeth, oral hygiene, medical history, dietary habits, and age of the patient. A comprehensive pratical and radiological evaluation allows us to determine the safest and most durable solution.
Each solution has advantages and limitations:
At the Madeleine Dental Practice, we guide you in choosing the solution that best fits your needs and daily life.
Care begins with a comprehensive dental assessment. Depending on the chosen solution, the steps include:
In the case of an implant, a healing period of 3 to 6 months is often required to allow for osteointegration. This timeframe may vary based on the initial condition of the bone and the techniques used. Follow-up care is implemented to ensure the success of the treatment.
