Dental Implants in Kenitra
Permanent solutions for missing teeth
A dental implant is an artificial titanium root placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. It then holds a crown or a bridge, or stabilizes a denture. At Centre Dentaire Maamora in Kenitra, every implant plan starts with a full assessment.
When to see us
- One or more missing teeth
- An uncomfortable or loose bridge or denture
- Wanting to avoid grinding down neighbouring teeth, as a bridge requires
How the treatment works
- Consultation, exam and X-rays (and a 3D scan if needed) to assess the bone
- Placing the implant under local anaesthesia
- Healing: the implant fuses with the bone over several weeks to a few months
- Impressions, then fitting the final crown or prosthesis
Duration and number of visits
Placing an implant takes one appointment. The whole process, up to the final crown, usually takes two to six months depending on bone quality and whether a bone graft is needed.
After the treatment
- Cold packs on the cheek and soft, lukewarm food for the first days
- No smoking while it heals: smoking raises the risk of failure
- Careful brushing and regular check-ups to keep the implant healthy long term
Frequently asked questions
Does getting an implant hurt?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. In the following days some discomfort or mild swelling is possible and is usually managed with simple painkillers.
Can anyone have an implant?
Most adults can. Smoking, poorly controlled diabetes or insufficient bone need a closer assessment; a bone graft is sometimes required.
How long does an implant last?
Well cared for, an implant can last many years. Daily hygiene and regular check-ups are essential to protect the bone and gum around it.
