What sets us apart

Our comprehensive approach

With Dr. Fortin’s unique surgical and prosthodontic expertise (crowns and bridges, implant-supported restorations) and his professional generosity, we are able to easily design an ideal or alternative treatment plan for our patients, and even anticipate the final result.

This allows us to work in partnership with a large number of dentists and to help them achieve optimal results by providing technical support from our exclusive team of highly experienced, seasoned technicians, all at no extra cost to our patients.

Our exclusive, patented technique for the completely edentulous maxilla

Our treatment approach is definitely less invasive and less traumatic for patients, especially for those with an edentulous upper maxilla.

The exclusive approach that we have developed over the years is called the Marius Bridge. It has been the topic of two articles published in prestigious scientific journals and numerous presentations at international conferences. The Marius Bridge is now patent-protected world-wide.

The Marius Bridge allows us to treat 95% of our patients with no upper teeth (edentulous upper maxilla) without a bone graft and without compromising aesthetics, phonetics, maintenance, and comfort. To date, over 1,000 patients have been successfully treated using this approach.

Our treatment planning

  • STEP 1. Consultation at the Centre d’implantologie Dentaire de Québec/de Montréal with Dr. Yvan Fortin. You will receive a free diagnosis and a complete treatment plan that you can present to your dentist, who will remain in close and constant contact with Dr. Fortin. During this stage, the surgical plan is developed. In most cases where aesthetics is at stake we can place an implant and a temporary tooth immediately. Thanks Dr. Fortin’s expertise in implant surgery and is knowledge of restorations acquired over the years, there is virtually no pain, and complications are very rare. If you are not referred by a dentist, you can contact the Centre directly
  • STEP 2. The first surgical phase. Dr. Fortin will install your dental implant during this phase. With recent developments in implantology, we can replace one, several, or even all your teeth. Only in certain cases will it be necessary to proceed to a second surgical phase to ensure optimal results.
  • STEP 3. The prosthetic phase. In this phase, the restoration (for example, a crown, a bridge, a Marius Bridge, etc.) is placed on the osteointegrated implants.
  • STEP 5. Regular follow-up by your dentist. We recommend that you see your dentist every six months, just like people with natural teeth.
