Areas of Expertise — Nice and Geneva
Dr Sylvain Mouraret’s practice focuses on three complementary surgical disciplines in Nice and Geneva. He welcomes patients referred by their dentist as well as those who contact him directly; routine dental care continues to be provided by their regular dentist.
01 — Gums and Supporting Bone
Periodontology focuses on the tissues that support the teeth: the gums, bone and periodontal ligament. The aim is to halt periodontal disease, stabilise the teeth and maintain these results over time through regular follow-up care.
Treatments Provided
02 — Remplacer les dents
Replacing one or more teeth with dental implants begins with careful planning: three-dimensional imaging (CBCT), assessment of bone volume and planning of the final restoration before any surgery.
Treatments Provided
03 — Bone and oral tissues
Procedures involving the bone and oral tissues, often to prepare for implant or orthodontic treatment, or to address a condition that the patient’s regular dentist prefers to refer to a surgeon.

Frequently asked questions
No. Many patients are referred by their regular dentist, but you can also book an appointment directly. In both cases, Dr Mouraret keeps your regular dentist informed of the diagnosis and the treatment provided.
The consultation begins with a comprehensive clinical examination to assess the gums and bone, with X-rays or three-dimensional imaging (CBCT) if needed. Dr Mouraret then explains the diagnosis and available treatment options. A treatment plan and detailed cost estimate are provided before any treatment begins.
Yes. The same practitioner provides the same treatments in both cities. Only the insurance coverage arrangements differ. In France, some procedures are reimbursed by the statutory health insurance system and supplementary health insurance. In Switzerland, basic health insurance (LAMal) generally does not cover dental care, although supplementary insurance may contribute to the cost.
Gums that bleed when brushing, swelling or redness, persistent bad breath, receding gums, or teeth that become more sensitive, loose or shift position. These signs may indicate periodontal disease, which is often painless in its early stages: seeking advice early is best.
Periodontitis is a chronic disease, but it can be stabilised. Treatment eliminates the infection and allows the tissues to heal. Lost bone does not grow back spontaneously, but it can be regenerated in certain cases. Regular follow-up care, known as supportive periodontal therapy, is then essential to maintain the results.
Often, yes. When bone volume is insufficient, bone grafting, bone regeneration or a sinus lift in the upper jaw can help rebuild the bone needed. Three-dimensional imaging (CBCT) provides a precise assessment of the available bone and helps determine the most suitable technique.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is painless. After-effects are usually mild: some discomfort and swelling for a few days, well controlled with standard painkillers.
After placement, the implant needs to integrate with the bone: this process, called osseointegration, usually takes three months, sometimes longer following a bone graft. In suitable cases, a temporary tooth can be fitted on the same day: this is known as immediate loading.
It is inflammation of the tissues around an implant, accompanied by bone loss: the implant equivalent of periodontitis. Treatment involves thorough cleaning and, if necessary, surgery. Good oral hygiene and regular follow-up care remain the best prevention.
No. Removal is recommended when a wisdom tooth causes infections, tooth decay, a cyst or discomfort, or when required as part of orthodontic treatment. The decision is made following a clinical examination and X-rays.
