What Are Dental Implants?

The Dental implants provide a robust and long-term alternative with a minor surgery in case of a missing or seriously damaged tooth. While dental bridges are an option, they don’t provide the same long-term stability or bone preservation benefits that implants do. Dental implants are designed from biocompatible materials, like as titanium, to serve as prosthetic roots.  After surgical insertion into the jawbone, it naturally provides a stable foundation for a crown. A custom-made dental crown, which also uses post Root Canal Treatment, is affixed to the implant to give it the feel of a natural tooth once it has healed.

Why Are Dental Implants Needed?

  1. It is required to get a long-term cure for missing teeth.
  2. It can protect jawbone health and bone loss.
  3. The best solution is to provide functionality with the feel of a natural tooth.
  4. To avoid slipping or discomfort like traditional dentures.
  5. It is a good option for maintaining facial appearance and oral health.

Different Implant Procedures

If you’re missing just one tooth, a single tooth implant offers a durable and natural-looking replacement. It helps restore full function without affecting surrounding teeth, making it an ideal long-term solution.

2. Full Mouth Dental Implants

Full Dental Implants are required when multiple missing or severely damaged teeth need to be reinstated. This Process can restore function and aesthetics comprehensively.

Dental Implant Process

1. The Expert Will Do Consultation & Assessment

Our expert does a thorough examination, including digital X-rays. It involves assessing bone density and dental health. To provide individualised treatment planning, the medical history is reviewed to confirm that implant integration is safe.

2. Implant Placement

After a local anesthetic, the titanium biocompatible implant is surgically placed into the mandible. Before implant insertion, bone grafting or sinus lifts are advised if the jawbone density is inadequate.

3. Will Provide Healing & Integration Time

The implant becomes affixed to your bone during the osseointegration process, which occurs over the course of several (3 to 6) months. Osseointegration is the process by which bone tissue grows directly onto and merges with the surface of a medical implant to form a strong and practical attachment.

4. Restoration Process

After your teeth have healed, this is the final step to give them a natural finish. To give strength and confidence to eat, speak, and smile, a custom dental crown composed of zirconia, porcelain, and a combination of metals is affixed to the implant.
