Tooth replacement

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are metal posts (usually made of titanium) surgically implanted into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth.

Dental implants are advanced dental procedures that involve the replacement of missing teeth with artificial tooth roots and crowns. Here are five key points about dental implants:

Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as stable anchors for artificial teeth. The implant itself is typically made of biocompatible materials like titanium.
Osseointegration: The implant fuses with the surrounding bone over time in a process called osseointegration. This provides a strong and durable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Abutment Attachment: After osseointegration, an abutment (connector) is placed on the implant to hold the prosthetic crown. The abutment protrudes above the gumline, allowing for attachment of the visible tooth portion.
Prosthetic Crown: A custom-made prosthetic crown is securely attached to the abutment. This crown is designed to match the color, shape, and size of the adjacent natural teeth, providing a realistic appearance.
Benefits and Functionality: Dental implants offer several advantages, including improved aesthetics, speech, and chewing functionality. They also help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which commonly occurs after tooth loss.

Dental implants are considered a long-lasting and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, enhancing both oral health and overall quality of life for individuals with tooth loss.

Stable Bite

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer durable, natural-looking tooth replacement, restoring aesthetics and function. They preserve jawbone health, enhance speech, and boost self-confidence for long-term oral well-being.

Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and facial appearance.
Enhanced Speech: Unlike removable dentures, dental implants don't slip or cause speech difficulties, allowing you to speak with confidence.
Comfort and Function: Implants function just like natural teeth, enabling you to bite, chew, and eat a wide variety of foods comfortably.
Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term tooth replacement solution.
Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure.

Adjacent Teeth Preservation: Unlike traditional bridges that require adjacent teeth to be filed down, dental implants don't affect nearby healthy teeth.
Convenience: Implants are fixed in your mouth, eliminating the need for messy adhesives or removal for cleaning.
Improved Oral Health: Dental implants are easier to clean and maintain compared to other tooth replacement options, promoting better oral hygiene.
Natural Feel: Implants fuse with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation that feels just like your natural teeth.
Enhanced Self-Confidence: Dental implants restore your ability to smile, eat, and speak comfortably, boosting your self-esteem and overall quality of life.

Dental Implant suitability depends on various factors, so it's essential to consult with us to determine if dental implants are the right option for you.

Tooth Integration

Process of Dental Implants

Dental implant procedure involves surgically placing a metal post into the jawbone, allowing for attachment of a lifelike artificial tooth, restoring function and aesthetics to the smile.

1

Initial Consultation and Examination

The process begins with a thorough consultation and examination by a qualified dentist or oral surgeon. This includes reviewing your medical and dental history, performing a comprehensive oral examination, and possibly taking X-rays or CT scans to assess your bone structure and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants.

2

Treatment Planning

Based on the examination results, the dentist will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines the number of implants needed, their optimal placement locations, and the type of restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) that will be attached to the implants.

3

Preparation and Extractions (if necessary)

If there are damaged or decayed teeth present in the implant area, they may need to be extracted prior to implant placement. In some cases, bone grafting or other procedures may be necessary to build up the jawbone if it’s insufficient to support implants.

4

Implant Placement

During this surgical procedure, the dentist will place the dental implants into the jawbone. This is typically done using local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The implants are usually made of titanium, which has the unique ability to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.

5

Healing and Osseointegration

After implant placement, a healing period of several months is usually required to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone. During this time, a temporary restoration may be placed to maintain aesthetics and function.

6

Abutment Placement

Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as a foundation for the final restoration and is often placed during a minor surgical procedure.

7

Impressions and Restoration Design

Dental impressions are taken to create an accurate model of your mouth. These impressions are used to design the final restoration, which could be a crown, bridge, or denture. The restoration is customized to match your natural teeth in terms of color, shape, and size.

8

Final Restoration Placement

Once the final restoration is ready, it is securely attached to the abutment. The dentist will ensure that the restoration fits properly and looks natural. You will be given instructions on how to care for your new dental implant and restoration, and regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress.
