Dental Implants

Single Tooth Missing: A single tooth implant with crown is one of the best permanent restorations. And more importantly, it does not require grinding your adjacent healthy teeth for bridging.

Multiple Teeth Missing: If multiple teeth are missing in different parts of the mouth, several single tooth implants are good replacement restorations.

If multiple teeth are missing within the same region: Several missing teeth can sometimes be replaced with fewer implants because dental implants are stronger than the natural tooth roots. This solution includes having implant fixed bridges done.

All Teeth Missing: There are two options

Fixed Bridges anchored to Dental Implants:  It will replace a full jaw with dental implants along with a bridge fixed over them; thereby resulting in permanent and stable teeth structure and functions.

Implant Supported Dentures: They are the full dentures (overdentures) supported by implants – eliminating risks of them getting slipped off the places. Implants that are screwed in a jaw would provide better attachment for a metal bar; helping to support a removable denture.

Dental implants are like artificial roots for your teeth. They’re used to replace missing teeth and provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look and function like natural ones.

Here’s how the dental implant procedure works:

Evaluation: First, your dentist will examine your mouth and jawbone to determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. They may take X-rays or scans to assess the bone density and structure.

Placement: If you’re a suitable candidate, the dental implant procedure begins with placing a small titanium post into the jawbone. This post acts as the root for your new tooth.

Healing: After the implant is placed, your jawbone needs time to heal and fuse with the implant in a process called osseointegration. This usually takes a few months.

Abutment and Crown: Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. Then, a custom-made crown, which looks and functions like a natural tooth, is secured to the abutment.

Dental implants offer many benefits, including improved appearance, speech, and chewing ability. They also help prevent bone loss in the jaw and maintain the overall structure of your face. While the process may take several months from start to finish, dental implants are a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. If you’re considering dental implants, consult with a qualified dentist or oral surgeon to discuss your options and create a personalized treatment plan.
