Dental Implants
Dental implants are reshaping the method of restoring lost teeth.
With the help of safe and durable teeth like replacements, dental
implants help to restore the form and functionality of teeth.
Patients who encounter missing teeth can now continue to indulge in
day-to-day activities, eat their favorite food, and bring out a
whole new smile thanks to dental implants
What are dental implants?
Designed in the form of Titanium screws, implants are a miniature
form of artificial roots that are inserted into the jaw bone where
the tooth is missing. These implants are surgically placed into the
jaw bone by an expert dental surgeon. They function just like
natural roots which are durable. With time, the jawbone blends with
the Titanium screws. An abutment is attached to these implants. They
serve as stable anchors for artificial teeth replacement. The
restoration, in the form of a crown, will be bound above the
abutment and will function like natural teeth.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implants help restore and preserve the facial structure
providing reliable and durable roots for teeth. Dentists recommend
dental implants for several reasons. Implants help preserve bone
deterioration, which is the primary cause of tooth loss. As patients
attain implants, it serves not only as a restoration but protects
the health of the jawbone. The Titanium posts also promote bone
growth. Here are the advantages of dental implants:
- Help restore the aesthetics of teeth.
- Improves mastication and chewing process.
- Reduces load over other oral appliances.
- Reduces bone deterioration.
- Preservers tooth tissue.
- Helps improve phonetics.
Who are the ideal candidates for dental implants?
Dental implants are suitable for both adults and children. Before
getting implants, the dentist would perform an oral evaluation and
provide a proper diagnosis which would lead the dentist
to decide whether the patient is in need of implants.
What is the procedure for getting a dental implant?
A typical procedure for getting an implant would involve the
surgical insertion of the implant. We provide patients with mild
sedation before a procedure to ensure maximum patient comfort. This
sedation is safe and free of side effects. Getting an implant would
involve two phases. During the first phase, the dentist will
carefully place the implant inside the jaw bone. A certain waiting
period will be advised which would allow the Titanium implants to
properly bond with the jawbone. The second phase will begin once the
implant has completely fused with the jawbone. During the second
phase, abutments are carefully placed above the implant. Abutments
will function as strong anchors for artificial teeth. The dentist
then puts the artificial tooth above the abutment restoring standard
functions of teeth.
