Dental implant

Dental implants are the modern, innovative solution to restore both your smile and your oral health. These remarkable devices have revolutionized the field of dentistry, offering a permanent, durable, and natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth.

Introduction

Dental implant
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These posts fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth. Once the implant has fully integrated, a lifelike crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached, giving you the appearance and function of natural teeth.

What Exactly Is

Dental implant
A dental implant is a surgical component that serves as an artificial tooth root, typically made of biocompatible materials like titanium. It is surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth (crown), a bridge, or a denture. Dental implants are a durable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function and aesthetics.

Procedure

  • Initial Consultation:The process begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon. During this consultation, your oral health, dental history, and specific needs are assessed. X-rays and, in some cases, 3D imaging may be used to evaluate bone density and the placement site.
  • Treatment Planning:Based on the assessment, the dental team will develop a personalized treatment plan, including the number of implants needed, the type of restoration (crown, bridge, denture), and the surgical technique.
  • Dental Implant Placement :The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or conscious sedation. In some cases, if bone density is insufficient, bone grafting or augmentation may be required to ensure a stable foundation for the implant..
  • Abutment Placement:Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment (connector) is attached to the implant. The abutment protrudes above the gum line and serves as the attachment point for the final restoration.
  • Restoration Placement:After the gums have healed and the abutment is in place, the final dental restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is custom-made and attached to the abutment. The restoration is designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
  • Post-Procedure Care :You will be provided with post-operative care instructions, including proper oral hygiene and diet recommendations to ensure the longevity of your dental implant.
