What Are Dental Implants?

Dental Implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. It supports crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing a permanent and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

  • Durability: Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Natural Appearance: Mimics the look and feel of natural teeth.
  • Bone Preservation: Prevents jawbone loss caused by missing teeth.
  • Improved Functionality: Enables chewing and speaking with ease.
  • No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.

The Dental Implant Procedure

  • Initial Consultation:

    • Assessment through X-rays or CT scans to evaluate jawbone health.
    • Treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs.
  • Implant Placement:

    • Titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
    • Healing period of 3–6 months allows the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration).
  • Abutment Placement:

    • A connector (abutment) is attached to the implant.
  • Crown Placement:

    • A custom-made crown is fixed onto the abutment, completing the procedure.

Types of Dental Implants

  • Single Tooth Implant: Replaces one missing tooth.
  • Multiple Implants: Supports multiple teeth or a bridge.
  • All-on-4 Implants: A full arch of teeth replaced using only four implants.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: Stable and secure alternative to traditional dentures.

Who Can Get Dental Implants?

  • Individuals with good oral and overall health.
  • Those with sufficient jawbone density or willing to undergo bone grafting if needed.
  • Non-smokers or individuals committed to quitting for successful healing.

Care and Maintenance of Dental Implants

  • Brush and floss daily to maintain oral hygiene.
  • Avoid hard foods that may damage the crown.
  • Regular dental check-ups for professional cleaning and implant inspection.

Risks and Considerations

  • Surgical Risks: Infection, nerve damage, or sinus issues in rare cases.
  • Healing Time: Osseointegration may take several months.
  • Cost: Implants can be more expensive than other tooth replacement options.
