Dental Implant

What Is Dental Implant?

Dental implants are permanent, natural-looking tooth replacements designed to function just like your own teeth. They restore comfortable chewing and clear speech while helping maintain jawbone health and facial structure. Unlike removable options, implants provide a stable, long-term solution that feels secure and natural. With dental implants, you can smile, eat, and live with renewed confidence.

Why Are Dental Implants Important?

Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth, offering several benefits over traditional dentures or bridges. They provide:

  • A permanent solution for tooth loss
  • Improved chewing and speaking ability
  • Better comfort compared to removable dentures
  • Enhanced self-confidence with a natural-looking smile
  • Preservation of jawbone health by preventing bone loss
  • Durability and strength, lasting for many years

Dental implants restore both the function and aesthetics of your teeth, helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

Types of Dental Implants

Endosteal Dental Implants

Endosteal dental implants are the most common type of dental implants that we offer. These are formed by a titanium screw that is inserted into the jaw. This screw goes on to serve as the replacement root for your missing tooth.

Subperiosteal Implants

Patients who have insufficient bone density for regular implants can explore tooth replacement with subperiosteal dental implants. A metal framework is placed just beneath the gums to support the titanium screw.

Zygomatic Dental Implants

Zygomatic implants are ideal for people with severe bone loss in their upper jaws. These implants are longer than traditional implants, so they can connect to the zygoma (cheekbone). Placing zygomatic dental implants.

Basal implants

Basal implants, also known as cortical implants, are anchored into the dense basal bone of the jaw. This bone is stronger and does not shrink over time, making basal implants an excellent option for patients with severe pain.

Mini dental implants

Mini dental implants are smaller in diameter compared to traditional implants and are used when space or bone availability is limited. They are often recommended for stabilizing dentures or replacing small teeth.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants are advanced implant techniques used to replace an entire arch of teeth using four or six strategically placed implants. This method provides a fixed.

A small titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as the root for the artificial tooth.

The implant post is allowed to fuse with the jawbone over a period of a few months, ensuring a strong foundation for the replacement tooth.

Abutment Attachment

Once the implant is secure, an abutment is attached to the implant post to connect the replacement tooth.

Crown Placement

A custom-made dental crown is placed on the abutment to complete the restoration, providing a natural-looking, functional tooth.

Post-Procedure Care

The dentist provides instructions for aftercare to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results, including maintaining oral hygiene and follow-up visits.
