Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a reliable solution for adequate tooth replacement, whether one tooth or many. They provide a permanent, natural-looking, and fully functional option.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial roots that can support replacement teeth. Depending on the individual’s needs, they can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or larger prostheses like dentures. Implants help stabilize bone levels and prevent bone loss, resulting in better long-term support, function, and aesthetics. They are a superior option for replacing missing teeth as they do not require alteration of adjacent teeth and can also be used to stabilize dentures.

What types of dental implants exist?
There are two main types of dental implants: endosteal implants and all-on-4 implants.
Endosteal implants are the most commonly used option. They consist of a titanium metal rod placed into the jawbone and a supporting post designed to hold a dental crown or bridge securely.
On the other hand, all-on-4 implants are a newer system in which an entire upper or lower denture is supported by just four implants strategically placed to ensure stability. Using four implants promotes faster patient recovery and reduces the risk of complications from potential implant failure.

What is the procedure for dental implants?
The procedure for dental implants starts with a consultation and visual examination by the dentist to determine the suitability of the site in the mouth for the implant. If necessary, any existing teeth may need to be extracted, and a bone graft might be required. After these initial steps, the patient will need a few months to heal to ensure a strong and healthy bone at the implant site. Once the healing is confirmed, the dental implant is placed into the bone, and a healing cap is fitted over it to start the healing phase. Regular check-ups will be necessary to monitor the healing process and check for any signs of infection around the surgical site.

What are the benefits of dental implants?
The benefits of dental implants are significant for people experiencing tooth loss. When left untreated, tooth loss can lead to difficulties with chewing and speaking, as well as more serious issues like tooth shifts, jawbone deterioration, facial structure loss, and bite imbalances. Over time, the absence of a root system can cause these problems to develop. Dental implants provide an artificial root system to help maintain bone health and alignment, preventing short-term challenges and long-term complications associated with tooth loss. They are the most effective method for treating tooth loss, as they serve as an artificial root system to support prosthetic teeth and make replacement teeth feel more natural.
