DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants are a modern and reliable way to replace missing teeth. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping patients regain their smile and confidence. A dental implant is a small screw-like structure made of biocompatible titanium that is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root. Once the implant is securely placed, it gradually bonds with the bone over time, creating a strong and stable foundation.

After healing, a custom-made artificial tooth, called a crown, is attached to the implant, completing the restoration.

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

When a tooth is lost, it can lead to several problems such as:

• Difficulty chewing food
• Teeth shifting from their original position
• Bone loss in the jaw
• Changes in facial appearance
• Loss of confidence while smiling or speaking

Dental implants help prevent these problems.

1. What are the parts of a dental implant?

A dental implant usually has three main parts –

• An implant fixture is a titanium screw that is placed inside the jawbone and acts as an artificial tooth root.
• An abutment is a connector that attaches to the implant and holds the crown.
• A crown is the visible artificial tooth that is designed to look and function like a natural tooth.

2. What are the types of dental implants?

Dental implants are available in different types depending on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the jawbone, and the treatment plan
recommended by the dentist.

The main types of dental implants used in dentistry are described below-

a. Single implants
b. Multiple implants
c. Immediate implants
d. Basal implants
e. Zygomatic implants
f. Pterygoid implants
g. Mini implants

3. How long does it take for a dental implant to heal?

After the implant is placed in the jawbone, it usually takes around 3 to 4 months for the implant to properly fuse with the bone. This natural process is called osseointegration, and it ensures that the implant becomes strong and stable before the final tooth is attached.

4. Is the implant procedure painful?

Dental implant placement is usually done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel little to no pain during
the procedure. After the treatment, there may be mild swelling or discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with prescribed medications.

5. What is the healing period after dental implants?

The initial healing period after implant placement is usually 7 to 10 days, during which the gums heal around the implant. However, the implant takes a few months to completely integrate with the bone before the final crown can be placed.

6. What is the cost of dental implants?

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the type of implant system used, the condition of the jawbone, and the overall treatment plan. At our clinic, we offer different implant options to suit the needs and budget of our patients.
