Dental Implants

All about dental implants !

Dental implants are metal supports that are surgically placed in your jawbone which serve as a natural root and are restored by a crown, helping you chew and smile confidently again.

Dental implants are nearly identical to natural teeth. They provide strong support without disturbing nearby teeth and have great success rates.

Dental implants: Types

1.⁠ ⁠Single implant for single missing tooth:

Losing a tooth is very painful and we sympathize with that. However, do not panic if you’ve lost a tooth- come in and see us! We’ll perform essential checks, including an oral examination, cancer screening, and X-rays or a 3D scan, to design a treatment plan just for you.

What’s the process?

We begin the process by placing a titanium structure into your jawbone. Depending on the case the healing process can take 3-9 months after which, a natural-looking, resilient crown will be attached. This allows for tooth replacement without disturbing adjacent teeth, enhancing the aesthetics, bite and chewing function. This uncomplicated, straightforward procedure will help you regain the use of your teeth like natural teeth and your self-confidence.

2.⁠ ⁠Implant-supported bridge: Effective for replacing two or three teeth.

If at all you have lost more than one tooth, the best we can  do is to bridge over dental implants to help you reclaim your normal life back. There are various types of procedures for bridge over dental implants.

What’s the process?

We place two titanium implants into your jawbone to serve as sturdy roots, capable of withstanding the chewing process. A fixed bridge of teeth, made of metal, Zirconia, or ceramic, is then attached to give full functionality and aesthetics.

3.⁠ ⁠Implant-supported fixed prosthesis: perfect solution for replacing all teeth:

Whichever may be the reason, losing all your teeth is an extremely painful situation and difficult to accept. We assure you not to be disheartened and not to lose confidence as we are here to help you the best with implants either with permanent or removable teeth.

They are of different types.

• Implant-supported full arch fixed dental bridges:

We place eight titanium implants to anchor the prosthesis and ensure even distribution of chewing forces. Bridge made from metal, Zirconia or ceramic are attached to these implants separated between them to enhance strength, long-lasting and natural-looking results.

• Bar-retained/locator-retained Implant Overdenture:

An Overdenture offers a reliable and simple solution. This removable denture is fixed to implants, providing better support, stability, and retention. It is suitable for denture wearers who are wearing the dentures for a long time which are ill fitting and struggle to keep them in place using adhesive.

The process of placing overdentures with implant support:

We place a four titanium implants into your gums, acting as new roots to hold the denture firmly in place. We attach a metal frame like a bar or tiny attachments to these implants, letting the denture snap into place. You’ll get the reliable fit and look of a fixed denture with the flexibility to remove, adjust, and clean it as and when needed.

• Implant-supported hybrid bridge:

If you’re dealing with loss of bone and gum tissue due to missing teeth and prefers a non-removable option, a hybrid bridge screwed into implants is the best solution.

• Process for placing a hybrid bridge anchored by implants:

We place six implants into your bone to serve as a strong foundation for the prosthesis. Once the process of healing is finished, we install a bridge with a metal framework and a porcelain or resin layer as suitable onto these implants, which helps bring back the look and feel of your teeth and gums.

Bone Graft

Restoring lost bone with a graft procedure:

If your bone isn’t thick enough to support implants, bone graft with biomaterials is used to make it possible to place dental implants even with limited bone
