Dental Implants

Dental implant is used for artificial tooth root replacement. It is a restorative dentistry option that helps the patients to fill up the gaps caused by missing teeth. The artificial teeth that are implanted into the jaw line of the patient are very similar to the real ones. Dental implants provide a permanent replacement for the missing or damaged teeth and offer a natural and efficient way to regain your beautiful smile and, strength of your dental structure. The artificial teeth not only help in cosmetic enhancement but also improve the chewing and speaking ability of a person significantly.

Dental Implants Types

Dental implants are categorized into two types:

• Endosteal (in the bone): This is the most common type of dental implant is used for patients with bridges or removable dentures. The various types include screws, cylinders or blades surgically placed into the jawbone. Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth.
• Subperiosteal (on the bone): This type of dental implant is ideal for patients who are unable to wear dentures and who have minimal bone height. The implants are placed on top of the jaw, with the metal framework's posts protruding through the gum to hold the prosthesis.

Dental Implants Treatment

We have highly skilled cosmetic dentists who perform the procedure of dental implants. The entire surgically procedure is completed in two sittings. During the first session the dentist will take an X-ray or a CT scan of teeth to evaluate the thickness of the jawbone and examine other dental disorders. Based on the results on the dental check up performed in the first sitting the dentist will plan a surgery and during the second sitting the titanium screw or post is surgically placed into the patients jawbone. After the titanium screw is fixed into the root a replacement tooth is attached to the top of it. Our dentist will make sure that the implants are fitted properly and you are comfortable after the surgery.
