Implantology

A Dental Implant is an artificial tooth root that an Implantologist places intoyour jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge

  • who is a candidate for implants

     

          Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some   other reason. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

    Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you don’t even feel like you lost a tooth. Your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence Dental implants are the solution to your problem!

  • what is the role of an implant ?

     

    • Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
    • Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
    • Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
  • what sort of implant do we use?

     

    Endosteal(in the bone): This is the most commonly used type of implant.
    We use the  screw or cylinders type of implant which is  placed into the jawbone.
     Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth.
     This type of implant is generally used as an alternative for patients with bridges or removable dentures.
  • what are the advantages of an implant over conventional prosthetic dental appliances?

     

    Dental implants are a better solution to the problem of missing teeth.

    • Esthetic: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth!

    Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent bone loss and gum recession that often accompany ridgework and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replaced tooth.

    • Tooth-saving:   Dental implants don't sacrifice the quality of your natural adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant.
    • Confidence:   Dental implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence.
    • Reliable :  The success rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.
  • Where can implants be used?

     

    Replacing a Single Tooth:  If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it. A dental implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root.

    Replacing Several Teeth If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.

     

    Replacing All of Your Teeth If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.

     

    Sinus Augmentation  A successful implant dependes on quality and quantity of bone at the implant site. The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. Sinus augmentation can help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants.

  • after care

    Just as our natural teeht need consistent care and cleaning so also an implant placed in the mouth needs conscientious home care and regular dental check ups. An Implant is like a natural tooth that needs to be brushed and flossed daily.
