What do you mean by Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots and among the famous treatments of our dental clinic. These artificial tooth roots are made up of titanium posts that are placed into your jaw through surgery. Once your jaw is healed, your dental implant dentist will attach a crown, bridge or dentures to support your implant. After the process, you are tension free about your missing tooth. Dental implants are more like your natural teeth so you don’t have to be worried while chewing that your artificial tooth will fall out. Implants are an everlasting solution for missing teeth and can last for a lifetime if proper care is taken off.

In the case of a single tooth replacement, we make use of dental crowns. In the case of multiple teeth, we use dental bridges. Finally, for the entire jaw, we have all-on-four implants. Above given solutions are very effective for missing teeth and will help you gain a beautiful smile.

Dental Implant procedure

The procedure starts with taking the x-ray of your mouth. This will help in determining whether enough bone mass is present or not and where should the implant be exactly placed. You will be given local anaesthesia so that your mouth is numbed and you don’t feel anything. After numbing your mouth the implants will be placed into your jaw surgically. Finally, your mouth will be left for the healing process. In the meantime, implants will grow and secure their place. Heaping takes about six to twelve weeks. Once healing is done an abutment is attached to your titanium post.

Finally, the impression of your gums is taken and sent to the lab where restorations are made. Your restorations when returns from the lab are attached to the abutment on your implant. Finally, you get your beautiful smile which you can show to the world.

Advantages of dental implants

Dental implants are a bit expensive but it has a lot of benefits attached to it. At first, dental implants help you in maintaining bone mass in your jaw. Your existing teeth are kept secured in their place and keeps your face young. Additionally, dental implants will make you more confident while smiling, talking and eating. You don’t have to worry about your missing teeth with implants. With implants, you get self-esteem, enjoy eating and be comfortable.
