Single Implant

A dental implant is a substitute for natural root in case of a missing tooth. It is made up of titanium cylindrical shaped screw. This screw provides foundation for crowns and also long term support.

BENEFITS OF SINGLE IMPLANT

No damage to the structure of the adjacent teeth.
Implant functions like a natural tooth.
They are aesthetically pleasing for a life time.
They are easy to clean and are hygienic.
No chances of decay

Multiple Implants

If you are missing 2 or more teeth, dental implants are an ideal replacement.

You don’t necessarily need as many implants as the number of missing teeth. For e.g. if you are missing 3 teeth in a row, one implant on either side and a crown is set in the middle. The benefit with implants is nearby teeth are not used as support for bridgework thus saving them from deterioration.

Implant Supported Dentures

Traditional dentures take support from the gums and underlying bone. This gradually leads to bone loss, especially in the lower jaw. Eventually the gum and bony ridge will not effectively hold the denture.

By putting 2 implants in the lower jaw, a removable denture is attached. This transfers the pressure onto the bone structure rather than the bone surface. In the upper jaw two implants are needed for support because of less bone density.

Full Mouth Implants

This is the pinnacle of dental implant treatment. Specific protocols have been developed at the clinic to provide fast and complete treatment with limited discomfort to the patient.

4 or 6 implants are placed in the mouth depending upon the strength of the gum and bone. The implants are then uncovered and extensions attached. Various connecting devices with temporary healing caps allow multiple crowns to attach to implants to complete the foundation for new teeth.

Immediate Loading Implants

Immediate loading implants allow us to have aesthetically pleasing teeth in less than 24 hours.

Using high resolution 3D CT scans and virtual planning software, the whole procedure is planned and completed after initial consultation.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting procedures are done to restore bone to its original form. It can also be used to improve structure after tooth extraction.

Sinus Lifting

Sinus lift is done when enough bone height is not present in the upper jaw or if the sinuses are close to the jaw. This makes placing dental implants difficult.

By cutting a gum tissue, the tissue is raised, exposing the bone. A small oval window is opened in the bone. The membrane lining the sinus is pushed up away from the jaw and bone graft material is placed.

FAQs

What is an Implant?

A dental implant is a small "anchor" made of titanium. It is inserted into the jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. After osseointegration, or when the surrounding bone has attached to the implant, a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the implant.

How can one know if he is healthy enough to have implants?

If a person is well enough to undergo the treatment necessary for fixed bridgework or routine tooth extractions, the same person can undergo dental implant procedures. Also, patients may have general health conditions that would contraindicate implant procedures, although this is unusual. The best form of implant for you is determined after a thorough examination and discussion with your dentist and periodontist or oral surgeon. The amount and location of available bone is usually the major determinant as to which implant system is to be used, or whether you are a good implant candidate.

Will my new teeth look natural?

Your new teeth will look and feel like your natural teeth.

What will happen without treatment?

Your jawbone begins to shrink from lack of stimulation. Losing your teeth will affect your smile and change the shape of your face, causing you to look prematurely aged.

Is implant placement painful?

No, dental implants are typically placed under local anesthesia. Most treatments can be completed in your clinician's office.

What can one expect after the anesthesia wears off?

Generally there are no open wounds with implant surgery so healing is quite quick and un-eventful. You can expect some minor discomfort, but that can generally be managed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or similar medication in prescription strength.

How long does it take to place dental implants?

It depends on the number and location of the implants, but simple, uncomplicated dental implant placement usually takes less than an hour.

How does the long-term value of implants compare to other treatment options?

Dental implants are low maintenance and provide stability and confidence in your smile. Therefore, the long-term value of dental implants far exceeds conventional treatment options.

What if there is not enough bone or gum tissue for the dental implant?

A graft may be needed if your clinician determines there is not sufficient bone or gum tissue.

How soon can one return to work after treatment?

You may return to work the next day unless otherwise instructed by your clinician. You may be prescribed medication to alleviate any minor discomfort you may have.

What about eating after implant surgery?

It’s generally important to avoid exposing any recent surgical site in the mouth to food if possible. A good rule of thumb is to eat soft, nutritious foods and keep well hydrated. Your dentist will recommend a diet and instructions on how to care for your new implants during healing.

How do one care for his implants?

Home care for your implants consists of brushing and flossing. Regular dental visits are required for long-term health and success.

How long does healing and construction of the replacement teeth (implant crowns) take?

The entire process usually takes about two to nine months, depending on your treatment plan. There are two main phases: First the implants have to heal by fusing to the bone, and then the tooth replacement restorations have to be fabricated and attached.

Can the body reject a dental implant, and if so what then?

Rejection of dental implants because of an allergy to titanium is extraordinarily rare, but it can happen. Occasionally an implant also doesn’t “take” or fuse to the bone the first time, either because it develops a capsule of fibrous tissue around it instead of fusing to the bone, or it gets infected. In either case it is simply removed and the site is allowed to heal. Then your surgeon can place another implant, which will integrate with the bone normally.

Are dental implants expensive?

Expense is always relative. For example, dental implants may be a little more expensive than fixed bridgework to place initially, but since they last so much longer, over time they are much more cost-effective.

How long do dental implants last?

Once a dental implant has fused to the bone successfully and it is functional, it should last many years if cared for properly. Many implants have now been in place for more than 40 years.
