What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are medically pure titanium devices that are

placed into the jawbone. They act as an anchor to provide a solid

base for artificial tooth replacement.

The benefit of using implants is ?–

Tooth-saving: Dental implants do not sacrifice the quality of your

adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighbouring teeth are

not altered to support the implant. Your teeth are untouched which

is a significant long-term benefit to your oral health!

Comfort: Dental implants will allow you to speak and eat once

again with comfort and confidence. They are more secure and can

offer freedom from the troublesome clicks and wobbles of loose

dentures. Finally, you can say goodbye to misplaced dentures,

messy pastes and glues.

Convenience: Removable dentures are just that - removable.

Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of

removing your dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives

to keep your dentures in place.

Reliable: The success rate for dental implants is highly

predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth

replacement.

Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your

own teeth. Since they are designed to fuse with bone, they

become permanent.

When are dental implants best advised?

• Replacement of a single tooth.

• Replacement of multiple teeth.

• Replacement of the entire dental arch.

What is the difference between a bridge and dental implants?

Unlike conventional bridgework, implants can provide tooth

replacement without the need to cut down adjacent teeth.

In addition to preservation of adjacent teeth, dental implants also

prevent loss of bone in the area of the missing tooth.

Immediately following the loss of a tooth, the bone begins to melt

away. Replacing the tooth with an implant restores function to the

bone and prevents resorption of the bone.

What if I have lost all my teeth?

Dental Implants are artificial tooth roots. A dental implant provides a foundation to hold down a denture and hold it firmly in place. Dental implants provide a stable foundation for a denture for someone who has lost all of their natural teeth. It is estimated that implant supported dentures will restore nearly 90% of chewing ability.

How much pain will I experience?

There’s no pain while undergoing treatment. But in case you are very apprehensive, you can receive local anesthesia for your peace of mind. Usually, an over-the-counter pain reliever will reduce most discomfort.

When can I return to work after implant surgery?

You can go to work the next day, unless some particular surgical circumstance arises. Your implant dentist will discuss all post-operative instructions with you.

Are there any age limitations for dental implants?

No. Any person, at any age can have dental implants as long as there is enough bone available in which to place the implants.

How successful is the procedure?

Dental implants have been widely used since 1970s. Good oral hygiene is an important factor, which can be accomplished through regular brushing and flossing around your implant.

How much will it cost?

Since only one tooth is replaced rather than the three teeth of a bridge, dental implant tooth replacement can actually cost less than the traditional bridgework. But the number of implants that will be placed, the type of prosthesis recommended and your particular case, will determine the cost. This can only be determined after a thorough examination by your dentist.
