What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the closest replacement for a natural tooth currently available. They are made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, which ensures compatibility with your body.
Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace the tooth root, providing a sturdy foundation for prosthetic teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer numerous advantages compared to traditional tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges.
- Restored appearance and confidence: Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function. They are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, restoring your smile and enhancing your facial aesthetics. Replacing missing teeth using dental implants, not only enhances your smile but also improves your facial aesthetics. This restoration can significantly boost your self-confidence and quality of life.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support. This means teeth are preserved, and oral health is promoted over time. Furthermore, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.
- Enhanced Comfort and Function: Dental implants provide a significant improvement in comfort compared to dentures. Securely in your jawbone, dental implants allow you to speak, eat, and chew confidently. Unlike dentures, dental implants do not slip or shift, ensuring a more natural and comfortable experience.
- Longevity and Durability: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Unlike other tooth replacement options requiring frequent repairs or replacements, dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, making them a wise investment in oral health.
Dental Implant Procedure at Dental Care Centre
Initial Consultation:
During your initial consultation, our experienced team will assess oral health, including your jawbone condition and eligibility for dental implants. We will discuss your goals and expectations and address any questions you may have. If you are considered a good candidate for dental implants, a customised treatment plan will be created.
Treatment Planning:
Digital X-rays and cone beam CT are valuable treatment planning tools. The scans are used to evaluate your bone density and volume at the proposed implant site, as well as the approximation of vital structures, such as the nasal sinus. Additionally, they help determine important implant parameters, including length, diameter, and angulation.
Dental Implant Placement:
The dental implant placement procedure is typically performed over multiple stages. Initially, an implant, which resembles a small screw, is surgically inserted into the jawbone. Over a few months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through osseointegration, providing a strong and stable foundation.
Healing and Temporary Restoration:
During the healing period, a temporary crown or bridge may be placed to restore your smile and protect the implant site. This allows for maintaining normal oral function while the implant integrates with the jawbone.
Final Restoration:
Once the implant has fully integrated, the final restoration can be placed. The final restoration may be a single crown, a bridge, or even a complete set of implant-supported dentures. The final restoration is custom-made to match your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Dental Implant Aftercare and Maintenance
After completing the dental implant procedure, it is essential to maintain proper oral hygiene and care for your implants to ensure their longevity. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. Our dental implant team will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your needs.

FAQs
Everyone with good oral health and general health conditions, with no medical contraindications for surgery, is a good candidate for dental implants. Our dental experts will assess the implant site using X-rays to evaluate the bone quality and quantity at the suggested implant site.
Dental implants can restore a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, and full arch rehabilitation. The final restoration can be a single crown, dental bridge, or an implant supported denture.
Following tooth extraction, severe bone loss occurs because the bone is not stimulated anymore. It is better to proceed with dental implant restoration as soon as possible to avoid bone loss.
Dental implant placement requires surgery under local anesthesia. The jaw bone at the intended implant site is exposed and drilled to fit the dental implant. A temporary restoration may be used to restore your function and esthetics until the final restoration is constructed.
Dental implant placement surgery is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during surgery. You may experience minimal discomfort in the few days following surgery that can be managed through the prescribed painkillers after surgery.
The dental implants are inserted surgically, and then a waiting period of 3-4 months is required before final restoration placement. This period is essential for complete healing or osseointegration between dental implants and jawbone.
One of the main requirements for successful implant placement is sufficient bone quality and quantity. If the bone at the suggested implant site is deficient, an additional bone graft procedure will be necessary.
Dental implants are the most durable solution for missing teeth restoration. They may last for a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Dental implants are easy to care for. It is essential to keep regular oral hygiene measures through daily brushing and flossing, in addition to scheduling regular oral hygiene and checkup visits.
Dental implant costs depend on the required number of dental implants. Consult our implant experts to learn more about the ideal number of dental implants for you. Contact your dental insurance provider to check if your insurance plan covers dental implants.
