Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a reliable, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. This advanced procedure involves surgically embedding titanium posts into the jawbone, mimicking natural tooth roots. The implants provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, delivering a natural look, feel, and performance.

Initial Consultation and X-rays: Every dental implant journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. During this stage, your dentist conducts a detailed examination and uses advanced imaging, such as X-rays or 3D scans, to assess your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for implants. Factors like bone density, gum health, and overall medical history are carefully reviewed to ensure successful treatment planning.

Implant Placement: The implant placement procedure involves surgically inserting titanium posts into the jawbone. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning it integrates naturally with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration. This step creates a secure, durable foundation that mimics natural tooth roots, providing stability for the final restoration. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation for maximum comfort.

Implant Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, the restoration process begins. Custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to the implants, completing the transformation. These restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a lifelike appearance and restored functionality for chewing and speaking.

Bone Grafting (if needed): For patients with insufficient bone density in the jaw, bone grafting may be necessary to prepare the site for implants. This procedure involves adding bone material to strengthen and rebuild the jawbone, creating a stable base for the implant. Bone grafting enhances the success rate of dental implants, making them an option for more patients.
