Dental Implants

A dental implant is basically a replacement for your missing tooth, that is placed in the jawbone or skull to support a dental prosthesis like a crown, bridge, or denture. In situations when the absence of natural tooth roots prevents the construction of dentures or fixed bridges, dental implant surgery can provide a welcome alternative to ill-fitting dentures or bridgework.

How does an implant integrate with the bone?

The biological process of osseointegration serves as the foundation for contemporary dental implants, causing materials like titanium or zirconia to develop a close link with bone. Before a dental prosthetic is inserted, the implant fixture is first positioned to maximize its chance of osseointegration. Before the dental prosthetic is linked to the implant or an abutment is placed to support a dental prosthetic/crown.

How would I know if I am a candidate for implants?

You must have a consultation with us, to establish whether implants are the best option for you. Our staff will thoroughly inspect your teeth, gums, and bone density and amount during this session. In order to make sure there is enough bone structure for inserting the implant(s) and to pinpoint exactly where they should be placed, this may require using X-rays and computer tomography scans (CBCT)

We will provide you with advice on the best course of treatment based on the state of your oral tissues, your personal habits and oral hygiene routines, and your willingness to adhere to aftercare guidelines.

Before considering implantation, any underlying oral health problems must be treated. Common problems like tooth decay and gum disease might reduce the efficacy of treatment.

You should stop smoking if you currently do so because smokers have a higher failure rate than non-smokers. Smoking can have an impact on the process by which dental implant anchors to the jaw bone, known as osseointegration.

Your personalized treatment can start as soon as we determine that your mouth is healthy enough.

The following are specific steps in the process:

1. Getting the Jaw Ready for Implant: A titanium screw and a crown are the most frequent components of a dental implant and its restoration. For the titanium implant fixture to be guided into place at edentulous (toothless) jaw locations, a small-diameter hole known as a “pilot hole” is first bored. When inserting the implants, we frequently use surgical guides made based on the CT images.
2. Placement: After drilling the initial pilot hole at the proper jaw site, it is gradually expanded to provide room for the implant screw. Once the implant is in position, the gum tissue around it is fastened over it. A cover screw serves as protection while osseointegration takes place. We usually reveal the implant and insert an abutment following up to three months of recuperation (which holds the crown or tooth-like replacement). The abutment could occasionally be fastened during the initial process. We will construct a temporary or final crown when the abutment is set up. The final crown may occasionally be created the same day the abutment is inserted.
3. If necessary, the temporary crown acts as a template around which the gum develops and takes on a natural shape. When the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent one, the procedure is over.

Recovery, Aftercare, and Follow-Up

The different treatments necessary to finish your treatment are one of the variables that affect dental implant recovery. But once an implant has been inserted, it is generally acknowledged that upholding strict oral hygiene practices aid in ensuring optimal integration with bone structure.

Failure to brush and floss can result in treatment failure. If the implant and its surroundings are not thoroughly cleaned, an infection could result as well. Smoking should be avoided after implant surgeries as it is also linked to greater failure rates.

Discomfort after the initial surgery should be low. You can experience facial and gum swelling, as well as slight bleeding and bruising at the implant site. You may be recommended prescription painkillers to treat any discomfort or pain you have following the surgery. Your diet following surgery should only consist of soft meals for five to seven days. Sutures if any would be taken out after a week or so. While the fitting and seating of the crowns can take up to two months, the recovery following the surgical operation to put the implants can take up to six months.

Types of Dental Implants

Dental implants are often divided into two categories based on the method of implantation: two-stage or single-stage.

• Two-Stage Implants: In a two-stage operation, the implant is surgically placed in the jaw bone and the gum tissue is closed (sutured). A small surgery is carried out a few months after the wound has healed to attach an abutment and temporary restoration.
• Endosteal (Endosseous) Implants: Used most frequently in two-stage implant procedures, endosteal implants are placed in the jaw bone. Endosteal implants come in a variety of shapes, including screw-type (threaded), cylinder-type (smooth), and bladed-type, and are typically used as an alternative to a bridge or removable denture.
• Single-Stage Dental Implants: In a single stage, a lengthier implant is surgically placed into the jaw such that it is on the jaw bone and that the top of the implant is level with the gum tissue. The gum tissue is then closed, revealing the implant healing cap. As a result, the interim restoration and abutment can be placed after several months of healing without the necessity for a quick operation to reveal the head.
• Subperiosteal Implants: Subperiosteal implants are rarely utilized these days. They are placed on the jaw bone behind the gum tissue, with the metal implant post exposed to hold the restoration. In individuals with insufficient bone height, subperiosteal was mostly employed to secure dentures.
