Implants
Dental implants offer a highly effective solution for enhancing oral health and restoring natural tooth function. As life expectancy continues to increase, many individuals are able to maintain their natural smiles throughout their lifetime through regular dental hygiene practices and preventative care. However, in some cases, tooth loss due to injury or disease may occur.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a synthetic tooth root, typically made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone. This biocompatible material, also used in hip and knee replacements, integrates well with human bone. A replacement tooth is then affixed to this implant post, either permanently or as a removable prosthetic. Permanent attachments offer superior stability and a more natural feel.
Single or Multiple Implants?
Dental implants offer versatility in tooth replacement solutions. For a single missing tooth, one implant with a crown suffices. In cases of multiple adjacent missing teeth, strategically placed implants can support a permanent bridge. For complete tooth loss, a full bridge or denture can be permanently secured using a calculated number of implants.
Advantages of Dental Implants Over Dentures or Bridges
Dental implants offer significant benefits compared to conventional bridges and dentures. Unlike traditional prosthetics, which are not anchored to the bone and can be unstable, implants provide a secure and natural-feeling solution. This stability enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal, allowing patients to eat and smile with confidence. Implants closely mimic natural teeth in appearance and function, providing a stronger biting force. Additionally, because implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, they preserve the integrity of surrounding natural teeth.
Longevity is another key advantage of dental implants. While bridges typically last 7-10 years (potentially less with root canals), properly maintained implants can last a lifetime. This durability makes implants a cost-effective long-term solution for tooth replacement.
Offering a comprehensive range of dental implant services
Sinus Lift Augmentation – This advanced procedure restores an enlarged sinus cavity and replaces lost bone to prepare for implant placement.
Autogenous Bone Grafting – When the implant site lacks sufficient bone density, this technique transplants bone from another area of the patient’s oral cavity to support the implant, ensuring optimal stability.
Implant Site Development – Utilizing state-of-the-art bone grafting techniques in conjunction with tooth extraction, we meticulously prepare the site for future implant placement, maximizing long-term success rates.
Computer-Enhanced Treatment Planning – Leveraging 3D imaging software, our specialists evaluate high-resolution CT scans to assess bone quality and plan optimal implant placement. We collaborate closely with restorative dentists to ensure seamless integration of the implant with the final restoration.
Implant Maintenance – Post-restoration care is crucial for the longevity of dental implants. Our team develops personalized cleaning schedules and maintenance protocols tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring the continued health and functionality of their implants.
