What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots implanted into the jawbone to support prosthetic teeth. They are a popular solution for individuals who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are fixed in place and function like natural teeth, offering durability and comfort.

The Dental Implant Process

Understanding the dental implant process is crucial for prospective patients. Here's what you can expect when opting for implants at our centre:

1. Initial Consultation

During your initial visit, our team will conduct a thorough examination. This may include digital X-rays and 3D imaging to assess your oral health and determine the condition of your jawbone. We will discuss your medical history, goals, and expectations.

2. Treatment Planning

After the assessment, we will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will outline the steps involved, potential risks and benefits, and the expected timeline for your implant journey.

3. Implant Placement Surgery

The next step involves the surgical placement of the titanium implant into your jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Over the following months, the implant will naturally bond with the bone in a process called osseointegration.

4. Abutment Placement

Once osseointegration is successful, an abutment (connector) will be placed on the implant. This small piece extends above the gum line and serves as a foundation for the crown.

5. Crown Placement

Finally, a custom-made crown is fabricated to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. The crown is securely placed on the abutment, completing your implant procedure. You will leave our Centre for Implant Dentistry with a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants come with numerous benefits that can significantly enhance your quality of life. Here are some key advantages:

• Natural Appearance: Implants closely resemble natural teeth, enhancing your smile's aesthetics.
• Improved Functionality: Enjoy the ability to chew and speak with confidence, as implants restore full dental function.
• Long-Term Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
• Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing deterioration that typically occurs after tooth loss.
• Convenience: Unlike dentures, implants eliminate the need for messy adhesives and nightly removals.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Post-procedure care is essential for the longevity of your implants. Here are some tips for aftercare and maintenance:

• Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule routine visits for professional cleanings and assessments of your oral health.
• Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily, using non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
• Avoid Hard Foods: During the healing process, avoid hard or sticky foods that may damage your implants.
• Quit Smoking: Smoking can adversely affect oral healing and implant success; consider quitting for your overall health.

Success Rates and Longevity of Implants

The success rates of dental implants are remarkably high, ranging from 95% to 98% depending on various factors, including the patient's health, habits, and adherence to aftercare. With proper maintenance and care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a reliable solution for tooth loss.
