Dental Implants

Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with titanium posts, resembling screws, and substitutes missing or damaged teeth with artificial teeth that look and function like real ones.

Dental implants are the best restorative method for tooth loss, closely mimicking natural teeth in both aesthetics and function.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants provide a solid foundation for replacement teeth, ensuring durability and stability.

They integrate seamlessly with your jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

This integration, known as osseointegration, allows implants to support single crowns, bridges, or even full dentures.

Planning Your Dental Implant Procedure

To determine the best type of implant for your case and plan the treatment effectively, a dental tomography (3D X-ray) is performed.

This imaging provides a detailed view of the anatomical structures related to implant placement, ensuring precise and safe results.

Types of Dental Implants

• Immediate Load Implants: If the bone is deemed strong enough, implants can be placed and loaded with a temporary crown on the same day.

• Two-Stage Implants: In cases where immediate loading isn’t feasible, the implant is placed and left to heal for several months.

  This period allows for osseointegration before the final restoration.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth.

• Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

• Bone Preservation: They prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure.

• Improved Functionality: Implants restore full chewing power and speech clarity.

Post-Procedure Care

After your implant surgery, whether it’s a single or multi-stage process, you may experience typical post-surgery symptoms such as:

• Swelling of gums and face

• Bruising of skin and gums

• Pain at the implant site

• Minor bleeding

To manage these symptoms, you may need pain medications or antibiotics.

If swelling or discomfort worsens, contact your oral surgeon promptly.

Post-surgery, it’s recommended to eat soft foods to aid healing, and sutures typically dissolve on their own.

If not, they will be removed by your doctor.
