Dental (Implants)
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. They can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth or the entire set which closely mimic the natural dentition. They make it possible for people who cannot wear a conventional denture to have very firm, stable and attractive teeth. It is usually made of titanium which is a biocompatible material.
If you have a single tooth missing, one implant and a crown can replace it. A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth.
Steps in your Implant surgery
Dental implant treatment can take 3-6 months from start to end and follows four primary steps after initial assessment and 3D imaging of your jaw bone.
Step 1: The implants are placed under local anesthesia and sutures are placed after this, it will take 3-6 months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration).
Step 2: In the next appointment after osseointegration, your dentist places abutment. The abutment is a seat on which the final crown/cap will be cemented or screwed. After this step, you will be able to see a metal (abutment) in the place of the missing tooth.
Step 3: Once the gum tissue is healed, the impression is made for measurement and designing of crown/cap and send to the lab for fabrication.
Benefits of dental implants

If you have several teeth missing, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots. Since Implant-supported bridges will replace some of your tooth roots, your bone is better preserved. With a fixed bridge or removable partial denture, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth root may begin to resorb (deteriorate) over a period of time.
