Dental implants are titanium screws surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gums. Acting as artificial tooth roots, they provide a sturdy foundation for the replacement of teeth or bridges. These implants fuse with the jawbone over time, creating a stable base for artificial teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, which sit on the gum line or are anchored to adjacent teeth, implants integrate with the jawbone, providing stability and mimicking the natural tooth structure.
The
procedure:
1. Consultation: The dental
professional will do a thorough clinical evaluation along with some 3D x-rays
like CBCT, to find if you are an ideal candidate for implant or not, and will
further do the implant placement planning accordingly.
2. Implant Placement: Under local anesthesia
dental implant is placed in the jaw bone.
3. Healing Phase: After the surgical
implant placement in the jaw bone, approx. 4 to 6 months of healing period is
required for the osteointegration process of the implant with the bone.
4. Prosthesis: After the implant is
completely healed inside the jaw bone, a prosthesis like crown, bridge or implant-supported denture is restored on implants along with abutments, as per
requirement.
