Dental Implant is the optimal choice for those seeking permanent replacement teeth. This method involves replacing tooth roots with titanium screws and fitting artificial teeth that closely mimic the appearance and functionality of natural teeth.

Suitable for

  • Patients with one or more missing teeth.
  • Patients with sufficient bone to secure the implants or who can undergo a bone graft.
  • Patients who are unable or unwilling to wear dentures.
  • Patients with healthy oral tissues.

Treatment Process

  • The duration of the surgery to place a dental implant typically spans a few hours, though this can vary depending on the patient and the area being treated.
  •  Following implant placement, approximately three to four months of healing time is generally required for the implant to integrate fully with the bone.
  • If bone grafting is necessary during or before the implant surgery, it may take several months for the transplanted bone to grow sufficiently to support the implant.
  • Once the implant has successfully integrated and the area has healed, the process of restoration can commence

Recovery Time

  • Short-term: The healing of the operation area and oral mucosa typically requires approximately one week.
  • Long-term: It generally takes about two months for the implant to fully integrate with your bone.

After Care

Aftercare for a Dental Implant Procedure:

After the dental implant procedure, it’s common to experience some discomfort. This can include swelling of your gums and face, bruising of your skin and gums, pain at the implant site, and minor bleeding. Here are the recommended steps for aftercare:

  1. Bleeding Management: It’s typical to experience some bleeding after the surgery. Apply sterile gauze to the implant site for the first 30 minutes following the operation to manage this.
  2. Medication: You may be prescribed pain medications or antibiotics to prevent infection and manage discomfort.
  3. Monitoring Symptoms: If swelling, pain, or any other symptoms worsen in the days following the surgery, it’s important to contact your oral surgeon immediately.
  4. Physical Activity: Avoid strenuous physical activities that could increase bleeding or disturb the implant site during the initial healing period.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and effective healing after your dental implant surgery.

Implant Dentistry is the best option for someone who is looking for fixed replacement teeth. Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with a titanium screw and replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones.

FAQ

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots crafted from biocompatible materials, most commonly titanium. These implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone, providing a stable base for replacement teeth or dental prostheses. This foundation allows for secure support and stability, mimicking the natural function and appearance of real teeth.

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants function by integrating with the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration. During this process, the implant fuses with the bone, forming a strong and stable foundation for attaching an artificial tooth or dental prosthesis. This integration not only supports the artificial structure but also helps to restore the appearance and functionality of a natural tooth, making dental implants a highly effective solution for tooth replacement.
