Dental Implants

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to the top, creating a stable and long-lasting replacement for the missing tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even support a full set of dentures.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement for several reasons:

  • Natural Appearance: Dental implants look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. The crown is custom-made to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look.
  • Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are made from biocompatible materials that fuse with the jawbone, providing a strong and stable foundation for your new tooth.
  • Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth. This preserves the integrity of your natural teeth and promotes better oral health.
  • Bone Preservation: Dental implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs when a tooth is missing. This helps maintain the natural shape of your face and jawline.
  • Comfort and Convenience: Because they are permanently fixed in place, dental implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures. You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your implants are secure.

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants at Shashikal Clinic involves several steps, each designed to ensure the best possible outcome for your smile:

  • Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dentist will assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment goals. This consultation helps determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants and allows us to create a personalized treatment plan.

  • Implant Placement: The dental implant procedure begins with the surgical placement of the titanium post into the jawbone. This is done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. After placement, the implant will need time to heal and integrate with the bone, a process known as osseointegration, which typically takes several months.

  • Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment (a small connector piece) is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as the base for the new crown.

  • Crown Fabrication and Placement: A custom-made dental crown is then created to fit perfectly on top of the abutment. The crown is designed to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a flawless and natural-looking result. Once the crown is ready, it is securely attached to the abutment.

  • Final Results: With your new dental implant in place, you can enjoy the full function and appearance of a natural tooth. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices will help ensure the longevity of your implant.
