If left untreated, it can even result in tooth decay, which can spread and affect the nerves. In such cases, the only option may be to extract the affected tooth and rely on "dental implants."

Why opt for “dental implants”?

Dental implants are artificial teeth replacements that are fixed securely in place. The procedure involves surgically inserting a metal alloy or frame into the jawbone beneath the gums to serve as a substitute for the lost natural tooth root. This method of tooth replacement is efficient, long-lasting, and provides the closest sensation to natural teeth.

Safety with medically approved materials

The materials used for dental implants are typically grade 4 titanium alloy (medical-grade), which has been extensively researched and proven to be safe and compatible with human tissue. It possesses strength, durability, withstands chewing forces, and maintains its shape well. It is a trusted medical material known for its high safety standards.

The three essential components of dental implants

Implant Fixture: Made of titanium, it resembles a tooth root and is implanted into the jawbone. It integrates with the human body and securely attaches to the jawbone without causing inflammation or any side effects.
Abutment: This component connects to the implant fixture to support the dental crown.
Dental Crown: It is the visible part of the tooth replacement. It is typically made of metal or ceramic material and closely resembles a natural tooth in shape and feel.

The process of dental implantation

Step 1: Oral health examination to determine the most suitable treatment. X-rays are taken to assess the bone thickness in the jaw.

Step 2: The surgical procedure involves inserting the titanium implant fixture into the bone, followed by stitching the incision. After 14 days, the stitches are removed.

Step 3: Recovery period. During this time, it is recommended to consume soft foods that aid in the implant’s rapid integration with the jawbone. It takes approximately 3-6 months for upper teeth and 2-3 months for lower teeth to fully integrate and become strong enough for normal use.

Step 4: Dental impressions are taken and sent to the dental laboratory to create the dental crown.

Step 5: The customized dental crown, made from a combination of metal and porcelain or sometimes solely porcelain, is fixed onto the abutment using medical cement or occasionally adhesive.

Advantages of “dental implants”

Enhances the appearance and functionality of teeth, closely resembling natural teeth.
No need to alter adjacent teeth, unlike dental bridges that require the reduction of neighboring teeth.
The implanted roots maintain the stability of the jawbone, preventing bone loss in the vicinity of the missing tooth.
Does not cause bone resorption in the area of the missing tooth.
