A dental implant is a surgical procedure that involves placing a metal implant, typically
made of titanium, into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. After the bone
heals around the implant, a custom-made crown is attached, giving the restoration both an
aesthetic and functional appearance similar to natural teeth.

• Natural Appearance and Enhanced Functionality: Implants restore the
  natural look of your teeth, boosting your self-confidence.
•  Long-Lasting Durability: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
• Oral Health Protection: Implants help preserve the jawbone structure and prevent bone loss, unlike traditional bridges that may require modifying neighboring teeth.
• Comfort and Ease in Speaking and Eating: Implants offer more stability
  compared to removable dentures, making eating and speaking easier.

If you are suffering from missing teeth and are looking for a permanent solution, dental
implants may be the perfect choice for you. However, it is essential to consult with a specialist to evaluate your health condition and suitability for the procedure.

Unlike dentures or traditional bridges, dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, offering superior stability and a more natural feel. While dentures may slip or require adhesives, implants function just like natural teeth and do not affect adjacent healthy teeth. Additionally, implants prevent bone loss in the jaw, which often occurs with missing teeth or long-term denture use.

The implant placement procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, making it virtually painless during surgery. Patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling afterward, which is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients report that the discomfort is less than they expected and comparable to that of a simple tooth extraction.

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density, healthy gums, and are free from uncontrolled chronic conditions such as diabetes or periodontal disease. A thorough consultation and digital imaging will help our dental team determine the best treatment approach for your needs.

After the procedure, it is normal to experience some swelling, minor bleeding, or soreness in the implant area. Patients should follow post-operative instructions carefully, including taking prescribed antibiotics, avoiding hard foods, and maintaining excellent oral hygiene. A follow-up visit will ensure proper healing. Full integration of the implant with the bone may take several months, during which temporary restorations may be used.

The full dental implant process can vary depending on the patient’s oral health and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are needed. Typically, it involves an initial consultation, implant placement, a healing period of 3–6 months for osseointegration, and finally the attachment of the dental crown. In some cases, immediate-load implants (same-day implants) may be an option.
