Dental Implants

The Next Best Thing to Natural Teeth.

Dental Implants

In the past, patients who lost their teeth had to settle for dentures or bridges to fill the gaps. At certain times the dentures would get loose and speaking or eating gets hard. These basic tooth replacement options also cannot stop the bone loss in the area where there tooth was previously extracted. Recent development in dentistry can now offer an advanced solution, where the missing teeth can be replaced  with Dental Implant to offer a fixed and permanent replacement.

The Biggest advantage of Dental Implants is that it replaces the missing root as well and not just the visible part of the tooth.

What is Dental Implant?

 A Dental implant is an artificial root which is placed into the bone where the tooth is missing to support your new teeth. The implant is made of titanium which integrates with the bone.  And a new crown or dentures can then be cemented or attached with screws over the implant. 

Advantages of Dental Implants Over Bridges?

  • Dental Implants Look Feel and Function just like natural teeth.
  • Dental Implants replace not only the visible portion of tooth but also the root as well.
  • Dental implants are supported by the bone just like natural teeth and not by adjacent teeth.
  • Dental implants help to prevent bone loss in the are of missing teeth.
  • For a single missing teeth, a bridge will give you usually 3 artificial teeth. The adjacent teeth are capped to provide support. 
  • Since Dental Implants is self supported by bone, it does not require grinding of the adjacent teeth for support.
  • Since Dental Implant is self supported and not joint to adjacent teeth, it functions just like natural tooth.
  • It is easier to clean and floss around a dental implant.
  • Dental Implant turn out to be more economical option in the long term.
