| A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically anchored into your jaw |
| It is impossible to find a person not wanting to have
a bright, perfect and natural looking smile, teeth firmly integrated
in the jaws, ease of eating, talking, and to top it all, laughing
with confidence, in a spirit of self esteem.
It can only be termed unfortunate for a person to lose a tooth
or teeth. The reason could be caries, trauma, periodontal reasons
(gum problems) or congenitally missing one or more teeth. There
are many ways to restore missing teeth such as by Complete Dentures,
Removable Partial Denture, Fixed Partial Denture (Crown & Bridges),
Orthodontic correction or by Dental Implants. |
Implants can also improve your dental health in other ways by:
|
| A dental implant is a titanium implant
that mimics the tooth’s root. It is placed in the jawbone and
behaves as if it were your normal tooth. Dental implants are a
much better treatment option than a dental bridge, and they cost
much less in the long run. The implant does not rely on crowns being
put on healthy adjacent teeth; nor is it limited by how long a span
it can cover. Dental implants are the longest lasting dental restoration
available today |

 |
| What are Dental Implants Used For? |
| There are two basic uses for Dental Implants: 1. As an artificial root for a single tooth replacement. 2. . As anchors for a fixed or removable prosthesis to replace multiple teeth |

| What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants |
| The next best alternative
to your natural teeth, are dental implants. In looks the implants
are as good as your natural teeth. One important benefit of implants
is that they slow the shrinking of bone and gum tissue from the area
of the missing tooth, thus preventing premature aging.
• Of people between the ages of 18 and 65, a greater percentage |
| Considering a Dental Implant? |
| If you are considering a dental implant, contact our
office for an evaluation appointment. The oral surgeon on our panel
will perform an evaluation to determine whether you are a good candidate
for a dental implant. Generally, if your jawbone ridges are in good
shape with healthy oral tissues, you are a good candidate for implants.
If you are declared a good candidate for an implant, the chosen dentist
will provide you with further information to help you decide.
Implant placement is a minimal invasive, atraumatic and painless procedure that is done under local anesthesia in a normal dental chair unit. The procedure doesn’t take much time and there are no restrictions in maintaining stress less routine activities. The picture below is a good example of permanently implanting a synthetic tooth to fill a gap, while tooth-coloured fillings substantially improve the aesthetics of your smile. |

| Similarly wearing a complete denture (C.D.) puts the
patients through a long learning curve on how to keep the dentures
in the mouth. The denture have a rocking tendency due to tongue movements
and it is very difficult when there are resorbed ridges. |
