Conventional Implants

Departments: Implantology

Treatment options for replacement of missing teeth are Bridge and full or partial dentures, although they address the short term cosmetic problem of the missing teeth, they do nothing to stop the bone loss in the area of missing teeth.

Bridge requires two or more healthy teeth to be reduced in size to serve as pillars (abutments) for a Bridge, leaving them at a much greater risk for cavities and Root Canal Treatment.

With implants, the healthy teeth are not ground and they transmit the chewing forces to the jaw thereby halting bone loss.

Many leading dental organizations recognize dental implants as the standard of care for tooth replacement.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implant treatment is the replacement of missing tooth roots with supportive posts. It is usually made of titanium and can be used to replace single tooth, several teeth or for the complete reconstruction of a collapsed mouth.

Titanium is the most bio-compatible material we know and once placed, it fuses with the jaw bone in a period of 3-6 Months.

What to expect?

Implant treatment can be carried out in three phases:

1.Treatment planning

2.Implant placement

3.Crown placement

Your doctor will take x-rays and create a model of your existing teeth to determine where and how the implant should be placed.
The implant is then placed in the bone and given a period of time to heal (osseointegrate) before attachment of the crown. In some cases, you can receive a temporary crown the same day. The final crown is usually placed 3-6 months after implant placement.
Maintaining your dental hygiene is the most important role you will have to play for the long-term success of your implant. Your doctor will give you specific instructions for brushing and flossing the area and put you on a regular check-up Cycle. Given proper care, dental implants can give you a lifetime of satisfaction.

Who is a Candidate?

Dental implants can be placed in most adults who are in good to moderate health. Certain uncontrolled medical conditions may decrease the effectiveness of implant treatment, so be sure to discuss your full medical history with your doctor before beginning the treatment.
Every patient is different and patient results may vary. Only a trained dentist can determine the best treatment plan for you.
