A Lasting Solution for Tooth Replacement
Dental implants provide a secure and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement, designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. With the use of titanium posts that bond to the jawbone, implants restore both aesthetics and functionality, supporting a confident smile.
- Missing Teeth: Restores one or more lost teeth with a natural appearance.
- Bone Loss Prevention: Stimulates the jawbone, preventing bone deterioration that often occurs with missing teeth.
- Support for Dentures or Bridges: Offers stability for other dental appliances, reducing slippage.
Types of Dental Implant Procedures:
- Single Tooth Implants: Replaces a single missing tooth with an implant-supported crown.
- Multiple Implants: Secures multiple teeth with implants supporting a bridge.
- All-on-4 Implants: A full arch restoration using four strategically placed implants to support a complete denture.
Benefits:
- Improved Functionality: Restores full chewing and speaking capabilities.
- Natural Look and Feel: Mimics natural teeth, enhancing appearance and comfort.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, providing a stable and reliable replacement.
Recovery and Aftercare:
- Dietary Adjustments: Soft foods are recommended initially to allow the implant to heal undisturbed.
- Oral Hygiene Maintenance: Regular brushing and flossing are essential to keep implants and surrounding tissue healthy.
- Routine Check-Ups: Follow-up appointments help monitor the stability and longevity of the implant.
Dental Implant Healing Stages
The dental implant healing process progresses through several critical stages, from implant placement to full integration with the jawbone. Adhering to dietary guidelines and attending follow-up visits are essential to ensure successful osseointegration and stability.
| Stage | Description of Process | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Surgical Implant Placement | The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. | 1-2 hours |
| Initial Recovery | Swelling and soreness may occur; patients are advised to follow a soft diet. | 3-7 days |
| Osseointegration | The implant integrates with the surrounding bone, securing it as a stable foundation. | 3-6 months |
| Abutment Placement | The abutment, which supports the crown, is attached to the implant once healing is sufficient. | 1-2 weeks |
| Crown Placement | The final prosthetic crown is attached, completing the restoration for functional use. | 1-2 hours |
