Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

Dental implants specialists, known as Implantologists, can provide you with full mouth rehabilitation with dental implants. Dental tooth implants are the most effective way of combating the negative effects of lost or damaged teeth.

Dental implants are placed on artificial tooth roots within your jawbone and replace your missing tooth root. They are custom made to suit your particular oral situation, offering a range of options for perfect compatibility. Implants are designed to replicate and feel completely natural, whilst being fully functional and preventing further tooth decay or trauma to the mouth.




Titanium dental implants biocompatible materials offer durability and strength for long lasting functionality. Dental tooth implants can also prevent the repositioning of the underlying bone, which maintains your gum tissue and facial support. Most people would agree that the main benefit of a dental implant treatment comes from the permanent solution they provide to missing teeth, whilst looking and acting like your natural teeth.




Although there are a number of restorative options for replacing missing teeth, none have proven to be as functional and highly effective as dental implants. Regardless of the nature of the problem related with tooth loss, a dental implant specialist can provide a simple solution with proven results. The durability and the strength of the dental implant will mean that you have long lasting effects and once again eat and speak with comfort. Let dental implants restore your confidence, by giving you a perfect smile.

There are many advantages to dental implants, including:

Improved appearance: 
Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.

Improved speech:
With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your teeth might slip.

Improved comfort:
Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.

Easier eating:
Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite food with confidence and without pain.

Improved self-esteem:
Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.

Improved oral health:
Dental implants don't require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving your long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.

Durability:
Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.

Convenience:
Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing your dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep your dentures in place. 

Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. Many companies provide guarantee for their implant unit from 10 to 15yrs.

In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a dental implant. Patients should have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant. They also must be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Heavy smokers, people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders - such as diabetes or heart disease- or patients who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis. If you are considering implants, talk to your dentist to see if they are right for you.

The first step in the dental implant process is the development of an individualized treatment plan. The plan addresses your specific needs and is prepared by oral implantologist who is specially trained in oral implantology.

Next, the tooth root implant, which is a small post made of titanium, is placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw. The healing process can take from 6 to 12 weeks.

Once the implant has bonded to the jawbone, a small connector post - called an abutment - is attached to the post to securely hold the new tooth. To make your new tooth or teeth, your dentist makes impressions of your teeth, and creates a model of your bite (which captures all of your teeth, their type, and arrangement). Your new tooth or teeth are based on this model. A replacement tooth, called a crown, is then attached to the abutment.

Instead of one or more individual crowns, some patients may have attachments placed on the implant that retain and support a removable denture.

Your dentist also will match the color of your new teeth to your natural teeth. Because the implant is secured within the jawbone, the replacement teeth look, feel, and function just like your own natural teeth.

Most people who have received dental implants say that there is very little discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the procedure, and most patients report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction.

After the dental implant, mild soreness can be treated with pain medications.

Dental implants require the same care as real teeth, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
