Dental Implants
What is a dental
implant?
 A precision-made
titanium screw that is anchored into your jawbone where it
serves as post for a custom-made tooth crown. Once integrated
into the bone implants are the most reliable and predictable
form of restoration for missing teeth.
Dental Implants
Benefits:
Stronger, more durable and have a much higher success rate than
traditional bridges and dentures.
Proven to prevent bone loss and avoid further damage to your
remaining natural teeth.
Comfort and convenience.
Indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Eat the foods you love.
Dental Implant Procedure:
The implant procedure takes place over two sittings. First a
titanium thread is inserted into the cavity left by your removed
tooth. Three to six months later - after your implant
successfully anchors in your jaw a beautiful custom crown will
be placed.
Dental Implant;
Single Tooth Restoration
Now you can have an implant instead of a bridge
Years ago if you lost a single tooth, a fixed bridge was your
only option. The teeth on each side of the missing tooth were
ground down and prepared for crowns, the missing tooth was
connected to the crowns and the fixed bridge was cemented to
place. Now, thanks to advances in modern dentistry, a dental
implant may be the best, strongest and simplest way for you to
replace that missing tooth. The teeth on each side of the space
no longer need to be destructed and prepared for crowns. The
implant looks, feels and functions like the natural tooth it
replaces. Dental
Implants; Multiple Teeth and Bridges
Just as with one missing tooth, several missing teeth can be
easily treated with dental implants. Implant supported teeth are
permanently fixed in the mouth, unlike removable appliances like
dentures. They dont slip or click, and there is no worry about
them moving or falling out when speaking, eating, or
participating in activities. And because dental implants are
placed directly into the bone, they help preserve the jawbone
and prevent bone deterioration.
The implants are placed in the bone below the gum tissue acting
as anchors or posts for a custom-made bridge that will match
your existing teeth. After osseointegration of the implants is
complete, multiple crowns or a custom bridge is cemented onto
the abutments. Remember, dental implants halt bone loss and help
preserve your remaining healthy teeth.
Dental Implants for Dentures
You will be able to
smile, sing and speak better! You will look better as dental
implants prevent the onset of poor facial profile due to loss of
bone mass in your jaw bone. You can also partake in physical
activities without fear of losing your dentures! You will be
able to eat an apple, raw carrots, corn on the cob; foods you
have probably avoided for years.
In an international study of elderly patients, 6 months after
receiving dental implants they had increased their body fat and
blood tests recorded significantly higher levels of albumin,
hemoglobin (Iron) and vitamin B12 all indicators of nutrition.
Guided Implant
Surgery - A New Dimension In Surgical Precision
Accomplishing predictable prosthetic, aesthetic and functional
results for single or multiple tooth replacement with dental
implants is challenging. As dental implants become an
increasingly viable treatment option for replacing single and or
multiple missing teeth or full arch restorations, As a
consequence, pre-operative diagnostics are considered to be the
foundation of a precise as well as a restoration driven implant
placement.
Guided surgery
technology is helping to improve clinical confidence in dental
implant therapy. This technology uses a digital x-ray combined
with specialized software that helps the dentist to visualize
and plan the placement of a dental implants in three dimensions
,This eliminates the guesswork involved determining what parts
of the jawbone offer the best sites for dental implant
placement.
Furthermore, many
clinicians also use a surgical drilling template that is
manufactured based on the digital x-ray of the patient's mouth.
The drilling template is used during dental implant placement
and allows dentists to know exactly where they need to place the
dental implant. Hence, guided implant surgery may also be
considered as a next level in quality assurance and provides
greater patient satisfaction and simplifies the dental implant
treatment process.
Benefits of Guided Surgery Approach:
A. Minimally
invasive
Guided surgery technologies helps to remove some of the
uncertainties and risks associated with a dental implant
procedure
No Significant Pain or Swelling
Complete flapless and suture less surgery
It can be safely performed in high risk patients such as those
with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension,
patients on drugs like antiplatelets, anticoagulants, advanced
age etc.
B. Faster recovery
Greatly Reduced Healing Time
Immediately back to social life
Long term comfort & satisfaction
C. Extreme accuracy
Optimal implant size and orientation can be significantly
aided by a cross-sectional, three dimensional radiographic exam
that allows the dentist to completely visualize the patient's
anatomy pre-implant placement.
Furthermore, the
complementary use of radiographic guides, designed based on
restorative principles, reveals the precise illustration of the
bone- implant-prosthesis relationship.
Pre- planned guided surgery
Reduced chair time and repeat appointments
No Temporaries
Immediate restoration protocol
Reduces morbidity.
Teeth in an Hour- Not Months
Teeth-in-an-Hour is a new dental implant surgery system that
streamlines the treatment process and provides the patient with
permanent teeth in record time. The system incorporates the
magic of CT Scans and 3-D imaging software to accurately assess
bone structure, map out the areas of best integrity, and create
a permanent prosthesis prior to surgery. This revolutionary
system offers a more accurate and safer positioning of dental
implants and provides the patient with permanent teeth in about
an hour.
Before the
development of immediate load implants, the main disadvantage
with dental implants (except of their high cost) was that you
had to wait for several months after the surgical placement of
the implants before you get the final restorations. This waiting
period can be from 2 to 6 months or even more depending on the
condition of the jawbone and the position of the implant.
Teeth-in-an-hour is a technique that can reduce dramatically the
time of the implant treatment. With Teeth-in-an-hour it is now
possible to have dental implants and new, fully functioning
teeth in the same appointment. The actual surgery may last just
one hour but the method requires also a very important
preparation phase that can range from 2 to 4 weeks.
Teeth in an Hour allows the possibility to provide patients
fixed, well-functioning, and esthetic prostheses on implants in
less than an hour. The treatment allows for a great experience
for the patient with greatly reduced healing time, no
temporaries and no significant pain or swelling.
