Your Smile, Your Confidence: Reclaiming Your Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
A missing tooth, whether in the upper or lower jaw, is often the first thing others notice when we smile. The uneasiness and self-consciousness it can bring are undeniable. Traditional solutions, such as dentures or bridges, might require the removal of healthy dental structure, making the choice even more challenging.
But there’s a remarkable alternative – Dental Implants.
For those grappling with fractured or missing teeth, dental implants represent the pinnacle of dental care. They eliminate the need for removable options like dentures or bridges, offering a permanent, natural-looking solution that blends seamlessly with your smile.
At Dr. Ishita’s Dental Clinic and Implants Centre in Viman Nagar, Pune, we take immense pride in providing the finest dental implant services. Dr. Ishita Jakhanwal, a distinguished Prosthodontist and Implantologist, leads our team. With her extensive experience and unwavering commitment to excellence, she ensures that every dental implant procedure meets global standards.
Types of Dental Implants:
- Endosteal Implants: These are the most common type of dental implants and are placed directly into the jawbone. They resemble small screws and serve as sturdy anchors for artificial teeth.
- Subperiosteal Implants: In cases where the jawbone may not have sufficient depth or density, subperiosteal implants are placed beneath the gum tissue but above the jawbone. These are a viable option for individuals who may not be candidates for endosteal implants.
Dental Implant Procedure:
The dental implant procedure typically involves several phases:
-
Initial Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
-
Implant Placement: During this surgical phase, the implant is carefully placed into the jawbone. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
-
Abutment Placement: After osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as a connector for the artificial tooth.
-
Crown or Prosthesis Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is affixed to the abutment, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement tooth or teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Durability: Dental implants are designed to be long-lasting, often lasting a lifetime with proper care.
- Functionality: They restore full chewing capacity, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
- Aesthetics: Implants look and feel like natural teeth, preserving your smile’s beauty.
- Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, implants don’t require the alteration of adjacent teeth, preserving overall oral health.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate jawbone growth, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials like titanium. They are surgically placed in the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time. Once integrated, they serve as a stable foundation for artificial teeth.
Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
Most people with good oral and general health are candidates for dental implants. Your dentist will assess your specific situation during a consultation to determine your eligibility.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during it. Some discomfort and mild swelling can occur afterward, but it’s manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The entire process can span several months to a year, depending on individual healing times. It includes initial consultation, implant placement, osseointegration (bone fusion), abutment placement, and crown or prosthesis attachment.
Are dental implants expensive?
While dental implants may have a higher upfront cost than other tooth replacement options, they are a long-term investment in oral health and aesthetics. The cost can vary depending on factors such as the number of implants needed and any necessary additional procedures.
Do dental implants require special care?
Dental implants should be cared for like natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain oral health and the longevity of the implants.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, often exceeding 95%. Success depends on factors like the patient’s overall health, proper oral hygiene, and adherence to post-operative instructions.
Can I get dental implants if I've had gum disease or bone loss?
Gum disease and bone loss can impact the eligibility for dental implants. However, in some cases, bone grafting or other procedures can be done to prepare the area for successful implant placement. Consult with a dentist or oral surgeon to explore your options.
