What is a dental implant?

A dental implant resembling a tiny titanium screw replaces the lost natural tooth's root. It is possible to implant dental implants in the upper or lower jaw. A dental implant integrates with the bone and is a strong anchor for the new tooth because titanium is biocompatible. One or many lost teeth can be replaced with dental implants.

Types of dental implants.

Single Tooth Replacement

 

Benefits of an all-ceramic crown on implant:

 

When tooth and root are damaged, a dental implant with a ceramic crown is the best permanent replacement. This solution both looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

 

In this case, a so-called one-piece implant is used. This means all components are installed as a single unit, resulting in:

  • Immediate full-functioning teeth
  • Shorter treatment time
  • Minimized pain

 

Treatment:

This procedure usually includes four visits to the dentist. You should expect to be able to work the day after having the implant installed.


Multiple Teeth Replacement

Benefits of fixed bridge on implants:

In this case, when replacing three teeth in the far back of the mouth, a fixed bridge anchored to dental implants is the only selected alternative. Traditional dentures can't offer the same stability or function.

 

Having dental implants replace your lost back teeth will give you new, unparalleled strength and stability, allowing you to eat what you want. It will also preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.

 

  • The only fixed alternative in this situation.
  • A stable, secure solution that lets you eat what you want
  • Preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss

 

Treatment:

After the initial examination, you can expect 4-5 additional visits until the final fixed bridge is permanently attached. It is normal to experience some minor bruising and swelling in the gum and soft tissue afterward. Any discomfort is usually treated with an ordinary painkiller. You should be able to work the next day.


Full Arch Replacement

Benefits of a fixed bridge on implants

 

When all teeth are missing or in such condition that they need to be replaced, a fixed bridge anchored to dental implants is the best permanent solution

 

Before dental implants, no fixed solution was available for people who lost all their teeth. Today, it is possible to replace an entire jaw with dental implants and a fixed bridge, resulting in a permanent, stable, and high esthetic solution.

 

  • Let’s you eat and function like having natural teeth
  • A solid, stable solution that will serve you for life
  • Preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss

 

Treatment:

The treatment procedure and the number of visits depend on the specific conditions. But all in all, 8-10 visits should be enough to install a fixed bridge. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated.
