Implant Dentistry

Implant Dentistry is a specialized field dedicated to the restoration and replacement of missing teeth using dental implants. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots typically made of titanium, which are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants serve as a sturdy foundation for attaching artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess the patient’s oral health and determine the suitability for implants. Advanced imaging techniques, like 3D scans, may be used for precise planning. Skilled dental professionals, including oral surgeons or periodontitis, perform the surgical placement of implants into the jawbone.

Once the implants integrate with the bone through a process called Osseo integration, which usually takes a few months, the prosthetic teeth are custom-made and attached to the implants. This results in a secure and natural-looking restoration that enhances both function and aesthetics.

Implant dentistry offers several advantages, including improved stability compared to traditional dentures, preservation of surrounding natural teeth, and the prevention of bone loss in the jaw. It has become a widely accepted and successful solution for individuals seeking a long-term and reliable option to replace missing teeth.
