Dental Implants

A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth.

Once the implant integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration), it serves as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

About Implants

Types of Dental Implants

There are several different types of dental implants, of which the following are the most popular ones:

  • Endosteal Implants: Placed directly into the jawbone; the most common type.
  • Subperiosteal Implants: Positioned under the gum but above the jawbone; ideal for those with insufficient bone structure.

Benefits of dental implants:

A missing tooth can cause a lot of problems in the long run, including difficulty in chewing. Pressure on neighbouring teeth can misalign the bite. While dental implants can offer you:

  • Durability: Long-lasting solution when properly cared for.
  • Natural appearance: Mimics the look and feel of real teeth.
  • Improved functionality: Restores chewing and speaking ability.
  • Bone health: Prevents bone loss by stimulating the jawbone.
  • Convenience: No need for adhesives or removal like with dentures.

Alternatives to dental implants

  • Dentures: Removable options for missing teeth.
  • Bridges: Fixed prosthetic teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth.

The dentist conducts a detailed assessment of your oral health to decide which option is best for you, which includes:

  • X-rays or CT scans: To evaluate jawbone density and structure.
  • Oral Examination: To assess the condition of your gums, existing teeth, and overall mouth health.

Contraindications for dental implants:

Dental implants may not be suitable for individuals with:

  • Insufficient jawbone (without bone grafting).
  • Uncontrolled diabetes.
  • Active gum disease.
  • Heavy smoking habits.
  • Certain medications or medical conditions (e.g., osteoporosis).
