Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the best option for teeth replacements. You may lose your teeth due to many reasons like gum disease, an injury or dental decay. Dental implants provide the most optimal tooth replacement system for your missing tooth whatever be the reason of tooth loss.

What are Dental Implants

Dental implants act as substitute tooth roots in a unique way. They provide almost the same function as natural teeth roots.
A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root). Your dentist position it into the jaw bone beneath the gum line.
After the recovery period of 2-3 months he mount replacement teeth into that area.
In case of missing teeth implants stabilize bone and prevent the inevitable bone loss.
Dental implant can transfer the stress of biting forces to the bone. Thereby stabilizing the tooth while eating or speaking and preventing it's loss.

Tooth replacement through dental implants

Replacing a Single Tooth

If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it.

Replacing Several Teeth

If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them.

Replacing All Your Teeth

Conventional bridges and dentures are not comfortable or even possible for some people.
It may be due to several reasons like insufficient bone. In these patients implant supported teeth or dentures can be successfully given.
Implant supported dentures help the dentures feel more natural than conventional ones. Because of the secure fit they provide.
