An Implant is a small titanium screw-like fixture that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth
The Implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw. After the placement, the implant has to fuse with the bone (titanium is one of the best materials to integrate with natural bone) which can take a couple of weeks.
Treatment time will depend on your situation. It is possible to get well functioning and esthetic looking teeth within a few days. At the Final stage you will get brand-new teeth which are strong and similar to natural teeth.
Dental
implants can be
used to replace a single
lost tooth or a number.
Implant supported replacement
teeth look, feel and
function like natural
teeth, they preserve
the integrity of a facial
structure and improve
the look and function
of a jaw. Once the screw-like
fixture is safe, a dentist
will screw in an actual dental
implant that is
made to look and replace
natural tooth. An Implant will be placed either on the lower or upper jaw. A successful implant will resemble and function as your natural teeth.
Basically anyone who
is missing one or more
of their teeth due to
injury, disease, or
decay may be a candidate
for dental implants.
Dental implants can be placed due to many reasons such as :
- Injury
- decay or
- Gum diseases
Types of Implants :
- Single tooth Implant
- Multiple teeth Implant
- Full Jaw fixed Bridge on Implants
- Implant supported Removable Denture
The rule of thumb is that if you’re healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you’re probably healthy enough to receive dental implants.
Types of Anesthesia which can be used :
- Local Anesthetics
- General Anesthetics

There may be some discomfort after the procedure but this is usually be minimal and can be significantly reduced – or eliminated – with a help of painkillers.
If you decide to go ahead with the implants you should know that advantages of using dental implants for replacing missing teeth are the following:
- First of all, bone loss is stopped when implants are placed and they can’t be damaged by decay.
- The success rate is quite high. Dental implant are bio-compatible; they are made out of titanium that fuses with bone, naturally. Implants can stabilize dentures as well and it’s almost impossible to damage them.
- Implants can improve facial appearance as well as dental function such as biting and chewing.

Tooth
loss –what can be
done?
In
the course of life,
teeth can be lost
because of caries,
gum disease , or accidents.
A missing tooth can become noticeable functionally and aesthetically,,
so that our eating
habits and our outward
appearance are impaired.
We would like to have
a dental replacement,
which is an inconspicuous
as possible, and which
should correspond
completely to the
natural model in function
and appearance.
Conventional methods
–and their disadvantages.
Natural
teeth can be replaced
by bridges or dentures.
Disadvantages of wearing Bridge. For bridges. healthy
dental enamel as to
be sacrificed by grinding
the adjacent teeth.
The gap in the row
of teeth is closed
by an intermediate
element; however,
Lost dental root
is not replace, which
has consequences for
the jawbone, because
this will “atrophy”
with time –it lacks
the pressure from
chewing transmitted
by the root, which
normally stimulates
it to constant regeneration.
Disadvantages of wearing dentures
- Dentures lead for the same reason to a disappearance of the bone mass –an inescapable atrophy ,
- Denture has to be constantly corrected.
- Dentures , which often fits poorly and this impairs many who wear dentures greatly in their quality of life;
- In the extreme case, this can go so far that they generally avoid social contact.

Dental
implants –a “natural”
solution.
Advantages of Dental Implants :
Permanent and more effective method of replacing teeth
Provides closure to the gap between teeth
Provides an anchor to the jaw bone
Provides a foundation for the crown
Grinding of the adjustment tooth doesn’t take place when an implant is placed.
Loss of bone tissue by atrophy is prevented. Since implant transmit the chewing force to the jawbone
dental
implants are a secure fixation
method for removable
full dentures and
so spare the patients
the usual disadvantages
of conventional “false
teeth”.
How does
a dental
implant work?
Before implantation, the natural teeth are rehabilitated, and any gum disease is treated and eliminated.
Implants are screwed into the bone which replaces the natural root. It will take 6-8 weeks for the implant to be embedded to the bone.
During the healing phase Dental implants are not covered by soft tissue and further surgical procedure not required when the crown is attached.
Dental implants are made from pure titanium, it is bio compatible no allergic reaction.
Firm anchorage in the bone and harmonious adaptation of the gum margin to the implant body result in a solid foundation for reliable and long-lasting dental substitution.
What conditions
must be met for
implantation?
Adequate bone supply
Good oral hygiene
Normal wound healing capacity
Regular check ups with the dentist.
Continuous care will provide good function over years.
What costs
can be expected?
It depends on each individual case .Therefore Our implantologists will draw up a personal treatment and cost plan.
A highly
elegant method.
Implants are highly recognized world wide as an alternative to other method such as Bride or Dentures. Dental implants have been in use for over 20 years on a scientific basis, and they have been subject to the strictest quality controls in research, development, manufacture, and sales from the start.
