Dental implants are titanium posts inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth, offering a stable foundation and aesthetic benefits. They help prevent complications such as bite changes, jaw discomfort, and tooth decay associated with missing teeth. The procedure is recognized by the American Dental Association and involves a healing period for the implant to integrate with the jawbone before crowns, bridges, or dentures are placed.

Dental Implants-Replacement of a missing tooth
What are Implants?
These are highly Biocompatible Titanium posts/ Screws placed directly into the jaw bone which is
designed to create a stable foundation forever. There are 2 parts to a dental implant which stimulate the
strong holding ability of the real tooth root. The main part of the dental implant is embedded in the jaw
bone for an effect that is vastly stronger than the original tooth root. The second part of the dental
implantispostthat protrudesabove the jaw bone andgum that will simulate the toothcrown.
Why replace missing teeth?
 A gap betweenyourteeth,if obviouswhenyousmileorspeakisa cosmeticconcern.
 Missingteethmayaffectyourspeech.
 When a tooth is removed, the biting force on the remaining teeth begins to change& induces more
than usual pressure on them. As the bite changes to compensate for the lost tooth, there is a risk of
extra pressure and discomfort on the jaw joints, which may lead to Tempromandular Disorder also
knownas (TMD)
 If a missing tooth is not replaced the surrounding teeth can shift in their positions. Harmful plaque
and tartar can collect in new hard to reach places created by the shifting teeth. Overtime this may
leadto the toothdecayand periodontal disease.
 Bone losscan occur inthe regionof the missingtooth.
Benefit of Dental Implants
 It can treat casesuntreatable withconventional methodsof dental bridgesanddentures.
 Crown and bridge require two or more healthy teeth are grinded down to serve as abutments
(support) for a bridge. Dental Implants on the other hand avoids cutting down and overloading the
natural teethwithconventional means.
 It givessuperioraestheticresults.
 It prevents further resorption of the jaw bone following tooth loss as dental implants like natural
teeth also transmit chewing forces to the jaw bone which reduces bone loss and prevent primitive
aging.

Most importantly it helps restore a Patient’s self esteem and confidence since it gives the feeling of
regaining the real teeth. INDICATION OF DENTAL IMPLANTS Single Tooth Implant:-It is a free standing
unit and does not involve treatment to adjacent teeth thereby maintaining their strength and integrity.
Dental implants may be used to support a bridge when several teeth are missing. An implant supported
bridge does not require support from adjacent teeth. If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant
supported Denture can replace the missing teeth and some of the tooth roots. Since the dental implants
integrate with the jaw bone, an implant supported denture tends to be more stable as there is no
problemof slippage and discomfort.
What are the procedures involved?
The surgery can commence after thorough diagnosis and treatment planning. A recipient site of the
same size and shape as the implant is created in the jaw bone with drilling instruments. The implant is
inserted into the site prepared. Usually a healing period of 3 to 6 months is required for the jaw bone to
fuse &integrate with the implant. The jaw bone has different densities in different areas, the denser the
bone the shorter the healing period: After this healing period the Crowns, Bridges or Dentures are
constructed over the implant and the treatment is completed. Lower Moral In the case of a complicated

and number of implants to be placed. It is usually done under local anesthesia and is not painful. Post
placement your dentist may prescribe you with medications to take care of any discomfort if any.
