Dental Implants India




dental implant is an artificial root that is implanted to a person’s jaw to replace a missing tooth. A replacement tooth is then placed on the artificial root, which mirrors the look and feel of a tooth. It is the most advanced method of replacing missing tooth / teeth. It is relatively more expensive too.

Apart from replacing missing teeth, dental implants are also used in stabilizing loose dentures and also for taking support / anchorage in orthodontic treatment. Modified dental implants are also being recently used for supporting prostheses (eye, ear, nose etc.) after surgical procedures, wherever they are indicated.

Dental implant procedure are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. They look and feel very natural such that you may even forget about your loss of tooth/teeth. If you have one or more teeth missing and wish to eat your favorite foods, increase your chewing ability, and improve your appearance, speech, and self-esteem, then you are a candidate for dental implants.
The American Dental Association considers two types of implants to be safe. They are:
  • Endosteal implants — these are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post-individually, or grouped on a bridge or denture.
  • Subperiosteal implants — these consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. As with Endosteal implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.
These high-tech prostheses are actually more tooth saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
