Dental Implant is a dental procedure done to replace tooth roots and restore full-teeth appearance with artificial teeth, specially made to match the patient's natural teeth. The treatment helps patients with tooth loss caused by tooth decay, periodontal disease as well as injury. The implants mostly made up of titanium, provide a strong foundation to anchor the tooth to be replaced later on.

The dental implant has a success rate of 98% and can last a lifetime with proper daily care.

Dental implant process would first require the development of an individualized treatment plan. The plan would address the patient's condition and needs as well as an estimated schedule. The procedure works by placing the tooth root made of titanium into the bone socket of the missing tooth and wait for the jawbone to heal before proceeding with the tooth insertion.

The healing of jawbone means the growth of it around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw. The mentioned process can take 2 to 6 months to heal completely.

General Procedure for Dental Implant:

1. Your mouth will be rinsed with an antiseptic. Local anaesthesia will be administered to ensure painless procedure.
2. A microincision will be created in the gum to reveal the jawbone.
3. A specific hole is gradually and gently drilled into the jawbone. The size of the hole depends on the size of the implants.
4. The implant will be tapped into position carefully and gently.
5. Abutments are placed simultaneously with the implants.

Q1: How soon after tooth extraction can I have an implant?
A1: This depends on your dental condition. Sometimes, it is doable to place the implants on the same day as your tooth extraction procedure. But usually, you need to wait for about 3 to 6 months for proper healing before you can have the implant. Too long of a wait is not good too as it may result in loss of bone and causing implant placement more difficult.

Q2: Which is better, implants or bridges?
A2: Implants are permanently positioned while bridges must be replaced every 10 to 15 years. Implants do not put strain on other teeth like bridges do and at the same time can be used to replace more than 1 missing tooth. In a case of a bridge, a healthy adjacent teeth for support is a requirement to place the bridge.

Q3: Can this be done in 1 day?
A3: Yes, it it possible to have this done in 1 day. But it also depends on your dental condition.

Q4: Will I be put to sleep for this procedure?
A4: No, you will usually only be given local anaesthesia.

Q5: Will it work like real tooth?
A5: The only difference between implants and real teeth is that it is not real. Other than that, implants are customized to look, feel, fit and function like all the other teeth.
