1) What are Dental Implants?

An implant is a titanium screw-like structure. It is anchored into the jaw bones and functions like a natural tooth.

It heals and fuses with the adjacent bone which takes about 3-4 months. After this healing process is over, a tooth-like crown, bridge, or denture is then made over the implant.

Dental implants can replace a single tooth (single implant) or many teeth.

2) Who can benefit from Dental Implants?

  • Patients who have missing teeth
  • Patients who wear full or partial dentures
  • Patients who have broken bridges
  • Patients who don’t have any teeth

3) Procedure to put implants

If you have a missing tooth or teeth then you are a candidate for dental implants.

  • A cone-beam CT scan is necessary. We will assess your suitability based on the amount of available bone.
  • We need to assess the soft tissue thickness
  • General health of your mouth
  • Medical history is also important for implant placement

Phase 1

  • We will insert your implants followed by placing a protective cover over them. This procedure is carried out under local anesthesia.
  • At the end of the surgery, the implant is completely covered by gums, so nothing is visible in the mouth.
  • This entire procedure takes 30-60 minutes only.
  • The dental implant integrates with the bone of your jaw over 3-4 months.
  • In aesthetic areas, we give a temporary crown immediately.

Phase 2

  • We place a crown over the implant to replace the original natural tooth. This happens only after the implant has fused with the bone.
  • This crown matches your original tooth both in aesthetics and function.

If all your teeth need to be replaced with implants. We make sure we give you temporary teeth immediately or in 1 day. You will get your final teeth after 3-4 months.

8) Dental implants vs bridges

Bridge: It consists of 3 crowns fused. If 1 tooth is missing then we take the support of 2 adjacent teeth. We trim the adjacent healthy teeth and give a bridge on them.

Advantage
- Faster, within 10 days you can get your final caps

Disadvantage
- We need to trim natural teeth to give a bridge
- After some years there will be sensitivity and these teeth might need a root canal

Implants: They replace individual teeth

Advantage
- The dental implant eliminates the need to trim healthy teeth
- Dental implants can stop the process of jawbone shrinkage which may cause your face to look older
- Dental Implants anchor into the jawbone and fuse with them providing perfect stability
- Implants allow a normal bite pattern

Disadvantage
- Slow process but efficient in the long-term health of adjacent teeth

9) How do I keep my teeth clean with implants?

The most important thing is to care for your teeth every day.

  • Brushing teeth 2-3 times a day is crucial, especially after meals.
  • The use of an interdental brush is compulsory to clean food stuck between teeth.
  • Use mouthwash so that it aids to reduce plaque formation

Like the way you take care of natural teeth, you have to take extra care to maintain implants

10) What food can I eat with implants?

After surgery-
Opt for soft foods and cold food like ice cream, rice, juices, idli, khichdi, kheer, etc. Avoid hard or spicy or hot food. It will irritate the wound. After 2 days you can start eating normal food. Instructions are the same as when you get a tooth removed. Apply ice from outside. It helps in wound healing

Post cap insertion-
You can have normal food. Avoid very hard food like nuts, chikki, ice cubes, sticky sweets, etc. These can put too much pressure on the implants.
