Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. The implant is made from a titanium post that’s embedded in the jawbone. It replaces the root of the original tooth, and it securely anchors the new tooth. A specially shaped piece of metal, the abutment, is fastened to the top of the implant, then the new tooth is attached to the abutment. Implants can be embedded in the jaw without bothering surrounding teeth, and you can have multiple dental implants. However, your gums must be healthy and your jawbone must be able to support the implant. If the bone is too thin or soft, a bone graft may be needed before an implant can be used.

Preparation for the implant includes a CT scan, that is available in-house, to get a better look at the jaw bones. After all the preparation is done and the implant is ready, you’ll have dental surgery to install the metal post into the jawbone. Over the next 2-4 months, the area heals and the implant fuses with the surrounding bone. When you’re completely healed, the dental abutment and new tooth are attached.

We also offer immediate loading of our implants when indicated, where patients can return home with teeth, thanks to the intraoral welding technique and the availability of the advanced implant stability measurement tools like the Resonance Frequency Analysis device.
