Dental Implants 
 
 

A remarkable procedure, implants can replace any or all of your teeth. The implant becomes integrated with the bone and acts like a natural tooth root which will ultimately support a new tooth.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.  

 

Treatment phases
First Surgical Phase (Implant Placement)
Under Local anesthetic Dr. places dental implants into the jaw bone with a very precise surgical procedure. The implant remains covered by gum tissue while fusing with the jaw bone.

Second Surgical Phase (Implant Uncovery)
After approximately six months of healing. Under local anesthetic, the implant root is exposed and a healing post is placed over the top, so that the gum tissue heals around the post.

Prosthetic Phase (Teeth)
Once the gums have healed, an implant crown is fabricated and screwed down to the implant.

 

Immediate Implants
In some of the candidates one can go for only one stage procedure where surgery and prosthetic step is done in one go only especially where esthetic or cosmetic is of atmost importance and where patients are given special instructions as far as function is concerned
