Dental Implants
दाँत प्रत्यारोपण (इम्प्लान्ट)Dental Implants are artificial tooth roots that serve as a base for fixed or removable replacement teeth and are used to replace missing or extracted teeth, offering a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for restoring oral function.
What it involves
An implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over the following months the bone fuses to it, and a crown, bridge or denture is then attached on top. Unlike a removable denture, the replacement tooth is fixed and is cleaned in much the same way as a natural one. Suitability depends on the amount and quality of bone available, which we assess with an examination and x-rays.
Why patients choose dental implants
- Replaces a missing tooth without cutting down the neighbouring teeth
- Fixed in place, so it does not move while eating or speaking
- Helps preserve the jawbone where a tooth has been lost
- Can support a single crown, a bridge or a full denture
Common questions
- How long does the whole implant process take?
- The post needs time to fuse with the bone before the crown is fitted, so the full process usually spans several months. The surgical placement itself is a single appointment.
- Is implant surgery painful?
- The area is fully numbed during placement. Afterwards most people describe mild soreness for a few days, managed with ordinary pain relief.
- Is everyone suitable for an implant?
- Not always. Enough healthy jawbone, controlled gum disease and generally good health are needed. Smoking and some medical conditions affect healing. An assessment with x-rays will tell you where you stand.
