Dental Implant

<p>A Dental Implant is a titanium screw, which is placed in the jaw bone to replace the root of a missing tooth. The process of performing a tooth implant is quite technique sensitive and should be done by only highly qualified and experienced dental implant specialists in India. We consider an implant the best replacement for a missing tooth because:</p> <ul> <li>It is the most conservative replacement for a missing tooth, as the adjacent teeth are not touched, unlike in a bridge.</li> <li>It is the only replacement for a missing tooth, which stabilizes the underlying bone.</li> <li>It is as good as a natural tooth in terms of efficiency of chewing, looks and ease in speech.</li> </ul> <p>If maintained by the patient, the implant can last a lifetime.</p>

ADVANTAGES-

• AESTHETIC LOOKS-Dental Implants integrate beautifully in the jaw bone and stabilize it, so no bone loss occurs. Also, the gum adapts well with the implant and there is no recession. Consequently, a dental implant looks like a natural tooth.
• CONSERVATIVE -Since the adjacent teeth are not touched or altered in any way, implants help maintain the integrity of the other natural teeth in the mouth. The implant takes no support from the adjacent natural teeth, only from the underlying bone.
• CONFIDENCE- A bright smile always leaves a great impression, whereas distorted or broken teeth may reduce your confidence . The dental implants look so natural that they are hardly distinguishable from real teeth. They instill confidence allowing you to eat, talk, and speak fluently. The implants are secured well within the jaw and do not wobble.
• DEPENDABLE- success rate high

Who should op for implant?

The main criteria for selecting a patient for dental implant treatment is good oral and general health. However compromised bone and gum conditions can be treated befirehand to get an implant. Age is not a factor if you wish to have a dental implant. Candidates who do not smoke, or have diabetes, or a weak immune system can have dental implants, as the procedure depends on healing, so that you get your smile in the most natural way possible. Some surgeons prefer not to use dental implants on children because their jawbones are not fully developed. Also, if you suffer from teeth grinding, you should usually stay away from dental implants. Dentists also recommend using dental implants for deeply infected or broken teeth instead of a bridge, where two healthy teeth are sacrificed for a bad one.
