Dental Implants

Having missing teeth is often embarrassing and frustrating. It keeps patients from being comfortable with smiling, but it also makes it difficult to do other normal everyday routine , like talking and eating. .
The Dental implants resembles and functions like natural teeth and it prevents patients  from being embrassed by loose denture,  as jaw bone continuouly dissolves under pressure of Denture and natural process of Bone loss due to missing teeth.  patients have the opportunity to replace their missing teeth with Dental Implant  without having to get Dentures or Dental bridges. Dental implants are done by  inserting the body of Implant in the Jaw bone which is  usually  made of Titanium . Depending on the  quality of Bone and the patient's need , the implant body can be immediately restored with Implant  Abutment and Crown   or left to heal for 4/5 months to integrate and then restored  . From beginning to end, dental implants in our practice take 3-6 months and 2-3 visits. .  The Implant retained Teeth restoration is cost effective because , it minimizes the speed of Bone loss and prevents any damage to adjacemt teeth . If the missing teeth is repalced by Partial Denture , it causes decay and loosenes of the adjacent tooth holding the paretial denture. Other  method of restoring missing teerth is by  Fixed bridge. In order for fabricating Fixed Bridge , Abutment tooth to hold the Bridge needs to be grinded to place a crown and  the missing tooth is joined to the abutment tooth  with another Crown called Pontic. The Abutment tooth  of Fixed  Bridge  almost always gets  deacyed and develpoes Periodontal disease ( The reson being because  Patient is not meticulous in cleaning under the Fixed bridge)  . The decayed and Periodontally affected Abutment teeth at last needs to be extracted and the another bridge needs to be fabricated by grinding another set of present teeth . With Dental implant , the restoration last longer with proper care .
