Dental Implants
are an excellent option for replacing one or more missing teeth as
an individual crown or a permanent bridge. The implant is a titanium
devices, root shaped to be embedded into the jaw bone.
To get an
implant fixed, we need to ensure that your jawbone is in good shape,
and you have healthy oral tissues. This helps in the bonding between
the jaw and the implant, hence giving you ever-lasting support.
Implants can be
used for single tooth as well as for fixed full denture. The
procedure of putting single tooth implant is usually done in two
stages. In first stage root part of implant is fixed, then it is
allowed to integrate with the bone over a period of four to six
months and then the crown part is fixed, but in certain cases it may
be done immediately depending upon the bone availability and number
of other factors.
In case of
fixed full denture, the denture is supported on four to six mini
implants in each jaw and then the denture is fixed over it at the
same time.
