Dental Implants

Comfortable, Long-Lasting Solutions for Missing Teeth

✅ What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium screw placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. It functions just like a natural tooth root.

• Restores single missing teeth without affecting neighboring teeth

• Provides a fixed alternative to removable dentures in multiple tooth loss

• Stabilizes lower jaw dentures in complete tooth loss cases

🦷 Treatment Process

• The healing process (osseointegration) takes around 2.5 to 4 months.

• If bone grafting or sinus lifting is needed, it may extend to 6 months.

• Once healed, a porcelain crown or bridge is placed.

⭐ Benefits of Implant Treatment

• Fixed and stable – no slipping or removal needed

• Adjacent healthy teeth remain untouched

• Improved chewing and speaking comfort

• Helps prevent bone loss over time

❓ Is the Procedure Painful?

No. The implant is placed under local anesthesia, and only the target area is numbed.
With proper medication and oral hygiene, most patients experience a comfortable, pain-free recovery.

💬 What About Swelling or Pain?

• Mild swelling or bruising is normal.

• Cold compress in the first 24 hours helps reduce it quickly.

• Pain is typically minimal and manageable with recommended painkillers.

⏱️ How Long Does It Take?

If additional procedures are done, treatment can take up to 6 months in total.

✂️ Is Stitch-Free Implant Placement Possible?

Yes! In suitable cases, such as immediate implant placement after tooth extraction, the procedure can be done without cutting the gum or using stitches.

⚠️ Are Implants Harmful? Can They Be Rejected?

No. Implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible metal with a very low risk of allergy or rejection.
Rejection is extremely rare.

👥 Who is Suitable for Implants?

Implants can be used by most individuals with good general health and proper oral hygiene.

Not recommended for:

• Patients with uncontrolled diabetes or serious systemic conditions

• Those who recently had chemotherapy or radiotherapy

• But even with low bone density, bone grafting can make implants possible.

🚬 What If I Smoke?

Smoking significantly reduces implant success.
Smokers have a 2–3 times higher risk of implant failure.

⌛ How Long Do Implants Last?

With good oral care and regular dental visits, implants can last for decades – just like your natural teeth.
