What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. They provide a strong foundation for dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, resulting in a natural-looking, comfortable, and fully functional smile. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth.

The Surgical Phase of Dental Implants
-
Consultation and Planning
The dental implant process begins with a thorough consultation, during which your oral health is assessed, and a treatment plan is developed. This may include 3D imaging, dental impressions, and discussions about the most suitable type of dental implant for your specific needs. -
Bone Grafting (if necessary):
In some cases, patients may require a bone graft to ensure sufficient bone volume to support the dental implant. This can be done using various materials, such as bone from another part of the body, donor bone, or synthetic bone substitutes. The bone grafting procedure typically takes several months to heal before the implant surgery can proceed, although in select cases it can be performed at the same time the implant is placed.For patients with severe bone loss who may not be ideal candidates for traditional bone grafting, zygomatic implants offer an advanced alternative. These specialized implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma), providing strong support for implant restorations without the need for extensive grafting.
-
Implant Surgery
The implant is then carefully inserted into the jawbone done under local anaesthetic. The healing process, called osseointegration, typically takes between 3 to 4 months, during which time the implant fuses with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation for the dental restoration. During this phase, you may have a temporary restoration in place.

Dental Restoration and Design
After the implant has fully integrated, the process of designing your dental restoration begins. This may involve taking digital impressions, selecting the appropriate materials, and working closely with a skilled dental technician to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance. -
Restoration Placement
Once the dental restoration is complete, your new set of teeth is carefully attached to the implant. -
Follow-up and Maintenance
Regular dental check-ups and maintenance are essential to ensure the long-term success of your dental implants. This includes monitoring the health of the surrounding gum tissue, checking the stability of the implant, and ensuring the proper function and aesthetics of the dental restoration. -
