Tooth loss can have serious ill effects on oral
health. Lost tooth can invite many dental
problems and reduce the ability of a person to
bite and chew food. Dental implants are among the
popular and most effective tooth replacement
appliances. The implants replace the root of a
lost tooth and act as an anchor to dental crowns
which are fit over it. The placement of a dental
implant in jaw bone requires a surgery which can
be performed by a qualified dental professional.
Our dentists specialize in performing dental
implant surgeries. The team has the knowledge,
skills and experience required to handle

• What are the problems caused from tooth loss?
• Tooth loss may occur from tooth decay, gum
  diseases or from an injury. Tooth loss can cause
  a number of problems in a person. The empty space
  created by missing tooth creates an imbalance in
  forces exerted on other existing teeth. This can
  push the teeth nearby to move towards the empty
  space.
• When few teeth are lost, the jaw bone starts to
  shrink because of lack of stimulation from teeth.
  This can cause the facial skin to sag due to lack
  of necessary support. There may be psychological
  effects on the person when front tooth is lost.
  The gap created by lost tooth may be unsightly
  which can force a person to hide his/her teeth
  when smiling.
• Dental Implant Surgery
• Almost any person who is free from medical
  conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, heart
  diseases can undergo dental implant surgery. The
  jaw bone of the patient should be thick and long
  enough to hold the implants. X-rays are taken to
  check the status of the jaw bone and make sure
  that the patient is fit for dental implant. In
  conditions where jaw bones are not very healthy
  our dentist may help patients with alternative
  treatment procedure. Our dentist checks the
  condition of gums before planning the dental
  implant procedure. Once our Implant dentist
  confirms that the patient is fit to undergo the
  surgery a treatment plan is set. The placement of
  dental implant is a step-by-step process which is
  performed in the presence of local anesthesia.

• An incision is made in the gums to expose the jaw
  bone. Hole is drilled in the jaw bone to make
  space for placement of dental implant. The
  implant is carefully placed in the jaw bone and
  the gum tissues are stitched back. The implant is
  left to heal. During the healing period, the
  implant forms a bond with the jaw bone. This
  process is called osseointegration. The process
  takes several months. The abutment and dental
  crown are then fit over the implant. The dental
  crown is designed to resemble natural teeth. By
  the end of the treatment, patients will have
  beautiful tooth replacement which is supported by
  dental implant.
