  • What is a dental implant?
  • A dental implant is an artificial
    substitute/replacement for the root portion of
    your natural tooth and is anchored into a
    pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone to support a
    crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in
    place.
  • Implants are made from titanium, a material that
    is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily
    with bone tissue.

  • During the placement of a dental implant, the
    goal is to achieve a close contact between the
    outer surface of the implant and the surrounding
    bone tissue so they can fuse together
    (osteointegration), creating a stable support for
    the new teeth.

  • How is a dental implant placed?

Before any implants are placed, it is important
for your dentist to assess the health of your
teeth and gums. If there are any signs of gum
disease or decay, these must first be treated.

  • How is a dental implant placed?
  • Thereafter, your treatment will be planned
    following several x-rays and, in some cases, a CT
    scan to assess that bone quality and check for
    nearby anatomical structures to avoid before any
    drilling.

  • How is a dental implant placed?
  • The procedure is usually carried out under local
    anaesthesia IV sedation is sometimes used if it
    is a long procedure or the patient is very
    anxious.
  • The gum where the dental implant is to be
    placed is cut and lifted and a small hole is
    drilled in the jaw bone at the precise location
    of the intended implant.

  • The titanium implant is tightly fitted into this
    socket and the gum is stitched back over the
    implant. If there is insufficient bone material
    to accommodate the implant, a bone graft may be
    required, or the dentist may use smaller-sized
    mini implants if suitable.
  • Once the dental implant has been placed, it is
    left to heal and integrate with the jaw bone for
    between six weeks to six months. The bone tissue
    will grow and anchor itself into the microscopic
    rough surface of the implant.

  • During this healing period, patients are given
    temporary teeth (bridges) or continue to wear
    dentures. It is important that temporary teeth do
    not exert any force on the healing implant. After
    the healing period, the gum is again lifted and a
    post is attached to the implant with a temporary
    crown.
  • Four to six weeks later, when the surrounding
    gum tissue has matured, the final permanent
    restoration can be fitted to the implant.
