• A dental implant is a modern way of replacing
  missing teeth. It takes the form of a titanium
  post that fixes into your jawbone and is topped
  by an artificial tooth. The crown of your dental
  implant will be almost indistinguishable from the
  rest of your teeth, and will work like a normal
  tooth making implants a very attractive,
  long-term solution. The process can take between
  two and six months, as the crown is fitted once
  the titanium post has integrated with the
  jawbone. Dental implants are generally carried
  out by private cosmetic dentists, and are rarely
  offered on the NHS. Anyone with healthy teeth and
  gums can have an implant fitted.
• What is a dental implant?
• Dentists In Bangalore implants offer a modern way
  to replace missing teeth, with a long-term
  solution that is as close to your natural teeth
  as possible.
• But what exactly is a dental implant?-
  Essentially, it is a routine dentistry procedure
  to replace the full structure of a natural tooth.
  Whereas a denture or crown will fill the gap left
  by missing teeth, a tooth implant replaces the
  full root portion of the tooth and is fitted
  directly to your jawbone, making for a longer
  lasting, more functional and aesthetically
  pleasing solution. Millions of patients worldwide
  have successfully had dental implants fitted.

• Can anyone have an implant?
• To have an implant and be considered for false
  teeth, it is important that your teeth and gums
  are healthy. If there are any other problems,
  these will need to be treated first.
• Given the nature of the procedure, you need to
  have healthy bone in your jaw in order for the
  implants to successfully fuse and become strong
  enough to support the replacement tooth. If you
  smoke, suffer from diabetes, have advanced gum
  disease or certain other medical conditions (on
  which your dentist can advise) the procedure may
  not be for you.
• If you are eligible for an implant, it is highly
  recommended that you do not delay. Implants
  should ideally be fitted within one year of
  losing a tooth, as the jaw bone that surrounds a
  tooth immediately starts to shrink in size and
  eventually becomes so small that it will not
  support an implant.
• A dentist requires postgraduate training to
  perform implant dentistry. Always make sure you
  see a dentist with ample knowledge and experience
  for the treatment you require.

• Feel free to ask how many procedures they have
  carried out and if other patients who have had
  the procedure could share their experience.
• What are the benefits of having an implant?
• The replacement crown of your dental implant will
  be almost indistinguishable from the rest of your
  teeth. As dentures can come loose and a bridge
  may require a clasp to hold it in place, dental
  implants are the more long-term solution.
  Furthermore, once in place, as well as being
  aesthetically pleasing, dental implants are
  highly functional. Unlike dentures, which can be
  prone to moving about, teeth attached to an
  implant work like natural teeth. This means there
  will be no issues with speech and no discomfort
  eating harder foods that you might experience
  with normal dentures.
• Another major medical advantage of this form of
  cosmetic dentistry is that implants put a stop to
  bone loss. Over time missing teeth can cause
  atrophy (loss of bone) in the jaw, which may
  eventually alter the appearance of the face as
  the area around the mouth starts to sag. Dental
  implants can actually improve your bone structure
  by simulating growth. This can radically reduce
  the ageing effect missing teeth can have on your
  appearance.

• What should I expect from the procedure?
• Implants are perfectly safe and there is no need
  to worry about the procedure. Though the
  treatment is advanced, it is also very well
  established and performed frequently.
• A tooth implant takes the form of an artificial
  root a titanium post that fixes into a space
  created in in your jawbone. Once the post is in
  place it will take between two to six months for
  the implant to integrate with the jawbone, at
  which point your dentist will ask you to come
  back so that the teeth can be fitted. A connector
  called an abutment is attached to the post to
  hold the false tooth in place.
• You can have any number of teeth replaced with
  implants, from individually missing teeth to a
  complete set. If the missing teeth are next to
  each other, you may find that two or more
  implants may be able to support more than one
  tooth each, similar to a bridge.

• Is it painful to have a dental implant fitted?
• As dental implants are usually fitted under local
  anesthetic you will not feel any pain during the
  procedure. It is quite common to experience some
  soreness in the following days however, but this
  pain can be controlled with regular
  anti-inflammatories that your dentist will
  prescribe.
• How long will my implants last?
• Dental implants aim to replicate the natural make
  up of a tooth and so, just as with the rest of
  your teeth, their durability will depend largely
  on how well they are maintained. If looked after
  properly, a dental implant should last for a good
  many years. That said, they do not come with a
  lifetime guarantee and neglect can lead to the
  same problems you might experience with any other
  tooth.
• Cleaning implants requires the same level of
  dental hygiene as natural teeth, although there
  may be areas that you could find difficult to
  reach. Some find that they may need to take more
  frequent visits to the hygienist to ensure their
  upkeep.

• How much do dental implants cost?
• Having dental implants fitted is a multi-staged
  process and, covering everything from the initial
  procedure to fit the titanium post, down to the
  actual crowns, each dental implant will cost
  between 1,200-3,500 depending on the exact
  nature of the work you require. A Dentists In
  Bangalore will always provide a full written
  quote with a detailed explanation of the
  procedure before you consent to any treatment.
  Most people opt for low or zero interest finance
  that many practices offer to help with the costs.
  Due to the high success rate, they are better
  long-term investments than paying to replace
  dentures or bridges.
