Dental implants are considered the gold standard
for missing teeth. We at Dr Kandharis Skin and
Dental clinic believe every tooth that can be
saved should be saved but if one does end up
losing a tooth than the best option is to get
fixed implants done. There are various
advantages of this treatment unlike removable
dentures which need to be taken off and worn
every time, these are fixed. They are easy to
maintain and clean. The adjacent teeth do not
need to be touched or reduced thereby making it a
very beneficial procedure for the neighboring
healthy teeth.

Another very big advantage of implants is that it
prevents bone loss and promotes bony regeneration
over time. Unlike any other replacements like
fixed bridges and dentures, implants promote bone
healing and regeneration over time. This prevents
loss of vertical height in the face thereby
preventing the aged look. Implants are also
highly aesthetic as they are placed directly on
the gums and have a very natural appearance as
compared to other prosthesis. Although it is a
surgical procedure, implant surgery can be
relatively painless and comfortable if done under
adequate anesthesia by a well-trained dentist.

Also a patient can chew and eat almost everything
with dental implants. Their diet and quality of
life is significantly enhanced after implant
placement. The most important step of any
implant surgery is the planning. Before anything
else the final crown or bridge to be given over
the implant should be planned so that we get
highly aesthetic and functional results.

Than the entire procedure is divided into two
steps where the main surgical procedure is
completed in the first step following which a
three month break is given. This allows the
surgical area to heal and bone formation to occur
around the implant. This stabilizes the implant
and gets it ready to receive the crown. An
implant that is done well with proper planning
can last a lifetime. This also helps in largely
improving the patients diet and other medical
conditions like diabetes, blood pressure and
overall quality of life. So, if you have a
missing tooth and have been considering getting
it replaced, do go ahead and fix that appointment
at the earliest.
