Dental Implants

Fix Your Smile with Dental Implants Services

Our dental implants services are designed to replace missing permanent teeth and act as a tooth root to support the various cosmetic dentistry options available. Without a tooth root, crowns, bridges, and veneers can shift in the mouth and cause issues with speech and eating. 

Dental Implants are metal bars surgically placed directly into your jaw bone structure. The implanted metal bars protrude through the gum tissue, allowing an artificial tooth to be screwed directly onto the bar. This procedure can be used for a single tooth or a group of teeth (bridge or denture)

Types of Dental Implants

There are two main types of Dental Implants that can be used for tooth replacement such as Endosteal Implants and Subperiosteal Implants. Endosteal Implants are the steel posts implanted directly into the bone tissue. Subperiosteal Implants is a framework of metal that is surgically placed over the jaw bone, below the gum tissue.

As your gums heals, the frame becomes fused with your jaw bone structure. Once healing is complete, metal bars are attached to the frame, and as Endosteal Implants protrude through the gums, acting as the root of your tooth and the vertical bone for dental prosthetics to attach to. These two options not only allow for stabilization of various cosmetic dentistry options, it also prevents shifting of adjacent teeth that often occurs when a natural tooth is lost.

There are many benefits to the placement of Dental Implants. In addition to strengthening bone tissue, implants can prevent bone loss by filling the void a missing natural tooth leaves behind. It’s also proven that restorative dentistry results in a higher quality of life for patients who have previously lived with a missing tooth or teeth.

Dental Implants Services enhance the stability of dentures, resulting in a more secure fitting denture. This minimizes patient discomfort, and aids in avoiding debris from getting lodged between the gums and the dental bridge or denture that often leads to bad breath, or in extreme cases, even gum diseases.

Dental Implants Services at Chagger Dental | Phases of dental implant treatment

Dental implant treatment takes place in several phases:

1. Implantological study: A personalized evaluation of the case is carried out, in which aspects such as the bite and the shape of the mouth are studied. X-rays are necessary and may include 3D scans or computerized axial tomography (CAT). This assessment helps to correctly position the implant in the bone.

2. Placement of dental implants: The surgical procedure begins by applying anesthesia to the indicated area. With the area anesthetized, the hole where the implant will be housed is prepared using a sequence of drills that are inserted from smallest to largest. Once done, the implant will be placed and, if necessary, the wound will be closed with stitches.

3. Integration of the implant with the bone and tissues: After the surgical procedure, the fusion of the titanium implant with the bone requires 2 to 6 months. Once fused, the definitive rehabilitations can be placed on them.

4.  Placement of dental prostheses: Once the implant has been perfectly integrated, impressions will be taken to make the new teeth. Tests are carried out to ensure the aesthetics and functionality of the new pieces and they are placed cemented or screwed to the implant.

5. Recommendation of discharge splint: To protect both implants and porcelain prostheses from wear, the use of a relief splint is recommended. The implants do not have a periodontal ligament, so they do not allow the cushioning of chewing forces and the prostheses can suffer overload. On the other hand, porcelain is more fragile than tooth enamel, so it must be protected even more.

6.  Maintenance and hygiene: Once the process is done, it will be important to maintain daily oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing. Finally, it will be necessary to visit the dentist and hygienist regularly to ensure that the operation has been positive and that the implant is stable, as well as the crowns or prostheses that have been placed on it.
