Make an AppointmentMany people suffer from several dental problems such as tooth loss resulting from decay, periodontal diseases, old age or injury. One or more missing teeth can put a strain on other parts of the mouth, affect your bite and chewing. Replacing missing teeth quickly will help to slow down the loss of bone in the mouth, ensure comfort, give a confident smile, and maintain the health of other teeth. There are several treatment options for these dental problems — one of the preferred treatment option is dental implants.
Dental implants are used as a replacement for tooth roots. They help provide a strong foundation for either a permanent or removable teeth. Dental implants can be used in combination with other treatments like bridges and crowns.

Make an AppointmentPeople who are healthy enough for regular dental extraction or surgery can get dental implants. Anyone with healthy gums, sufficient bone to hold the implant, and practice good oral hygiene are eligible to get a dental implant.
People who are heavy smokers, suffering from chronic disorders like heart disease or diabetes, have had any radiation therapy on the neck or head region may not be considered for dental implants.
Getting a dental implant is a three-stage process. Your dentist fits your implant using an individualised treatment plan created to suit your specific need.
The appointment for this first stage last for 1 – 2 hours. In this stage, the dentist will administer a local anaesthetic to numb the areas to be worked on. Your dentist will implant a titanium post into your jaw bone where you have the missing tooth. After placing the implant, you may feel a small discomfort, but it will subside after a while.
This stage involves the integration of the implant with the bone. It takes about 12 weeks to be completed, but in rare cases, integration may take up to a year. Once the implant is fully integrated, it provides a strong and stable base for a new crown or bridge.

After fitting a dental implant, basic oral hygiene steps such as brushing, flossing, rinsing with antibacterial mouth wash, and routine dental check-ups will be sufficient to ensure the implants lasts longer.
