Implants
Overview
Dental Implants
Dental implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable and secure foundation for crowns, bridges, and dentures. Unlike conventional dental restorations, implant-retained prosthetics remain firmly in place while eating or speaking, offering a natural look and feel. Acting as artificial tooth roots, implants are surgically placed into the bone and remain hidden, with a high success rate for long-term use. Precise placement of titanium fixtures ensures strong integration, allowing them to support dental prosthetics or even serve as anchors for orthodontic treatments. Once fully integrated, implants provide reliable function and enhanced comfort compared to traditional crowns and bridges.
Dental Implants Planning and Procedures by Rehan Dental Surgery
A great amount of Planning goes into performing implants. It’s based upon the overall health of the person (previous treatments, diseases, etc.) but mainly on the condition of the jaw including the health of the mucous membranes, the design and arrangement of the jaw bone, and the surrounding teeth to an area of operation.
In order for the implant to properly osseointegrate, it needs an ample amount of bone and it requires a dense healthy soft tissue (gingiva) covering it. Surgeons however often need to rebuild the jaw or the soft tissue due to it being lacking in the patient prior to or during the implant procedure because it may have been lost during the time delay between teeth loss and implant placement. Therefore it is recommended to get the implant placed immediately after extraction to preserve bone and soft tissue.
Recovery after Dental Implants Procedure At Rehan Dental Surgery
At Rehan Dental Surgery, once implants fuse with the jawbone, we place temporary or permanent prosthetics to restore natural bite, function, and aesthetics efficiently and comfortably.
How do implant tooth replacements differ from teeth?
While dental implants and natural teeth look and function similarly, implants fuse directly to the jawbone, unlike teeth which are connected via periodontal ligaments. Implants are not prone to decay but can develop peri-implantitis, whereas natural teeth may face cavities and gum disease. Maintenance and repair differ between the two.
Dental Implant Maintenance:
Implants are durable and replaceable, but require daily brushing and flossing, regular dental check-ups, and professional cleaning to ensure long-term stability and proper function.
