Characteristics of Dental Implants
Dental implants are highly durable and versatile tooth replacement options, offering several key characteristics that make them a popular choice:
- Biocompatibility: Dental implants are typically made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that fuse with the jawbone, providing a secure and natural foundation for replacement teeth.
- Longevity and Durability: Implants are known for their durability and can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a reliable and cost-effective solution for missing teeth.
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing smile restoration.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants help maintain the integrity of the jawbone and surrounding teeth, preventing bone loss and preserving overall oral health.
Who Can Have Dental Implants?
Dental implants are suitable for various individuals seeking a long-term solution for missing teeth.
They are ideal for:
- Individuals with one or more missing teeth, seeking a permanent and natural-lookingreplacement option.
- People with sufficient jawbone density, ensuring a strong foundation for successful implant placement.
- Those who want to enhance their smile and overall oral health, gaining the benefits of a stable and functional bite.
The Process of Getting Dental Implants
The process of obtaining dental implants, utilizing three renowned implant brands—Osstem, Medentika, and Straumann—in our clinic, involves several key steps:
- Consultation and Treatment Planning: Begin with a comprehensive consultation with your dentist to discuss your suitability for dental implants. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan, considering your oral health and preferences.
- Implant Brand Selection: Depending on your specific case, your dentist will recommend the most suitable implant brand among the globally recognized options available in our clinic—Osstem, Medentika, or Straumann.
- Implant Placement: During a minor surgical procedure, the selected dental implant brand (Osstem, Medentika, or Straumann) is precisely placed into the jawbone. This implant serves as the anchor for the future prosthetic tooth or teeth.
- Healing and Integration: Over a few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring a strong and stable foundation for the artificial tooth.
- Abutment and Restoration: After osseointegration, an abutment is attached to the implant, onto which the final prosthetic tooth or crown from the selected brand (Osstem, Medentika, or Straumann) is securely placed, completing the restoration.
