Dental Implants
Dental implants provide advantages over other conventional restorative dental works:
- Unlike conventional bridgework, dental implants can provide tooth replacement without the need to cut down adjacent teeth.
- Dental implants also prevent the loss of bone in the area of the missing tooth. Replacing the tooth with an implant restores function to the bone and prevents the resorption of the bone.
- Dental implants can also be used to anchor full or partial removable dentures. This provides much greater retention and security than traditional techniques.

Advancement in Implant Technologies and Techniques
Dental implants have significantly improved in the past 20 years. The understanding of the site requirements and placement procedures that are necessary to ensure primary stability have advanced considerably. Implant designs and surface treatments have also evolved. This has lead to high success rates for dental implant treatments with patients reporting greater comfort level.
Planning
Radiographs, CT Scans,study models and pre-operative planning provide an increased level of confidence and an extra margin of safety for patients:
- visualization of implant placement and bone augmentation procedures
- a constant tool for clear communication between all members
- Eliminates Surprises During Surgery by providing accurate and comprehensive information about the patient's anatomy
- enables flapless surgery whereby no incisions are made in the patient's mouth
- provides comprehensive, non-distorted data describing your patient's bone quantity and quality

Reduction of Treatment Time
Material developments and techniques such as the dental implant surfaces (SLA) has now allowed shorter treatment time. These new surface developments allows: 
- Enhanced osseointegration for unmatched stablility
- Immediate Function for patients
- Ideal texture and porosity for bone apposition
- Enhanced environment for bone formation
- Soft Tissue integration for healthy connective/epithelial tissue and a natural looking gingiva
- Its structure most similar to human cancellous bone thus absorbs blood proteins, aids bone growth

A dental implant is a small screw made of titanium, which is a metal that the body easily accepts. The dental implant is inserted into the bone of the jaw, and over time the jawbone integrates with the implant surface, firmly anchoring it.
Under normal conditions, the healing process can take as little as 6 weeks. After this time, a crown, bridge, or denture is secured to the implant.
Ask your dentist how dental implants can work for your individual situation. |
