What Is Dental Implants?

Dental implant is, tooth root like structure that is bio compatible , made from medical grade titanium, similar to titanium used in joint replacements and other orthopaedic replacements . Dental implant comes in many sizes and shapes to meet the aesthetic and functional needs .

How it is done?

As a first step towards implants , CBCT 3D scan( cone beam computed tomography ) will be taken and analysed . The entire treatment can be planned using the special software program . Then dental implant will be inserted in the pre determined position and allowed to integrate with bone ,which will take 2-3 months . After the waiting time artificial tooth crown can be fixed on top of the implant . At DENTICARE we do immediate loading , one stage healing and delayed healing method.

Sinus Lifting and Bone Grafting

Placing implant requires sufficient bone width and height to secure initial stability. After tooth loss ,air space (sinus) in the upper back tooth area tend to enlarge and bone height get shortened . Sinus lifting is the method to graft more bone in the affected area and facilitate the implant placement .Based on the severity of the bone loss, Sinus lifting can be done by direct or indirect method.

• Provisional teeth set will be given on the day of the surgery or with in 48hrs ( Teeth in a Day)
• Bone grafting and prolonged healing period can be avoided
• Relatively economical

Surgical Guide

Placing the implant in the pre determined location with right angle and , depth is the key to Success of implant treatment . Surgical guide is a rigid template that is precisely built for this purpose . We Use your 3D scan data and model of your teeth to design the Surgical Guide .
