What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. It is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root for a replacement tooth. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping you smile, eat, and speak with confidence.

Types of Dental Implants

Endosteal Implants – Most common type; placed directly into the jawbone.
Subperiosteal Implants – Placed under the gum but above the jawbone; used for patients with insufficient bone.
All-on-4 Implants – Supports a full arch of teeth with just four implants; ideal for complete tooth loss.

Dental Implant Procedure

Consultation & X-rays – To assess bone health and plan treatment.
Implant Placement – The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
Healing Time – Bone integrates with the implant (osseointegration) over 3-6 months.
Abutment & Crown Placement – A connector (abutment) is added, followed by a custom-made crown.

Precautions After Dental Implants

Avoid hard or sticky foods for the first few weeks.
Maintain good oral hygiene – brush gently around the implant.
Avoid smoking and alcohol as they delay healing.
Follow-up with your dentist regularly.
Take prescribed medications and avoid strenuous activity initially.
