DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. The implant is placed in the jawbone and allowed to integrate with the bone over a period of several months. After integration, a dental crown can be placed on top of the implant to provide a natural-looking and functional replacement for the missing tooth.

Dental implants offer a number of benefits, including improved appearance, improved comfort, improved speech, improved self-esteem, and improved oral health. Dental implants also provide stability for dentures and bridges, helping to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

The best way to determine if a dental implant is right for you is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. During the consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants.

The process of getting a dental implant typically involves steps such as consultation, dental X-rays, placement of the implant, a healing period, and placement of the crown.

Dental implants can last for many years, provided that they are properly cared for. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental implants can last for decades.

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the type of implant, the number of implants needed, and the complexity of the procedure. In general, the cost of a single implant can range from Rs 25000/- to 90,000/-

No, the implant procedure is typically not painful. Local anesthesia is used to ensure that the patient remains comfortable throughout the procedure.

Dental implants are typically made of a biocompatible titanium alloy. This material is strong, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion.

Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining the health of dental implants. Proper brushing and flossing, as well as regular visits to the dentist, can help keep dental implants clean and free of plaque and bacteria.
