Dental Implants

A missing tooth can make a world of difference to your face, bite and overall oral health. Dental implants are a popular and the best way to replace missing teeth.

A dental impact is a structure made from biocompatible material that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is a screw-like device placed into the jaw bone that allows the attachment of the implant crown, which is visible in the mouth.

Dental implants replace individual teeth and are also used as support structures (abutments) for implant-supported dentures.
They are placed by dentists who are specially trained in the field.

At Hortman Clinics, dental implant treatment is performed by certified implantologists who ensure successful, long-term replacement of your missing teeth.

Why are Dental Implants preferred over Dentures?

Since their advent in dentistry, dental implants have been the crowd favourite over dentures. Here are a few reasons why:

  • They are more natural
  • Since they are fixed, they are far more comfortable than dentures
  • They prevent bone loss and stimulate bone formation in the area of the missing tooth
  • Improve chewing efficiency
  • Lower risk of cavities
  • Do not require frequent removal and cleaning
  • Enable better maintenance and bone health

Despite their several benefits, dental implants are only suitable for some. If you have one or more missing teeth, schedule a consultation with our specialists at Hortman Clinics today!

TREATMENT

What happens during a Dental Implant placement surgery?

The placement of a dental implant happens in two phases—surgical and restorative. The entire treatment is performed on an outpatient basis, and you can go home after the procedure.

The implant procedure, including both phases, can take a few months to complete, as your jaw needs time to heal and accept the dental implant.

Stages of the dental implant procedure:

  • The damaged tooth IS removed (if needed). In a few cases, a dental implant can be placed immediately after removing the damaged or decayed tooth. In most cases, the surgeon allows a 2-3 month gap to allow the bone to heal before placing the implant.
  • A small cut is made at the site of the missing tooth. A specialised drill is used to place the implant screw in the pre-designated location inside the jaw bone. If a bone graft is required, it is added to the site. The position of the implant screw is verified using X-rays.
  • Once done, the cut is closed with sutures. Follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions.

In most cases, the implant is allowed to attach to the bone securely before a crown is placed. A 3-to 4-month healing period is given between the surgical and restorative phases.

  • The integration of the implant with the surrounding bone is verified using an x-ray.
  • A small cut is made to expose the implant screw, and a small abutment is placed on the screw. This allows the gums to grow around it to give it a natural appearance. This abutment is kept in place for two weeks.
  • After two weeks, the dentist will take measurements to fabricate the implant crown.
  • Once the final crown arrives, the crown is cemented to the screw. Bite adjustment is made.

The most popular filler-dissolving material is hyaluronidase. This is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. When hyaluronidase is injected into the area of the filler material, it rapidly breaks down the filler and absorbs it for safe elimination from the body.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Dental implants are safe. Some people may experience side effects during or after the procedure, which include:

  • Infection around the implant
  • Exposure of the implant above the gumline
  • Movement of the implant
  • Opening of the incision following surgery
  • Nerve damage or altered sensation in the surgical area

 

To enable healthy healing post-implant surgery, here are a few aftercare measures you can take:

  • Follow the oral hygiene instructions given by the surgeon
  • Keep your follow-up appointment with your doctor
  • Do not eat hard or sticky foods that may irritate the surgical area

 

The success rate of implants depends on many factors, such as oral hygiene, brushing and flossing habits, history of smoking and overall health and wellness. In people with good oral hygiene and health, dental Implants can have success rate in the range of 90% to 95%.

Jaw growth stops around age 18, and this is the best time to get an implant if you have a missing tooth.

Implant placement requires surgery, which is performed under local anaesthesia. You may experience mild pain and discomfort after surgery. Your doctor will give medications to reduce any swelling, pain or discomfort. You can also take OTC pain-relieving medications.

Recovery time after an implant placement surgery varies, but most people are back to their routine 2-3 days after the treatment.
