Types of Dental Implants in Rohini, Delhi

A dental implant by itself is not a tooth! A dental implant is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Essentially, it is a small titanium post/fixture that is inserted into the jawbone, on top of which a single crown (cap), a fixed bridge, a partial denture, or full denture can be attached. Once the implant integrates to your bone, a structure called an abutment is connected to the implant and then the artificial tooth/teeth are attached.

Dental implants are the most natural looking and natural feeling replacement for missing teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants don’t slip or when you talk, laugh or eat. And they help keep your jawbone healthy, so that your facial structure stays intact.

Our patients tell us that there is very little to no discomfort associated with the placement of an implant, and there is minimal to no swelling. General anesthesia is available for those who choose not to be awake during the procedure.

Every case is different. After an initial consultation, your implant dentist should provide you with a treatment plan including the estimated amount of time to complete the process. The treatment time depends on each patient’s restoration needs, medical and dental histories, the condition of the jawbone, and the techniques and materials that are used.

To ensure a strong, sturdy and long-lasting smile that looks, feels, fits and functions over time like natural teeth, multiple appointments are almost always necessary. The total amount of time from start to finish can be as short as a few months, to more than a year for more complex conditions. Patients return home in between visits and continue to work and go about their everyday lives. What’s most important is that you receive the right treatment for you, are comfortable throughout the process, and are happy with the result for years to come.

Normally yes – we have worked with many exceptional cases where other implant dentists have said there is not enough bone. We will do a thorough assessment of course, including detailed x-rays and the latest in 3D imaging to assess the bone available.

Very rarely we will explain that there is not enough bone to safely work with implants and then we have to consider alternative dental options with you and your dentist.

There are two basic criteria for people who desire dental implants. –You must be relatively healthy, meaning no uncontrolled medical problems, such as uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, or immunosuppressive diseases.–You must have enough bone to be able to place something in to it.

Most people relate that the implant placement procedure is similar to a simple or easier extraction. You are slightly sore, but not debilitated. Everyone is different, however, so our patients are provided the proper pain medications, as necessary.

Modern dental implants have been successful for over 30 years. Dental implants are intended to be permanent; however, many things contribute to their long term success including home care and regular maintenance. Cigarette smoking can cause problems with implant healing. Engineering is an important part of the success of the dental implant reconstruction. Placing the correct type and number of implants is important. Regular maintenance visits are important as is daily home care

The investment made in proper and comprehensive implant therapy is an investment in your overall health and quality of life. Appearance is improved and facial structures are preserved. There are many factors involved in cost including the number of implants and the type of teeth placed over them. A thorough consultation is required to determine final cost, but all fees are presented prior to any commitment for treatment.

This depends on the position that the implants are placed and what we are intending to do with our restoration. The implants are placed and sutures are usually removed in about one week. Following a proper healing time (usually 4-5 months), the implants are uncovered and impressions are made for the final teeth. This may take a month or so depending on the complexity of the situation.

We will always try to provide you with some type of transitional or temporary tooth.

Absolutely not. Implants have been thoroughly researched and the current technology results in an outstanding success rate in the hands of the well trained and experienced clinician.

Whether an implant can be placed on the same day as an extraction depends on the amount of bone that is available and whether there is any infection around the existing tooth. When teeth are lost, bone will shrink in several dimensions. Placing an implant immediately can reduce this bone loss and provide a better esthetic result.
