Dental Implants- All You Need to Know

We empathize with the loss of your natural teeth and the obvious smile insecurities that follow. We bring to you a permanent cure to restore your magnificent smile. Yes, you guessed that right! We are talking about Dental Implants. Dental implants are the most suited option for prosthetic replacement of your missing natural teeth.

What are the Major Advantages of a Root Canal?

• Simulate your natural teeth, aesthetically as well as functionally
• Preserve your jawbone for an infinite period

What are the Treatment Options with Dental Implants?

At Dr. Sachdeva’s Dental Aesthetic and Implant Center, Ashok Vihar, Delhi, a range of affordable options are available from single tooth dental implants to full arch dental implants.

Single Tooth Implants replace one or more individual teeth in an arch. Full Arch Dental Implant Systems, such as ALL-ON-4, ALL-ON-6, ALL-ON-8, replace an entire arch with 4, 6, 8 integrated implants respectively, along with a permanent full-arch prosthesis.

We offer both Titanium metal implants as well as more aesthetic options, such as Zirconia implants.

The treatment plan for dental implants is tailored specifically for every patient at our Dental Clinic in Ashok Vihar, after mutual discussion and analysis of your oral health condition.

The proposed treatment plan is then formulated depending upon:

• Amount and quality of jawbone remaining
• Number of teeth needed to be replaced
• Status of remaining natural teeth in your mouth

At our dental clinic in Ashok Vihar, the surgical treatment is planned and executed using the most advanced Computer Guided Surgery.

Steps of a Conventional Dental Implant Surgery:

Tooth Extraction and Bone Grafting

During this visit, we ensure the complete removal of any remaining tooth or its part before going for implant insertion.

We furnish a complete pain-free extraction experience by numbing the desired area with local anesthesia.

Bone Grafting or Augmentation is performed at the extraction site, for the patients, who have or are likely to have a deficiency of jawbone, to accommodate for the implants.

Without enough bone support and anchorage, the implant may not withstand even regular biting forces. Thus, leading to failure of treatment.

Implant Insertion

During this visit, we surgically open your gums covering the socket area, only after securing effective local anesthesia.

Following this, we drill a hole into the jawbone, deep enough to accommodate the metal screw. We do this with the help of specialized instruments in a minimally invasive way, employing Piezo-surgical techniques.

After implant insertion, the gums are stitched back, allowing them to heal.

Placement of Abutment

Once the implant has successfully osseointegrated or integrated within your jawbone, we place the abutment or connector over it.

This is accomplished by incising and exposing the area, under local anesthesia, to access the implant for the removal of the cover screw. Again, the gums are sutured back, allowing them to heal judiciously.

Placement of Crown

After most healing has been achieved, which is nearly after 3-6 months, we get your dental impressions to fabricate customized crowns.

The crown or a full arch prosthesis is then cemented on the top of the abutment, in the next visit, thereby completing the full implant architecture.

What are the Implant Timelines?

Usually, the dental implant procedure is spaced out over half to a full one year and is performed in a stepwise manner.

There is no rigid timeline as healing is a normal body response that varies from patient to patient.

NOTE:

• Immediate Implant Surgery:

Tooth removal and implant insertion can be done simultaneously on the same day, for patients who have adequate jawbone and the infection-free surgical site.

• Immediate Loading Implants:

Smile restoration with the attachment of prosthetic crown within 24 hours of implant insertion.

Both these implant options are served at our Dental Clinic in Ashok Vihar.
