Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that function like natural teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which serves as a strong foundation for a replacement tooth (crown, bridge, or denture).
1️⃣ Endosteal Implants – Most common type, placed directly into the jawbone.
2️⃣ Subperiosteal Implants – Placed under the gum but above the jawbone, ideal for patients with insufficient bone.
3️⃣ All-on-4 Implants – A full-arch replacement using just four implants.
Zygomatic Implants – 4️⃣ Used in cases of severe bone loss, anchored in the cheekbone.
✔ Provides a permanent, durable solution for missing teeth
✔ Restores chewing and speech function
✔ Prevents bone loss by stimulating jawbone growth
✔ Improves facial aesthetics and prevents sagging
✔ Offers a natural look and feel like real teeth
🔹 Step 1: Consultation & Assessment – X-rays and scans to evaluate jawbone health.
🔹 Step 2: Implant Placement Surgery – Titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
🔹 Step 3: Healing & Osseointegration – The implant fuses with the jawbone over a few months.
🔹 Step 4: Abutment Placement – A connector (abutment) is attached to the implant.
🔹 Step 5: Crown/Bridge/Denture Placement – The final custom-made tooth restoration is secured.
