Dental Implants

Our Distinction in Dental Implants

Importance of Dental Implants:

Dental implants represent the most advanced, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing method to replace missing or damaged teeth, in contrast to bridges and removable devices. This procedure involves placing new metallic implants in the location of the missing or damaged teeth, which perform the same function and provide the same appearance as natural teeth. The results are safe and suitable.

Stages of Dental Implantation:

1- Three-Dimensional Radiographic Imaging:

Capturing three-dimensional radiographic images of the teeth.

2- Taking Initial Impressions to Create Models of the Teeth and Jaw:

Electronic Impressions: We use imaging devices and scanners to take electronic impressions without the need for traditional impressions (putty), as they are more accurate, faster, and less burdensome for the patient.

3- Case Study to Develop an Appropriate Treatment Plan:

Analyzing the case to formulate a suitable treatment plan.

4- Preparing the Jaw for Implantation and Ensuring Patient Safety:

Ensuring the patient’s safety to prevent any complications during or after dental implantation.

Dental implants are placed under local anesthesia, similar to other procedures performed in the clinic. The specialist dentist implants one or more teeth as needed to replace missing or damaged teeth.

Treatment Plan for Dental Implants

The treatment plan is devised by the specialist based on three-dimensional images and jaw models. These tools help determine the quantity and size of the bone within the jaws, as well as the angles of the missing or damaged teeth. This information is crucial for selecting the appropriate size and shape of the implant and assessing whether the patient requires any additional procedures before the dental implantation.

Bone Grafting in the Jaw: The specialist may resort to bone grafting if there is insufficient bone to support and stimulate the dental implants.

Jaw Expansion: The specialist may perform jaw expansion if the patient’s jaw is too narrow to provide adequate space for the implants.

Sinus Lift: Neglecting missing teeth in the upper jaw can sometimes lead to the sinuses descending due to bone degeneration or damage. The specialist may perform a sinus lift by grafting bone to restore the sinuses to their natural position.

The types and techniques determined by the specialist for the dental implantation process within the patient’s treatment plan can involve either conventional surgery or laser-assisted procedures. The choice depends on the specific needs and medical assessment of the patient’s case.

Overdentures:

Overdentures are used in cases where there is insufficient bone for jaw implantation, for individuals who prefer not to undergo surgery, or for diabetic patients. The crowns are fitted using a metal framework placed over the jawbone, through which the crowns are secured.

The internal dental implant process involves several stages, each with different procedures:

Implant Placement: The implant is placed within the patient’s jaw under local anesthesia, where the implant is fixed into the jawbone.

Osseointegration: During this stage, the implant integrates and fuses with the jawbone, preparing for the next phase. The upper jaw typically requires more time for osseointegration than the lower jaw, depending on the case.

Abutment Placement on the Implant: Once osseointegration is fully achieved and the gums are healthy, the abutment is placed on the dental implant. This abutment serves as the piece upon which the dental crown will be mounted.

Selecting the Tooth Color and Shape: After ensuring the health and integrity of the gums, the absence of inflammation, and the strong fusion of the jawbone with the implant, a complete impression of the mouth and teeth is taken. This impression is used to select the size and color of the crown, ensuring it fits the smile and matches the remaining teeth.

Internal Implants: This method offers the most aesthetic smile and dental health benefits. It involves implanting a screw into the jawbone to secure crowns. This approach typically depends on the strength and sufficient quantity of bone in the jaw.

Overdentures: Overdentures are used when there is insufficient bone for jaw implantation, for individuals who prefer not to undergo surgery, or for diabetic patients. The crowns are mounted using a metal framework placed over the jawbone, securing the crowns through it.

Dental Crowns and Bridges:

Losing one or more teeth can happen for various reasons, but it is a serious problem. You can address this issue by opting for dental crowns and bridges to replace lost or damaged teeth.
