We offer expert dental implant services to provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They offer a strong foundation for replacement teeth, ensuring natural appearance and functionality. Using advanced techniques, we aim to restore your smile and oral health with optimal outcomes.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous benefits, making them a preferred choice for tooth replacement:
- Replacing Missing Teeth: Ideal for those who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or periodontal disease. Implants provide a durable and natural-looking solution.
- Preserving Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often follows tooth loss.
- Enhancing Functionality: Implants offer superior stability, improving your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
- Improving Aesthetics: Custom-made to match your natural teeth, implants enhance your overall appearance.
- Maintaining Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
The Dental Implant Procedure
Our dental implant process at Dr. Sabharwal’s Dentistry is designed for precision and patient comfort. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your jawbone health and suitability for implants. We discuss your medical history and treatment goals to develop a personalized plan.
- Treatment Planning: A comprehensive treatment plan outlines each step, the type of implant, and the timeline. This plan is customized to your specific needs.
- Surgical Placement:
- Preparation: Local anesthesia or sedation is administered for your comfort.
- Implant Insertion: A small incision in the gum exposes the jawbone, where the implant is placed. A temporary tooth may be placed over the implant site in some cases.
- Healing Period: The implant integrates with the jawbone over several months, creating a solid foundation for the new tooth.
- Abutment Placement: After the implant bonds with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant, securing the replacement tooth.
- Crown Placement: A custom-made crown, matching your natural teeth, is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
- Post-Procedure Care: We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including oral hygiene practices, dietary recommendations, and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and implant longevity.
