Dental implants

Dental implants are biocompatible, surgically placed devices that serve as artificial tooth roots to support prosthetic restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. They are designed to restore function, esthetics, and oral health in patients with missing teeth.

Clinical Objectives Include:

1. Tooth replacement: Providing a stable and long-term solution for single or multiple missing teeth.
2. Preservation of alveolar bone: Preventing bone resorption that commonly occurs after tooth loss.
3. Restoration of function: Re-establishing proper chewing efficiency, speech, and occlusion.
4. Esthetic rehabilitation: Supporting restorations that mimic natural teeth in appearance and proportion.

Procedure Overview

• Assessment and planning: Comprehensive evaluation of bone quantity, quality, and overall oral health, often with radiographic imaging or CBCT scans.
• Surgical placement: Insertion of a titanium or zirconia implant into the alveolar bone.
• Osseointegration: A healing period during which the implant fuses with the surrounding bone to provide stable support.
• Restoration: Attachment of a prosthetic crown, bridge, or denture once osseointegration is achieved.

Objective:
To provide a durable, functional, and esthetically pleasing replacement for missing teeth while preserving oral structures and supporting long-term oral health.
