Dental Implant is a surgery-based treatment that helps to replace your missing teeth with artificial teeth that appear to be natural teeth. In a Dental Implant surgery, the surgeon infuses stain-resistant materials and is paired with natural-looking crowns for a more youthful look. They improve your appearance and self-esteem. Dental implants can restore the structural integrity of your face. Dental Implants will enhance your eating and speech abilities.
These artificial implants infused by the surgeon hold a replacement tooth or bridge. The implant looks natural in its own way and also doesn’t affect the nearby teeth and has great stability. Osseointegration is the process of fusion between dental implant and Jawbone. In this process the dental implant tends to stimulate the bone to form, this helps it to last much longer. Our dental surgeons mainly opt for titanium, as it allows the implant to integrate with the bone without being recognized as a foreign object in our body. Over time with medical and dental advancements the outcomes of dental implants have drastically improved with a success rate close to 98% in the surgery and treatment.
Dentures are the most affordable treatment option for the restoration of teeth. The dentist places a removable appliance in the mouth that can be taken out to brush and clean. But there is a big list of disadvantages with these Dentures and that is the reason why expert Dentists do not recommend them.
Dentures tend to sunk the cheek and affect bone loss. Due to space between the denture and oral tissue, it tends to increase bacteria. Dentures also affect the taste buds and speech of a person which indeed is an embarrassment in social gatherings. As patients cannot eat certain kinds of foods they develop malnutrition issues as well. Also, these teeth have to be realigned or restructured after a few years.
Compared to dentures dental implants are the best option as the prosthetic looks natural and stays for life with very minor dental checkups.
Implants neither affect your teeth nor your taste buds which indeed helps you to lead a healthy routine. As these implants blend with the bone over a period there is no issue with any bacteria formation. Once the treatment is completed dentists claim that patients can get back to their routine within a span of 3-6 months which is a great opportunity for a healthy lifestyle.
Our expert surgeons and dentists at Jal dental clinic firstly examine the areas to be considered for the Dental Implant to suggest better treatment options. Not every missing tooth requires an implant. Implant treatment depends on the patient's health condition and other dental problems as well. Once our dental surgeons confirm implant treatment then our surgery procedure starts. Implant surgery 1st starts with a 3D CT scan/Radiography.
Dentists place the implant after all the scans are made. The implant is placed in the jaw bone and is covered with gums. It is a complete Zero pain surgery as the treatment is performed under LA or IV sedation.

As mentioned above the prosthetic takes 3-6 months of time to heal and blend into the Jawbone completely. A lot of patients see this as a negative side as dentures seem to be an immediate solution. Yet Implants are a lifetime treatment with which you can lead a happy and healthy life/social life, while dentures seem to be a simple treatment procedure but patients turn with a list of problems and complications.
After the healing process is completed, Dentists then place the abutment, a screw resembled material which is an extension of the implant to place the crown (an artificial tooth). Depending on the patient situation, our dentists suggest Zirconia Abutment or Metal Abutment. Metal abutments are visible in some cases, whereas Zirconia Abutments offer an aesthetic look as they are white in color and are often not noticeable.
The final stage of the treatment would be to place crowns. After educating the patient our dentists conclude what type of crown to use. Porcelain crowns are the suggested crown type by our dentists for this Dental implant procedure. These crowns are fused with metal (underneath the teeth). A porcelain crown is fabricated in our own dental laboratory to match the exact shape and color of the patient teeth. And the end, our expert dentist provides a complete Digital Scan of the Implant.
Dental implants are artificial teeth that replace damaged or missing teeth. They are considered the standard of care for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth in dentistry. These dental implants are the best alternative for dentures. Dental implants involve surgery that helps in making your teeth look natural and real. Implants are more or else a one-time surgery option that stays for your entire life for a better living, as damaged or missing tooth reduces your confidence and functionality also leading to other serious problems. We help you with the best Dental implant treatment procedure.
Because of all these advantages, dental implants provide excellent long-term value and can be a terrific investment in long-term oral health.
Dental implants can almost be forgotten about once they have been placed and the site has healed. Because implants resemble your natural teeth in so many ways, they are largely hassle-free, leaving you with the mental space to live your life and enjoy it.
Routine blood examination, CBCT scan and OPG are conducted to determine the fitness and feasibility to use the procedure. The entire treatment is done under antibiotic coverage.
Our surgeon inserts the implant into the jaw bone. Then the surgeon covers the implant with gum tissue to allow the implant to heal properly. Placing a single implant may take as little as 30 minutes, while a complex surgery requiring multiple replacements can take more than 1-2 hours. The entire procedure is done under local anaesthesia and is pain-free.
The entire process takes around 4-6 months and is done in two stages. Dental implant surgery is often done in several stages, requiring the jawbone to heal completely around the implant before more work is done.
This visit involves fabrication of crown over the integratded dental implant screw.
Measurements and impressions are taken for the same and sent to the laboratory.
Take prescribed medication as advised. Apply an ice pack from outside after the procedure to aid in the healing process.
Avoid brushing the surgical site for the first few days, but then begin to carefully clean this area with a toothbrush as well, once tenderness permits.
Hot salt mouthwashes (a cup of hot water with a teaspoon of salt) are very beneficial for healing in the first week.
Try to keep food away from the surgical area for as long as possible. Rinse following eating to keep the area clean.
You are advised not to smoke until the wound has healed, as this severely limits healing in the mouth.
Take care to only have cold drinks and do not eat until the local anaesthetic has worn off.
Try not to disturb the area with your tongue or fingers. Do not undertake strenuous exercise (eg running / gym) for the first 48 hours.
You may have some swelling and/or bruising following your treatment This is quite normal and both will subside naturally after a few days. Swelling can be reduced with ice packs (or a bag of frozen peas) wrapped in a towel.
Although you may be sore for a few days after any surgery in your mouth, this can be easily managed with simple analgesics (painkillers).
If you have a denture that covers the surgical area, please wear it as little as possible for the first week to protect the surgical site during its initial healing period. You should always leave the denture out at night.
The stitches are dissolvable but often remain for around two to three weeks. If they are uncomfortable or annoying, you may contact us to remove them.
Some minor bleeding after surgery in the mouth is perfectly normal.
You should contact us if bleeding persists for any reason .
If you have been given a course of antibiotics to take after your surgery, please ensure that you complete the course.
