DENTAL IMPLANTS IN INDIA
A dental implant is basically a titanium screw, which is placed in the jaw bone to replace the root of a missing tooth. The process of performing a tooth implant is quite technique sensitive and should be done by only highly qualified and experienced dental implant specialists in India. We consider an implant the best replacement for a missing tooth because:
- It is the most conservative replacement for a missing tooth, as the adjacent teeth are not touched, unlike in a bridge.
- It is the only replacement for a missing tooth which stabilizes the underlying bone.
- It is as good as a natural tooth in terms of efficiency of chewing, looks and ease in speech.
- If maintained by the patient, the implant can last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are metal post made of titanium. They are inserted into the jawbone to replace the root portion of the missing teeth over which crowns are placed. They are permanent replacements for missing teeth that look and function like natural teeth. These are as closest to natural teeth as can be.
You can consult your dentist to check whether you are a good candidate for dental implants. The dentist will evaluate you clinically and may want to make some x-rays of your teeth and jaws. Dental implants are a good option for you if you have lost one, several or even all of your teeth. In general, you must be in a good health and maintain good oral hygiene. Chronic illnesses such as uncontrolled diabetes or leukaemias, may interfere with healing after surgery. Patients with these issues may not be good candidates for implants.
Of all the tooth replacement options available, the Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They have a chewing capacity of 95% of the natural teeth. Your speech is as normal as with natural teeth. It is the only replacement where the integrity of the natural bone is preserved, hence there is no bone loss. Unlike bridge which depends upon the adjacent teeth for its strength, implant is an individual identity and does not depend on adjacent teeth for its success.
The initial clinical consultation with the patient is important. Then the dentist requires a Panoramic View (Digital x-ray) of the mouth to see the condition of the bone and teeth. Also a CBCT full mouth scan is required to see the soft tissues and bone density around the area where implant is to be placed.
The dental implant is surgically placed in your jawbone where they serve as the roots of missing teeth. Only specialists who have undergone training and certifications in implant dentistry can place implants. The long term success of the implant also depends on the type of implant, sterilization and expertise of the dentist.
