DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are the most popular solution for replacing missing single tooth or multiple teeth. They have changed the course of dentistry due to their natural and functional resemblance to real teeth. The implant screw used for dental implant is made up of titanium which has a capacity to fuse with the jawbone through the process of osseointegration. The tooth above the implant is finally restored when a healing period of a few months is completed.
What is the right time to get Implants?
As soon as you get your tooth removed /extracted, it is possible to place an implant immediately. After extraction too, a good amount of bone is required for placement of the implant.
Can Implants help me if I wear Dentures?
Implants are the most frequently requested by denture wearers only. They can provide retention & support to removable dentures or dentures can also be fixed in place with the help of implants.
