Dental Implant
What are Dental implant?
Dental implants have become the go-to solution for replacing missing teeth due to their popularity and effectiveness. These titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone, mimicking the function of natural tooth roots. A crown is then attached to the implant to replicate the appearance of a real tooth. Dental implants offer a natural look, feel, and function, resembling your original teeth. The implant itself, usually made of titanium and corrosion-free materials, provides a strong foundation in the bone, similar to a natural tooth root. The abutment acts as a connector between the implant screw and the crown. The crown, made of durable tooth-colored porcelain, serves as an artificial tooth cap that closely resembles natural teeth.
Dental implants have been practiced for over 50 years and are considered the safest and most successful option for tooth replacement.
Permanent & Natural Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants at dental seva
Our area of intervention in Dental Seva is advanced treatments of dental Implantology such that you can regain your smile, confidence and function. A dental implant is a fabricated tooth root prepared from titanium which is surgically fixed into your jaw bone replacing a natural lost tooth root. When the implant is put in, it acts as a stable anchor for stiff or removable replacement teeth (such as crowns or dentures) which have similar appearance, feel and operation as normal teeth. Implants are perfect for the likes of people wanting permanent alternatives to go for bridges or dentures that will look natural.
Process: Step-by-step Dental Implant Treatment
Initial Consultation and Evaluation
Dental implant treatment will start with a full dental examination and X ray as well as 3D-imaging to determine the density of the bone and overall health of the oral cavity. This examination evaluates the option for implants and then allows us to map out your treatment.
Tooth Extraction (if necessary)
In the event that you have a damaged or decayed tooth that we are replacing, we will extract the tooth to prepare the site for a dental implant. In some cases, we may be able to place the dental implant immediately after extraction – providing bone mass permits.
Bone Grafting (if necessary)
Patients with insufficient density in their jawbone may require bone grafting, which is the addition of bone material to the site of implant, to provide a secure foundation for the implant.
Implant Surgery
Your operation will be done under local anesthesia, which means you will be conscious but not in any pain. A minor cut to the gums will open the bone. A small hole is made in the jawbone, then the titanium implant inserted in to the bone
Osseointegration and Healing Time (3-6 months)
The process to integrate the implant with the jawbone is called osseointegration. The implant position in the jawbone serves to stabilize the implant for jaw function. This process is likely to take several months.
Abutment Placement
When healing is complete, an abutment (a connector for attaching a tooth) is placed on the implant. The abutment piece will hold the new tooth in place.
Crown or Dental Prosthetic
Once the abutment is securely in place, a custom crown will be attached to the abutment. The crown is custom designed to match your existing teeth.
After Care and Maintenance
After the procedure, aftercare will require good oral hygiene practices and dental hygiene care, which will be for the longevity of your implant.

Types of Dental Implants Available
Endosteal Implants
Dental implants of this type are the most common. The implant is put inside of the jawbone and is used for most patients.
Subperiosteal Implants
Is placed under the gum but above the jawbone. This kind of dental implants is most common. Endosteal implants are based in the jawbone, which are suitable for most patients.
Subperiosteal implants
Subperiosteal implants lie beneath the gum but above the jaw bone. This kind of implant can be used on patients who lack sufficient height on the bone for an endosteal root implant as well as patients who do not want bone augmentation.
Zygomatic implants
Zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone and used in situations where the upper jawbone is too weak or narrow for a conventional implant and is not immediately placed conventionally, but rather is to be used as a clinically indicated method of restoring a patient’s dentition without needing an augmentation.
All-on-4 implants
All-on-4 implants place a full arch of teeth instead of multiple missing teeth. The four implants are placed in a specific position to place the restorations quickly and reliably.
Immediate loading dental implants
Also called same-day implants, this is a method that allows for the placement of a temporary crown on the same day as the implant is placed.
Single-visit dental implants
Single-visit dental implants support the implantation and insertion of the temporary crown at one appointment while paying attention to efficiency.
