What is Dental Implant?

Today, Dental implants provide patients with the opportunity to replace missing teeth in a way that achieves permanent, fixed results. Implants themselves are not designed to replace missing tooth structure. These titanium posts, inserted into healthy jawbone by your experienced dentist, replace the missing root.

Advantages of dental implants: The progression of dental techniques and material has significantly improved the look and feel of dentures. However, only dental implants will replace missing roots. As such, dental implants most closely mimic the overall structure of natural teeth.

When teeth are replaced with dental implants and crowns, a bridge, or full denture appliances, functionality and aesthetics are restored to such a degree that even implant patients forget their teeth.

Our team consists of Dr. Munira Lokhandwala and Dr. Maryum Tariq who are highly skilled dentists with decades of dental experience in both cosmetic and general dentistry.

Advantage of Dental
Implants

However, only dental implants will replace missing roots. As such, dental implants most closely mimic the overall structure of natural teeth. When teeth are replaced with dental implants and crowns, a bridge, or full denture appliances, functionality and aesthetics are restored to such a degree that even implant patients forget their teeth are not completely natural.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium roots that are replaced within the jaw bones to resemble a tooth or a group of teeth. A screw is inserted into the gums and into the jaw bone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prestices including crowns dentures and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking no one will know you had surgery. There is approximately a 95 percent success rate for all implants with modern advancements in dentistry some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implant

The cost of implant treatment will vary, depending on the number of missing teeth that require implants. Cost is also dependant on the nature of the individual patient’s case. Some patients may require adjunct procedures to address bone loss before implant placement can be performed. During the initial consultation visit, we assess your needs and discuss overall cost so that you may plan accordingly.
