Dental Implants
Dental Implants in Mumbai
Teeth play a vital role in the overall general health and social life of a person. So losing one’s teeth affects the quality of life to a great extent. The most basic being affected is nutrition and taste. Besides this, after loss of teeth the remaining bone also undergoes rapid degeneration.
A dental implant is actually a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed. They are used to secure crowns (the parts of the teeth seen in the mouth), bridgework or dentures by a variety of means.
They are made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible, which means that it is not rejected by the body.
Advantages of Implant
Implants are the most natural looking and stable replacements for lost teeth.
No clasps or visible attachments are required.
No cutting down of adjacent natural teeth is required. Since implants share the functional load during chewing, they contribute to maintaining the health of other teeth.
They do not shift or slip like removable partial dentures or complete dentures.
Nearly the same shade as natural tooth can be acquired.
Provides a long term solution.
With all these benefits, implants are nearly ideal solutions for problems related to loss of teeth, thereby enhancing your confidence and giving you that smile back.

Missing one tooth
A single implant is a very common and regular procedure in our practice. When either the tooth and root are damaged or a tooth is about to be lost, the best permanent replacement is a dental implant in conjunction with crown. It both looks and functions just like a natural tooth. A dental implant to replace one missing tooth is the most natural, cost-effective, least-invasive and long-term tooth replacement. This procedure normally includes one to four visits.
Missing several teeth
Having dental implants replace your lost teeth will give you new, unparalleled strength and stability that will allow you to eat what you want. It will also preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.
In the back of the mouth where bite forces are extremely strong, one implant per tooth is ideal. In the front of the mouth, we may recommend an implant bridge as opposed to individual front teeth implant crowns. The main reason for this is cosmetic. In addition, the bite forces are not as much as the back teeth, so fewer implants can be used.
Missing all teeth
When all teeth are missing or need to be replaced, dental implants are the best permanent solution. Before dental implants, there were no solutions available for people who lost all their teeth besides full dentures. Today, it is possible to replace a full jaw with dental implants and a fixed bridge or implant over-denture that results in a permanent, stable and highly aesthetic solution.
Bone Augmentation
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies (shrinks) or is resorbed. This sometimes leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone not suitable for the placement of dental implants. In these situations, bone grafting is considered. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetics.
Bone grafting procedures may be performed separately or together with implant placement depending upon your bone status. The procedures that are covered are Direct and Indirect Sinus Lifts, Block grafts, Ridge splits and Bone grafting procedures.
