What are Dental Implants Used for?

Dental implants offer many benefits for people who have lost teeth or need to replace damaged ones. One of the biggest advantages is their natural look and feel, as implants closely resemble real teeth and enhance both your smile and overall facial appearance. They allow for clear speech without the worry of slipping or shifting, and because they are fixed in place, they offer far greater comfort and stability than removable dentures. Implants also function like natural teeth, letting you enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions and boosting confidence with a complete, natural-looking smile.

Another major benefit of dental implants is their long-term impact on oral health. As a permanent solution, implants fuse with the jawbone, helping to stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss after tooth loss. This preserves the natural jaw structure and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. With proper care, dental implants are highly durable and can last for many years. Unlike dental bridges, implants do not require adjacent teeth to be ground down, helping preserve natural teeth. They also do not decay, and there is no need to remove them for cleaning, making them a convenient and reliable tooth replacement option.

Types of Dental Implants

Osstem/Neobiotech Implants

Starting at Rs. 15000

These implants are perfect for people who are missing one or a few teeth. They are surgically inserted into the jawbone and consist of a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root. This post supports a custom-made crown that looks and functions like a real tooth. Single tooth implants provide stability, help prevent bone loss, and fit perfectly with the surrounding teeth.

Straumann Dental Implants

Starting at Rs. 22000

Straumann implants offer a premium solution for dental restoration. Known for their precision, they integrate seamlessly with the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Designed with advanced technology, these implants ensure stability and promote bone preservation. Each implant is custom-made to match your natural teeth, delivering a lifelike appearance.

All-on-2 Dental Implants

Starting at Rs. 55000

The All-on-2 dental implant system is designed to support an entire arch of teeth using just two strategically placed implants. This approach is ideal for patients with significant tooth loss, offering a stable and durable solution. By utilizing only two implants, the All-on-2 system minimizes the need for extensive surgery while maximizing support for the full arch prosthesis. It effectively restores function and aesthetics, making it a practical choice for long-term dental rehabilitation.

All-on-4 Dental Implants

Starting at Rs. 95000

This method is suitable for people who are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws. The All-on-4 technique involves placing four implants into the jawbone to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This approach makes the most of the existing bone, often reducing the need for bone grafting. It also allows for the immediate fitting of a temporary set of prosthetic teeth on the same day as the surgery.

How do Dental Implants compare to Dentures?

Comparison	Dental Implants	Dentures
Bone Health	Helps preserve bone health and prevents bone loss.	May lead to bone decline over time.
Procedure	Involves a surgical process for placement.	Non-surgical, simpler procedure for placement.
Cost	High initial cost but long-term investment.	Generally lower cost but may need more frequent replacement.
Maintenance	Easy to maintain with regular brushing and flossing.	Requires more maintenance and regular cleaning.
Appearance	Implants look very natural and blend with other teeth.	Dentures’ appearance can vary and may look artificial.
Stability	Implants provide high stability and do not shift in the mouth.	Dentures can be less stable and may move around.
Comfort	Dental implants offer high comfort with no irritation.	Dentures provide moderate comfort with potential irritation.

Dental Implant Procedure

The process of placing a dental implant involves several stages.

Stage-1 Placing The Implant

Thanks to modern dentistry, the implant placement procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
The procedure starts with preparing the jawbone, where the surgeon makes a cut to expose the bone and drills holes deep enough for the implant to be securely placed, similar to a tooth root.
If the bone is weak or lacks strength, bone grafting might be necessary. The surgeon then waits for the jawbone to heal before placing the metal post.
This entire process can take several months, mostly spent on healing and waiting for new bone growth.
A temporary crown is provided to fill the gap and achieve an aesthetic look. This crown will be removed later once the bone has properly healed.

Stage-2 Healing

During healing, the jawbone grows and fuses with the implant’s surface in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable base for the new tooth.
This healing period typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on bone health. In some cases, it can be completed in one day if the bone structure is strong.
After osseointegration, a second surgery is scheduled to expose the implant heads. Your dentist will take an x-ray to confirm the implant’s readiness for the next stage.

Stage-3 Abutment Placement

Another surgery might be needed to place the abutment, the piece that connects the crown to the implant. This procedure is relatively simple and usually done with anesthesia.
The dentist reopens the wound to attach the abutment. A temporary crown is placed for 4 to 6 weeks to allow the gums around the abutment to heal. This crown is softer to cushion the implant and help with healing.
It’s advised to eat only soft foods after each surgery stage to aid proper healing.

Stage-4 Placement Of Permanent Crown

In this final stage, the dentist ensures the permanent crown looks just like your natural teeth. The surface texture, color, and shape are finely tuned to match the surrounding teeth.
If you’re unhappy with the crown, your dentist can send it back to the lab for adjustments.
Impressions of your mouth and remaining teeth are taken to make a realistic-looking crown. The crown is placed once the jawbone is strong enough.
It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to create a permanent crown, which is then cemented or screwed to the implant.
After placing the permanent crown, your dentist will provide post-implant care instructions.

Post-Operative Instructions For Dental Implants

Do’s

If you experience bleeding, bite on a gauze pad placed on the bleeding wound for 30 minutes to control it.
Apply an ice pack on your cheek near the surgical area as much as possible for the first 36 hours to minimize swelling.
Use the prescribed oral rinse twice daily—after breakfast and before bed—rinsing for at least 30 seconds and then spitting it out. Also, use warm salt rinses 4-5 times a day to keep the area clean.
Drink lots of fluids, but avoid hot beverages to stay hydrated.
Stick to a soft diet on the day of surgery and gradually return to your regular diet once the surgical area is healed.
Start taking pain medication as soon as you feel the effects of the local anesthetic wearing off.
Rinse the healing abutments frequently and keep them clean. Once the stitches dissolve, gently massage the abutments to clean them.

Don’ts

Do not touch, spit, or rinse the wound on the day of surgery and avoid touching the metal healing abutment.
Do not use or consume tobacco products in any form, as it hinders healing and may increase the risk of implant failure.
Avoid drinking anything using a straw.
Do not engage in exercise immediately after the surgery; if you experience bleeding or throbbing, stop the activity immediately.
Do not use partial or complete dentures or flippers immediately after surgery for a few days.

FAQs of Dental Implants

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants can last a very long time with proper care. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups every 6 months can make the implant screw last a lifetime. However, the crown might need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to wear. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dentist visits are crucial.

What is the recovery time after dental implant surgery?

Recovery time after dental implant surgery differs for each individual, but generally, the initial discomfort lessens within a few days to a week. Full healing, where the implant integrates with the jawbone, may take several months.

How Much Pain is Involved in Getting a Tooth Implant?

During dental implant surgery, local anesthesia is used, so you won’t feel much pain. You might feel some pressure or minor discomfort, but it’s manageable. Afterwards, it’s normal to experience mild soreness, and your dentist will prescribe painkillers to help manage it. Eka Dental Care’s expert implantologist ensures the process is as pain-free as possible.

What happens if my body rejects the implants?

Implant rejection is uncommon, but if it does happen, your dentist will explain the possible reasons and discuss alternative treatment options with you.

Is bone grafting necessary before getting dental implants?

Not everyone needs bone grafting, but sometimes it is required to provide enough bone to support the implant. Your dentist will evaluate your jawbone to determine if this step is necessary before the procedure.

How successful are dental implants?

Dental implants are very successful, with a success rate typically around 95% or higher. This means that with proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years, providing a strong, reliable solution for missing teeth. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to ensuring the longevity and success of your implants.

What should I avoid after getting a dental implant?

After getting a dental implant, avoid smoking, as it can slow down healing. Don’t do any heavy activities that could strain the implant area. Also, try not to touch or disturb the implant site with your fingers or tongue. Follow your dentist’s instructions closely to help the implant heal well and bond with your jawbone. This will help ensure the best results for your new implant.

What foods can I eat after a dental implant procedure?

After a dental implant procedure, start with soft foods to avoid stressing the implant site. Ideal choices include yogurt, mashed potatoes, soup, and smoothies. As your mouth heals, gradually add more solid foods, following your dentist’s advice. Avoid hard or sticky foods like nuts and caramel, as they can disrupt healing. Soft foods like scrambled eggs, pasta, and cooked vegetables support proper healing and your new implant.

What is recovery like after dental implant surgery?

Recovery after dental implant surgery varies. You might have some swelling, minor bleeding, or discomfort for a few days. Painkillers can help manage this. Follow your dentist’s care instructions closely. Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the jawbone. Regular dental check-ups are important to ensure healing is on track. Proper care and oral hygiene are essential for a successful recovery.

How much discomfort will I experience during a dental implant procedure?

Your dentist will ensure you’re comfortable during the dental implant procedure. Local anesthesia is used, so you shouldn’t feel significant pain, but you might feel some pressure and minor discomfort. After the procedure, mild soreness is normal, and painkillers can help manage it. Following your dentist’s care instructions will help reduce discomfort.
