After placement and over the course of several weeks, the process of osseointegration (integration with the bone) occurs and results in the bone of the jaw growing into and wrapping around the implant and holding it firmly in place, the same way the bone holds natural tooth roots. Once stable and strong, a dental crown is placed over the implant with the use of an abutment piece on the top of the screwed in dental implant. Patients can then smile again, eat again, and have the confidence they had before they lost their natural tooth.

Full dentures have a tendency to slip, fit improperly and irritate the gum tissue, resulting in sores and overall discomfort. This keeps many patients from using their dentures, which in turn slowly results in bone degradation and sagging of the facial muscle. Instead, dentures can be kept in place using dental implants, which snap into the full dentures to stabilize them and have them fit tightly into the jaw. Patients can then enjoy their favorite foods once again and not have to worry about losing their dentures at the most inappropriate times, like eating in a restaurant.

Gaps in your smile? Not confident to speak, smile or even eat? Dental Implants from Dr. Lokhandwala are the perfect solution for you! Implants do not only improve the aesthetics of your smile but they also give you the perfect boost of self-confidence!

Dental implants are titanium roots that are placed within the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prostheses 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 advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with lifelike all-porcelain crowns. For more details, ask your dentist.
