Dental Implants

About Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them, providing a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

At Raj Dental Care, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant solutions using the latest technology and techniques to ensure optimal results and patient comfort. Our experienced team specializes in various implant procedures to address different needs and situations.

Benefits

Natural Look and Feel

Dental implants look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Long-lasting Solution

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.

Preserves Bone Health

Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are missing.

Improved Oral Health

Unlike tooth-supported bridges, dental implants don't require reducing other teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Procedure

A thorough examination including X-rays and 3D scans to assess your oral health and determine if you're a suitable candidate for implants.

Development of a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs, including the number of implants required and any preparatory procedures.

Surgical placement of the titanium implant into the jawbone, followed by a healing period of 3-6 months to allow osseointegration (fusion of the implant with the bone).

Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant to connect it to the replacement tooth.

Finally, a custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.

Quick Information

Duration:
The entire process typically takes 3-9 months, depending on individual healing times and treatment complexity.
Recovery:
Initial recovery from implant surgery takes about 1-2 weeks, with complete healing and osseointegration taking 3-6 months.
Results:
Permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth, with proper care lasting a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report that the procedure is less painful than expected. Local anesthesia is used during the surgery, and any post-operative discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most people with good general and oral health are candidates for implants. However, factors such as bone density, gum health, and certain medical conditions may affect eligibility. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine suitability.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. While implants cannot develop cavities, they can be affected by gum disease, so maintaining good oral hygiene is essential.
