Dental Implants
Dental Implants
Dental implants can be performed for both single tooth and multiple teeth. The process is performed under the general anesthetic in a hospital or while being seated on a dental chair under local anesthetic. You will receive a detailed consultation from us as we like our patients to be informed about the entire process including the cost for the treatment, time preferences and type of treatment, etc. before we refer you to one of our experienced and caring general dentists to proceed with dental implants treatment.
For most, the dental implants are so real that it is difficult for others to distinguish between their natural teeth and the recently fixed dental implants.
There are different types of dental implants available. You can decide which one would best work for you in the consultation process.
Conventional Dental Implants
The conventional implants offer long-lasting solutions for missing teeth. In this process, the implants comprise three components – the implant that is fixed in the jawbone, the metal abutment which is screwed in the implant to fix it, and finally a crown that resembles your teeth. There are hundreds of patients who have undergone conventional implants in our clinic, and are enjoying in performing their daily activities without any concerns.
Immediate Dental Implants
Immediate Dental Implants
In the regular process of conventional dental implants, a waiting period of at least 3 to 6 months is observed between placing an implant and replacing the teeth. However, in Immediate Dental Implants, the implant and the replacement teeth are placed at the same time. This is an instant process, and the patient can go back home with their old tooth replaced with a new one, the same day in most cases.
A thorough medical, clinical and radiographic evaulation needs to be conducted to determine the sustainability of getting dental implants.
Bone Grafting Dental Implants
All on 4 dental Implants
All on 4 dental Implants
Usually, single implant-supported dentures and dental implants need at least 3 to 6 months to heal before they can be enabled to function orally. However, at Healthy Smiles, you can get multiple implants in just 3 days. Our general dentists or expert dentists are not just compassionate but also experts at their work. They will complete the process quickly and skilfully. The permanence of dental implants is accomplished across the rigid prosthetic bridge by dispensing its weight over 4 to 6 dental implants.
When compared to traditional dentures, the full-arch implant dentures offer several benefits. Once they are ready to use they offer benefits like greater comfort, taste of texture of food because the palate is exposed to food, improved speech, ability to eat food in a better way, and finally it looks far more natural and aesthetically pleasing compared to the traditional dentures.
Dentures
Dentures are false plates or teeth. They can either be partial or full. In partial dentures, one or more teeth require to be replaced whereas in full dentures the dentist would have to replace all the teeth present in one jaw or both the jaws of the patient, as the condition requires. A denture is a removable prosthetic device that is used to replace missing teeth and prevent any gum loss associated with it.
Things You Should Know About Dental Implants

1. What are dental implants?
There are three parts in dental implants:
A screw that is placed inside the bone
An abutment which is a connecting piece that connects the prosthetics to the implants

4. What are the advantages of dental implants over dentures or bridges?
An individual tooth remains solitary in dental implants, and if something goes wrong with it in future, it can be treated by the dentists without causing any damage to the teeth around it.
Dentures are a removable set of teeth that can be put on or removed at your will. The level of ease entirely depends on the patient and how comfortable they are in having them on and taking care of them.
Conventional bridges require cutting your natural teeth and at least three or more teeth are joined together in the procedure. In the future, if there are problems in the teeth, then the entire bridge will have problems.
5. Can anyone get dental implants?
5. Can anyone get dental implants?
People of all ages with enough bone tissue willing to get their smiles rectified through dental implants can undergo the process. A thorough medical, clinical and radiographic evaulation needs to be conducted to determine the sustainability of getting dental implants.
However, if they do not have enough jaw bone then (usually caused because of long term tooth/teeth loss) can undergo the gum bone grafting and/or bone grafting procedures prior to the dental implants surgery.
6. What if I have no bone at all for dental implants?
For patients who do not have any bone, we enhance the site by adding some bone prior to the dental implants. The process can be quick if it is done at the same time and placed at the same time but however can vary from 3 to 9 months if bone grafting needs to be done prior to placement as well.

8. How long will dental implants last?
With proper oral care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants will last you a very long time. However, there are several patients for who the implants were required to be changed after a few years, but that is because they did not visit the dentist when required and did not take proper care of their new set of teeth.
There are different factors that play an important role in determining the longevity of dental implants, for which a dentist is not responsible, such as – genetics, nutritional requirements, medications and conditions that may compromise the quality of bone over time, oral bacteria, poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, etc.
Therefore, it is difficult to foretell any patient individually about how long their dental implants would last them. The success of dental implants mostly depends on how you lead your life post the treatment. Rest assured, Healthy Smiles will offer you the high-quality materials for prosthetics and the Quality dentists to perform the procedure on you.
On average, they should last you anywhere between 5 and 20 years
9. What is the success rate of dental implants?
9. What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants placed in the lower jaw have a high success rate about 98% over 5 years.
Implants placed further at the back of the mouth have a fairly lesser success rate, yet it is about 90% over 5 years. For people who smoke, consider this success rate to drop by 30%.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Dental Bridges?
Usually there are 4 main types of dental bridges available and they are as below:
The first is the Conventional Bridge which is suitable for patients who have natural teeth present on either side of the gap created by the missing tooth. The process requires reshaping of teeth on both the sides of the gap so space can be created to cement crowns on them using a pontic in between them, so it can take the place of the missing tooth.
The second is a Cantilever Bridge and it is appropriate to implement on a person who has an adjacent tooth on just one side of the lost tooth/teeth. The pontic in this case is sustained by a single side by one or two crowned abutments. This is subject to the support needed by the pontic or the length of the bridge.
The third type of dental bridge is a resin-bonded bridge known as Maryland Bridge. It is a more conservative substitute to traditional dental bridges. They comprise a single pontic which is supported in place by a porcelain or metal framework known as a wing. Composite resin cement is used to bond the framework behind the tooth adjacent to the missing tooth. Usually, some amount of tooth may have to be removed from the back surfaces of the teeth to make some space for the framework to fit.
The fourth and the most suitable forms of tooth replacement are Implant-Supported bridges. Biocompatible titanium implants are surgically embedded in the jawbone to secure the restoration. One dental implant replaces one missing tooth. Alternatively, a pontic is placed between two implant-supported crowns. The procedure is both invasive and expensive and requires more time than the other treatments offered, but the results are truly amazing. Moreover, this option is considered to be a one-time investment as these implants would last you for a lifetime.
Which materials are used to make dental implants?
Dental implants are made of a biocompatible material as these types of materials are accepted by the body. Titanium is a strong metal and gives the replaced teeth a strong foundation. They are long-lasting and have a high success rate.
Another material that is commonly used instead of titanium is zirconia.
The crowns attached to the implants are usually made of all-ceramic or high-grade porcelain fused to expensive metals such as gold.
Who can get dental implants?
The dentist, oral surgeons or prosthodontists advise you about the options in dental implants that would best suit your condition. Our doctors are very gentle in handling the patients and try to save the damaged tooth but for cases where the tooth cannot be saved they advise an extraction and an implant.
Some aspects that are checked for in a patient who requires a dental implant include good oral hygiene, fulfilling some common medical requirements and having good bone quality along with proper volume. However, if the patient doesn’t meet the latter requirement a bone grafting can help solve this problem.
What are the benefits of getting dental implants?
Besides giving your face a pleasing look, dental implants also offer functional benefits of chewing food, providing support to the gums, etc. When you lose a tooth, it doesn’t just leave a gap in your jaw but also impacts the other teeth. The remaining teeth tend to shift to the space of lost tooth, causing your cheeks and lips to sink. It also causes discomfort, problems to chew food, and speech issues.
A dental implant is fixed on the bone and is independent from the other teeth. So, if the dental implant has problems, then the implant will alone be affected by the issue and the other teeth will remain safe. Our specialists are amazing at assessing problematic areas. Once they examine the issue, they take the necessary steps to fix the problem without affecting the other teeth.
Earlier the only solution for patients, who had several teeth missing from their jaw, was dentures. However, dental science has advanced over the years and the materials and tools available to execute dental jobs are of high quality. Patients have more treatment options especially when they need to replace their teeth. There is nothing better than getting dental implants if you wish to replace missing tooth or teeth because they are long lasting and, if maintained well, will last you a lifetime.
What is the procedure of getting dental implants?
- A detailed examination of the patient’s dental and medical health along with a bone density assessment and test for sinuses is performed.
- Before the implants are loaded the area of the missing tooth is prepared for the treatment. The quality and health of the surrounding gums are also determined.
- Titanium screw is placed and the area is left to heal for at least two or three months. However, there are other procedures in dental implants where the healing process is omitted and the cap is placed on the same day.
- The implant is surgically exposed, and then a healing cap placed over it.
- Our experts take impressions that are sent to the laboratory. The impressions are used to make a dental crown. The crown is made to look like your original set of teeth, even the color is matched carefully.
- After two weeks, the healing cap is removed, and the dental crown is placed over it.
- Since the dental implants are biocompatible they merge with the surrounding bone and function exactly like the root of a tooth.
The oral health doctors of our clinic understand that a patient is usually under stress or anxiety about having to go through this process. This is why they explain the procedure beforehand. All our oral health practitioners are compassionate and kind. If they find you feeling anxious about the treatment, they ensure that they make you comfortable before they take you through the treatment.
How much does it cost for dental implants?
Healthy Smiles provides durable dental implants which can cost on an average between $4,000 and $7,000. The bill varies for every patient and would depend on the number of implants, type of implant used, extraction, usage of dentures or dental bridge, charges of the prosthodontist or oral surgeon, etc. To ease out your tension of having to pay a huge bill, we also offer some dental payment plans so you can pay the bill in instalments. Our dental implant experts will give you a rough estimate of the expenditure that you would incur before you can begin the treatment.
Who performs the procedure of dental implants?
At Healthy Smiles, a general dentist will take you through a consultation process. The treatment will be done by our highly skilled dentist, who are experts in providing high quality dental implants.
