Dental Implants
Dental implants (or teeth implants) are easily the most popular and ideal solution for replacing missing teeth. They have changed the course of dentistry in the last quarter of a century or so.
A Dental Implant (or teeth implant) is a titanium post or screw which is surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line to work as a tooth root. Post insertion, an implantologist will attach a crown on top of the Implant to ensure the appearance of a natural tooth.
Types of Dental Implants

2. All-on-4 Dental Implants

WHY DENTAL IMPLANTS?
One can face the problem of missing teeth at any point in life. Tooth loss can be due to Trauma, Accident, Severe gum disease, Tooth decay, or Poor oral hygiene. If left untreated, missing teeth can lead to various consequences, such as:
■Speech problems resulting from the gap created by one or more missing teeth
■Difficulty in chewing
■Pain in the facial muscles of the jaw resulting in an improper bite induced by the missing teeth.
■Tooth decay and gum disease, over time, due to plaque accumulation & food entrapment in the gap caused by the missing teeth.
■ Improper bite resulting from a tilt of adjacent teeth into the empty spaces caused by a missing tooth.
■ Untreated missing teeth may change the facial appearance, causing low self-esteem or lack of confidence.
■Hiding a smile during conversations or at public gatherings to avoid the embarrassment caused by a bad smile from missing teeth.
