WHY DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth. They are designed to mimic the appearance and function of real teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking smile while helping you chew and speak better again.
They possess exceptional durability that can last a lifetime if properly cared for, and even help to stimulate your jawbones to prevent bone loss.
Furthermore, dental implants do not require future adjustments and are very comfortable on the gums.
OUR DENTAL IMPLANTATION PROCEDURE
The process of getting a dental implant can span several months. It includes the following steps:
- An initial consultation with a dentist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. You’ll need a healthy amount of jawbone to be eligible.
- A customized treatment plan will be created for you based on the number of teeth to be replaced, the condition of your jawbone and your overall dental health.
- The titanium posts of dental implants will be surgically placed into your jawbone. This is performed under local anesthesia.
- You’ll be required to rest for a few months to allow osseointegration to happen after the implant fixture has been inserted into your jawbone.
- A small connector piece called an abutment will be attached to the top of the implant fixture once osseointegration is complete. It serves as the anchor for the artificial teeth.
- Impressions of your teeth and gums will be taken to create a customized dental crown that matches the size, shape and color of your natural teeth.
The custom-made artificial teeth will be attached securely to the abutment, completing your dental implant procedure.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
- Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush
- Use low-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the implant
- Floss between teeth daily
- Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings
- Follow post-surgical instructions provided by your dental surgeon

Frequently Asked Questions for Dental Implants
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial teeth used to replace natural teeth that have been lost. They are meant to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, and are especially useful when a patient has lost one or more teeth.
Who is a suitable candidate for dental implant surgery?
Most individuals with good oral and general health are suitable. Smokers, or patients with medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure can receive dental implants too, provided that their condition and health are under control. Patients with osteoporosis, have had head and neck radiotherapy for cancer, or has medical conditions that are not under control should look at other alternatives. Do consult a dental surgeon to assess your eligibility.
When is the best time to consider a dental implant?
The best time for dental implant surgery depends on individual circumstances. If a patient is suitable for dental implants, the best time is as soon as possible after tooth removal. But even if the patient has had the tooth removed for many months, or even years, it is not too late to get dental implants. However, if the tooth has been missing for quite a while, additional procedures may be required.
Why dental implants instead of other treatment options?
Dental implants are stable, comfortable, and convenient. Patients do not have to worry about their false teeth dropping out when eating or speaking, the implants feel natural, and there’s no need to remove them every day like dentures. There are also no additional cleaning tools required in order to care for them.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, patients will usually only experience very minimal discomfort. Any post-surgery discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
What is osseointegration and why is it important?
Osseointegration refers to the process where the implant fuses with the jawbone. It provides stability and support for the artificial tooth and is extremely important to ensure successful implants.
Is there a risk of dental implant failure?
Implant failure is rare, but can occur due to factors like poor oral hygiene, smoking, or underlying health conditions. Do consult your dental surgeon and follow their instructions to maintain your dental implants.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime.
