Dental Implants

The perfect smile is the window to better social relations. A better social life equals a better life. But it’s pretty hard to smile when you don’t feel or look like it.   That is where dental implants can help.

Not everyone was blessed with a Colgate model’s smile. It could be a mix up by the higher powers or an accident which lead to a few missing teeth.

Fret not, all is fair in love and war, the same rule should apply when it comes to teeth. God’s gift to men with imperfect smiles is dentists with brains. With the advancement of technology in dentistry, the perfect smile can be achieved.

Dental implants are basically titanium roots which look a lot like a real tooth used in dentistry to replace a missing tooth. The procedure involves a preparation made into the bone using hand osteotomes or precision drills with highly regulated speed.   Then the implant is placed into the prepared hole.  Once the bone grows on the surface of the implant, a crown can be placed on the implant. And walla! No more missing puzzle pieces to your perfect smile.  The procedure is done under local anesthesia.  Most of the time patients say they felt nothing at all.  The next day there may be tenderness in the jaw that over the counter drugs such as Advil can handle. 

The best part about dental implants is, it’s as good as the real thing as its permanently secured into the jaw like natural teeth! There won’t be any worries as to your teeth shifting out of place like dentures.
