About Treatment
A dental implant can do wonders for self-esteem, because it feels and looks like a normal tooth. Many people who were shy about smiling because of a space from a lost tooth feel more comfortable after a dental implant. Beyond esthetics, dental implants also makes it easier to eat and speak.
Keeping the 3 most important factors of form, function and aesthetics in mind, dental implants are the ideal solution for replacement of natural teeth. Whether you need to replace few or all of your teeth, you will notice a few striking benefits:
- The ability to bite into and chew foods just like natural teeth is regained. You can enjoy your favourite foods such as meats and nuts, as if you were using healthy, natural teeth.
- Instantly reverses age. With missing teeth, the face has a sunken appearance and a person looks much older than he or she actually is. With dental implants, this is reversed immediately and a well-balanced, natural and radiant smile is gained. This process alone would make one look at least 20 years younger!.
- Lifelong solution. Dental implants are a one-time procedure. Once done, they last a lifetime.
Different stages of Dental Implants
Missing teeth may be replaced with Zirconia Crowns and bridges with the support of an adjacent teeth or an Implant.
Successful replacement of teeth with implants is an extremely 'technique sensitive' process, requiring great expertise. An advanced titanium structure is anchored into the bone where the tooth is to be replaced. This structure acts like a support for the 'crown' or the artificial tooth. These mechanics are exactly similar to how a natural tooth anchors itself, and therefore, dental implants are the ideal replacement solution.
WE ONLY USE THOSE IMPLANT SYSTEMS WHICH MEET THE MOST STRINGENT OF INTERNATIONAL QUALITY STANDARDS.
Time Frame
Depending on the technology used, implants at The Smile World are categorized into 3 types, based on the time required:
-
Two stage implants:
The procedure is carried out in two stages spread over a minimum interval of 3 months. The first stage involves the placement of the implants and requires one to two sessions. The second stage involves the fabrication of the crowns (teeth). This is an obsolete technology and only used in those few cases where single stage implants are clinically not possible.
-
Single stage implants:
The latest in dental implant technology, this involves completion of the entire procedure, right from extractions, implant placements and fabrication of the crowns (teeth) in one stage of approximately two weeks.This system can be used for almost all types and categories of cases.
-
Immediate implants:
This is a specialized technique, allowing teeth to be replaced in a single day. Most cases are eligible for this technique; however, scans and evaluation are required to confirm this. This system is a revolutionary concept that combines precision surgery with specialized implants for immediate results. When it comes to replacement of teeth with implants, each individual has unique needs. Whether it is the extent and quality of the bone, the relation of jaws, an individual's preference, time constraints or budget, there are hundreds of possible situations, each requiring a customized solution. We are well equipped to cater to any situation through our broad range of expertise.
Gentle and Painless Techniques:
In the right hands, implant procedures are absolutely painless and extremely comfortable. Although our experts are aces at surgical precision, they are given further training to carry out the procedures in a manner that is gentle and extremely relaxing for the patient. Combined with a soothing ambience and fresh spa like music, most of our patients sleep through the entire process. We even provide sedation options for patients upon request.
