Dental Implants in Mumbai

Dental Implants are the replacement of the missing teeth. Implants are the surgical fixtures which are placed in the jawbone and allowed to fuse into the closest jawbone to mimic the natural tooth and implant stands on its own without affecting the nearby teeth. Dental implants in Mumbai is done by the orthodontist Dr. Kothari at Invisible braces.

Dental Implants are made up of Titanium that allows the teeth to integrate with the bone without recognizing the foreign object in the body. Dental Implants are 98% successful with the help of the current improved technology.

Why are implants required?

Implants are required to replace a single or several or all teeth as this helps to restore the function as well as aesthetics. There are three options available for implants:

1. Complete or partial denture
2. Fixed dental bridge
3. Dental implants.

Implants are considered as the most affordable and the easiest option for the replacement as they preserve natural bone helping to stimulate bone growth.

How does the dental implant work?

As the implants are fused in the jawbone it provides the stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures or bridges which are mounted on the implants wont slip or shift instead it has the benefit while eating and speaking.

Implants make you feel more natural than dentures or bridges as they are attached to the either side of the space left by the missing teeth whereas with implants no adjacent teeth need to prepare to hold the new replacement.

For receiving the implants healthy gums and adequate bones are the must to support the implant. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular visit to the dentist is recommended for the success of the implants. Implants can be done of two types:

1. Endosteal Implants– Endosteal are the surgically implanted directly into the jawbone and once the surrounding gum tissues are healed second surgery is needed to connect the post to the original implant and late an artificial tooth is attached to the post or grouped  on the bridge or the dentures.
2. Subperiosteal Implants– Subperiosteal consists of the metal frame which is fitted into the jawbone below the gum tissue and as the gums heal frame starts getting fixed to the jawbone and later the posts which are attached to the frame protrude through the gums. Though this process is no longer in use because of their poor long-term results.
