When a tooth is lost due to injury or disease, it can lead to complications like bone loss, impaired speech, and changes in chewing patterns. Dental implants offer a solution by replacing the lost tooth. A dental implant system includes a body, abutment, and sometimes an abutment fixation screw. The implant body is surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as a replacement for the natural tooth root. The abutment extends through the gums to support artificial teeth. Dental implants improve speech, restore chewing ability, and help prevent bone loss.
Dental implants are surgically positioned in your jawbone, where they function as the roots of missing teeth.
According to clinical studies, the success rate of dental implants is 95-98%.
More than 30 million people from age 40-65 are missing all of their teeth in one or both jaws.
Adults who are 35-44 years old have lost at least one permanent tooth.
Dental implants systems are typically made of materials that follow international consensus standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or ASTM International. These standards have details of what makes a safe material. Most dental implant systems are made of titanium or zirconium oxide. Other materials such as gold alloys, cobalt-based alloys, titanium alloys, or ceramic materials are sometimes used. The safety profiles of these materials are well-known.
Dental implant systems are evaluated according to international consensus standards. Biocompatibility testing, to show that bodily contact with the device does not cause complications like irritation or allergic reaction, is part of the evaluation that helps ensure the materials in the dental implant system are safe and do not cause adverse effects when implanted in people.
For manufacturers to market dental implant systems in the United States, they must first show the FDA their systems are as safe and as effective as dental implant systems already on the market.
Even if they suffer chronic diseases at the average level, people who are getting old have no serious problem with the gum, have a good health condition, and can undergo Dental Implants.

Dental Implants provide a natural appearance; it is designed to look like the other teeth in the shape and color.
Yes, it is possible to do it after the tooth extraction.
Yes, since Dental Implants do the natural teeth functions and correspond with tissues, it gives a natural chewing feeling.
Dental Implants are done under local anesthesia, so there is no pain during the operation. However, minor discomfort after the procedure may occur, and it is normal and easy to control by painkillers.
The duration varies depending on the number of implanted teeth. It takes about 10-15 minutes for each tooth. If it is planned to implant the whole mouth, it needs 4-6 roots to install all teeth.
