What is a Dental Implant made from?

A dental implant is a BIOCOMPATIBLE screw made from TITANIUM, it acts as a replacement for the tooth root, then it is connected with the crown that acts as a replacement of the visible part of the tooth that is above the gum through an abutment system.

How is a dental implant applied?

The dental implant is a painless surgery procedure that is done after several stages:
* First the patient will need a specialist consultation and full evaluation of the case through imaging records (X-rays or CT Scan) that will help the specialist evaluate the quality and quantity of the bone that has to receive the implant.
* The actual insertion of the screw, is the phase where the screw is inserted in the bone under local anaesthesia, meaning that the patient does not feel any pain throughout the process.
* After the insertion of the screw, the healing period starts and takes between 3-6 months (depending on the bone quality), this period is important for the implant to get integrated with the bone, achieving maximum support to determine the success of the surgery.
* Final step: The fitting of the crown (tooth) and regaining the functionality of the missing tooth.

During the healing process, a temporary crown can be fitted for frontal zone to serve the patient aesthetically.

Can i be a candidate?

Treatment with dental implants can be done only after the specialist consultation performing imaging investigations depending on the case needs, such as

1. Full oral examination.
2. Panoramical X-ray.
3. CT scan or medical blood tests might be needed in more complex cases.

A full analysis of the patient’s habits and lifestyle will also be recorded as they have direct impact on the lifespan of the treatment and might compromise the success of the treatment, such as poor oral hygiene, excessive smoking or other cronic diseases.
