A missing tooth can impact your life in many different ways. It may impact the way you chew or pronounce words, in addition to affecting how you view yourself as an individual. Many individuals report that they hide their smiles after they have lost a tooth or become self-conscious about their appearance. At Hyderabad Smiles, we feel very strongly that every person should be confident and comfortable expressing their smile, which is why dental implants are some of the most effective methods available today to help achieve this goal.
Dental Implants are Artificial Root Systems
The dental implant is a man-made tooth root system constructed out of durable, safe titanium. When placed in the jawbone, the titanium dental implant is put in place and, over time, will incorporate naturally in the jawbone, thus becoming as strong as a natural tooth root. Once the healing process is completed, a personalized crown is attached to the implant; the entire dental implant system will feel and appear like a natural tooth, and most patients will not even remember that they had a missing tooth.
Unlike temporary restorations, dental implants will not shift or become dislodged when chewing or speaking, and they also maintain the health of the jawbone by providing the necessary stimulation to maintain its strength and density in the same manner that natural teeth do. This reduces the risk of bone loss that occurs in many people who fail to treat their teeth.
The Reasons So Many People Use Implants
The primary reason people choose dental implants is that they are about as good as having a new set of natural teeth. You can chew easily and enjoy eating, be able to talk clearly with friends and family, and be able to smile without worrying about other people seeing your tooth gap or other issues. Because the implants are anchored in the jawbone, they will not move around and fall out like some other types of dentures. Many patients who receive implants find that their new replacements will last for many years, if not for life, with good oral hygiene practices.
Another important factor that encourages patients to consider getting dental implants is the confidence they provide. Many patients that we have treated say they start smiling in pictures again, going back to eating without the fear of what will happen if they accidentally bite into something hard or have their dentures slip around, and regaining their sense of self with dental implants.
Different Implant Options Available with Hyderabad Smiles
Every smile is special, as well as each patient’s circumstance. Therefore, we offer many different types of dental implant options in Hyderabad Smiles, depending on the patient’s specific needs. Some patients will only have one tooth replaced; others may require the replacement of several teeth or the complete restoration of their full mouth.
Traditionally, dental implants are inserted directly into a healthy jawbone. However, patients with insufficient bone may need to undergo surgery to place implants above the bone, or use custom-made implants designed specifically for people with significant amounts of bone loss. In addition, we offer complete restoration of an entire mouth (full mouth rehabilitation) through innovative techniques that provide a minimally invasive approach to placing a limited number of implants and supporting specially fabricated sets of teeth. This option is especially advantageous for those who have lost most of their teeth, as well as for individuals who have been struggling to wear removable dentures.
How the Treatment Process is Designed
At Hyderabad Smiles, the dentist will assess your dental health, including looking at your x-rays, oral examination findings, taking digital impressions, and understanding your goals regarding having dental implants. Once this information has been obtained, our dentist will create a customized implant treatment plan based on your unique situation and needs.
After your implant plan has been established, you will have an implant procedure completed in a controlled surgical setting. The majority of patients experience little to no discomfort during their implant procedure, due to the use of local anesthesia. After the completion of the implant procedure, an extended healing and integration (bonding) phase takes place prior to the patient being fitted with their final prosthesis. This part of the process is crucial in ensuring that the dental implant is strong and stable during the life of the prosthetic.
Understanding Your Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of dental implants is very important for many patients. Many factors impact the cost of dental implants, including:
- The number of dental implants needed
- The type of dental implant used
- The type of crown being used
- The materials being used to create the crown
- Whether there will need to be additional treatments, such as bone grafting prior to the placement of the dental implants
In Hyderabad, most patients can find a reasonable cost for a single dental implant. From the very beginning of your treatment at Hyderabad Smiles, you will receive a comprehensive treatment plan and an estimated cost so that you can make an informed decision without any last-minute surprises.
