Dental ImplantsWhat Are Dental Implants & How Safe Are They?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root
used in dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group
of teeth.
Virtually all dental implants placed today are root-form endosseous implants. In other words, virtually all dental implants placed in the 21st century appear similar to an actual tooth root (and thus possess a "root-form") and are placed within the bone. What Dental Implants Can Do?

Implants FAQ's
Why do I need to get a dental implant placed?
Am I a suitable candidate for dental implant?
You will be a suitable candidate for dental
implant if you fulfill the following requirements:
What are the procedures involved?
The surgery can commence after thorough
diagnosis and treatment planning. A recipient site of the same size and
shape as the implant is created in the jawbone with drilling
instruments. The implant is inserted into the site prepared. Usually, a
healing period of 3 to 6 months is required for the jawbone to fuse with
the implant. The jawbone has different densities in different areas -
the denser the bone, the shorter the healing period. After this healing
period, the prosthesis is constructed over the implant and the treatment
is completed. Usually, a straightforward implant treatment takes about 4
to 7 months to complete. Longer periods are required for complex
situation such as cases requiring bone grafting.
How is the procedure arranged?
The procedure will be performed under aseptic
condition usually in a clinic with the proper facilities and conditions
for dental implant surgery.
Local anesthesia is given for pain control during the procedure. Intravenous can be given if necessary. Pain, which may occur after the procedure, can be effectively controlled with dental medications. The prosthetic part of the implant treatment does not require anesthesia. How successful is the treatment?
Modern dental implant treatment is highly
successful, as a general guideline, the five-year success rate of dental
implant is over 95% with the lower jaw(mandible) and about 90% with
upper jaw(maxilla). The success rates may slowly decrease as the implant
stays longer in function. In difficult cases, the success rates are
expected to be lower. Despite the overall high success rates with dental
implant treatment, there is still the possibility of failure, which can
be contributed by various factors and conditions, such as poor healing
power, poor bone quality, smoking and diabetes.
How long can a dental implant last?
The service life of a dental implant can be
affected by many factors: High standards of treatment, meticulous daily
cleaning by the patient, regular professional maintenance, abstinence
from smoking and avoidance of overloading (like chewing bones, shells,
hard nuts and candies), can contribute to the durability of the oral
implant. In view of the high success of modern dental implant treatment;
an dental implant can be considered a long lasting medical implant that
does not need to be changed.
Is the procedure safe?
Whereas no medical treatment can be guaranteed
100 percent without risks and failures, implant procedure can be
considered very safe. The prosthetic phase of treatment is basically
non-invasive and non -invasive and non-surgical in nature.
