Tooth loss can have serious ill effects on oral health. Lost tooth can invite many dental problems and reduce the ability of a person to bite and chew food. Dental implants are among the popular and most effective tooth replacement appliances. The implants replace the root of a lost tooth and act as an anchor to dental crowns which are fit over it.

What are the problems caused from tooth loss?Tooth loss may occur from tooth decay, gum diseases or from an injury. Tooth loss can cause a number of problems in a person. The empty space created by missing tooth creates an imbalance in forces exerted on other existing teeth. This can push the teeth nearby to move towards the empty space.

When few teeth are lost, the jaw bone starts to shrink because of lack of stimulation from teeth. This can cause the facial skin to sag due to lack of necessary support. There may be psychological effects on the person when front tooth is lost. The gap created by lost tooth may be unsightly which can force a person to hide his/her teeth when smiling.

Dental Implant SurgeryAlmost any person who is free from medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, heart diseases can undergo dental implant surgery. The jaw bone of the patient should be thick and long enough to hold the implants. X-rays are taken to check the status of the jaw bone and make sure that the patient is fit for dental implant. In conditions where jaw bones are not very healthy our dentist may help patients with alternative treatment procedure. Our dentist checks the condition of gums before planning the dental implant procedure. Once our Implant dentist confirms that the patient is fit to undergo the surgery a treatment plan is set. The placement of dental implant is a step-by-step process which is performed in the presence of local anesthesia.

An incision is made in the gums to expose the jaw bone. Hole is drilled in the jaw bone to make space for placement of dental implant. The implant is carefully placed in the jaw bone and the gum tissues are stitched back. The implant is left to heal. During the healing period, the implant forms a bond with the jaw bone. This process is called osseointegration. The process takes several months. The abutment and dental crown are then fit over the implant. The dental crown is designed to resemble natural teeth. By the end of the treatment, patients will have beautiful tooth replacement which is supported by dental implant.
