Which Dentist is the Best for Dental Implants in Gurgaon

 If a person has missed one or more teeth, there are several options available to replace them and restore the smile. The least advisable approach is to do nothing about it. Losing a tooth is not only an aesthetic concern, if not replaced on time it could lead to other dental issues and even impact the general health of the individual. Don’t worry! AK Global Dent, the best dental implant clinic in Gurgaon can help one to get a healthy smile with dental implant treatment.

Several factors cause tooth loss, the most common being periodontal disease, physical mouth injury or trauma, and tooth decay or cavities. In addition to gum disease, the risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, smoking, poor nutrition, and arthritis can all result in tooth loss. As a consequence of a missing tooth, the patient may have to suffer from an altered speech, loss of self-esteem and confidence, feeling of bereavement, ineffective mastication as, over time, the adjacent teeth shift into a toothless gap and become misaligned, and collapse of facial structure as the jawbones undergo resorption. 

If one is having a missing tooth, they can seek advice from the best dentist in Gurgaon at AK Global Dent and consider replacing it. This blog covers some common replacement options for a lost tooth. The most appropriate approach would depend upon various other factors that must be discussed with the dentist.

Dental implants

In today’s time, in the field of cosmetic dentistry, the gold standard method of tooth replacement is the dental implant. This is a titanium post that the dentist surgically inserts into the jawbone to replace the roots of the missing tooth. Once it takes its position, the jawbone surrounding the implant grows and fuses with it to secure it. As the site heals, this metal post is mounted with an abutment (a connector piece) followed by a dental crown that serves as a replacement tooth. For the placement of traditional dental implants, it is important to have a sufficient amount of healthy jawbone and gums.

They offer various benefits such as:

• They are reliable prosthesis that lasts for a lifetime when a strict oral hygiene routine is followed and the dentists are seen regularly. 
• These feels, look, and function the same as natural teeth and do not require special care or maintenance.
• The placement of the dental implants does not compromise the integrity of the nearby teeth as they do not require to be filed down or adjusted to hold the replacement tooth. 
• They are fixed prostheses that can improve the eating and speaking ability of the individual and preserve the jawbone. 
• Although they are costly as compared to other tooth replacement options, in long term because of their durability, they are more cost-effective. 

Many alternatives to conventional dental implants have come up like All-on-four dental implants, same-day implants, and mini implants that cut down the time and cost required for tooth replacement and provide minimal discomfort and reduced downtime. 

Fixed partial denture or bridge

Before the dental implants, the standard approach for the replacement of a missing tooth or a series of multiple teeth was the three-unit fixed partial denture or fixed dental bridge made of ceramic or porcelain fused to metal. The traditional bridge is placed by using the two adjacent teeth on either side of the gap as the abutment that is crowned and the dental crowns support a false tooth (pontic). It is a cheaper alternative to dental implants and can be placed without the requirement of long waiting periods, thereby providing normal function and aesthetics to the teeth. Other types of bridges are Cantilever (which connects to an abutment on one side) and Maryland (a resin-bonded bridge that binds the pontic tooth to the metal bands connected to the back of the abutment teeth).

Removable partial dentures

A removable partial denture is composed of an artificial tooth anchored in plastic (i.e. have a gum-colored base) and attached to a metal frame. The metal clasps are hooked onto the nearby natural teeth. In some cases, the adjacent real teeth are capped/ crowned to provide additional support (an anchorage) for the dentures. 

This tooth replacement option in Gurgaon offered at AK Global is the least expensive and is used to regain both aesthetics and tooth functioning. This type of dentures is used when there are remaining natural teeth in the dental arch. It can be cleaned by removing it from the inside of the mouth. But, its use has a lot of disadvantages such as:

• The loosening of the natural teeth.
• Improper fitting inside the mouth over time.
• Issues in stability and comfort while wearing. 
• Greater risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
• Over time, the jawbone lying underneath may deteriorate.
