A dental implant is one of the best and ideal solutions for replacing the missing tooth. The goal of dental implants is to restore the normal function of teeth as well as improve facial aesthetics making it the standard of care treatment for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth.
The best thing about implants is that they act as a replacement for the root of the missing tooth and can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all of the teeth that have been lost.

Dental Implants Types:
On the basis of the type of the procedure involved in placing dental implants, they are categorized as:
- Endosteal implants (in the bone): This type of implant is generally used as an alternative to bridges or removable dentures. This is the most commonly used dental implant. Screws, blades, or cylinders are surgically placed into the jawbone in this type of implant. Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth.
- Subperiosteal implants (on the bone): This type of implant is used for candidates who are unable to wear conventional dentures and who have minimal bone height. These are placed on the top of the jaw with the metal framework’s posts protruding through the gum to hold the prosthesis.
Dental Implant Procedure:
Preparing the jaw for implantation: A titanium screw and a crown is commonly used in a dental implant for its restoration. In order to guide the titanium implant fixture in place, a small diameter hole is drilled at jaw sites where there is no tooth (at edentulous). Dentists use surgical guides created based on the CT scan when placing the implants in many instances.
Note: A teeth implant composes of a surgical fixture that is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over a span of a few months and the process of fusion between the dental implant and jawbone is termed osseointegration.
Placement: After the initial hole has been drilled into the appropriate jaw site, it is slowly widened to allow placement of the implant screw. Surrounding gum tissue is secured over the implant once the implant screw is in place and a protective cover screw is placed on the top to allow the site to heal and osseointegration to occur.
The dentist implant expert in Gurgaon at AK Global Dent will uncover the implant after up to six months of healing and attach an abutment. The dentist will then fabricate a crown when the abutment is in place. The crown serves as a template around which the gum grows and shapes itself in a natural way.
