Dental implants are surgical procedures performed on the patient’s jawbone. They act as roots to your teeth in the form of screws drilled to your jawbone. Once the implant is settled and held firmly by the jawbone, a replacement tooth is then retrofitted on the implant giving it the look & feel of a natural tooth.
Dental implants in Jayanagar are generally performed on an out-patient basis. At Power Smiles Dental, a detailed assessment and monitoring of your oral health is initiated which continues till the healing of the procedural area, the entire process is done meticulously and with great care.
A very integral part of the implant assessment is the evaluation of your jawbone. If your jawbone is found to be soft or fragile, then an additional procedure called bone grafting might be suggested. A bone graft is generally done to strengthen the volume and increase the density of the bone to make it implant ready.
Your oral surgeon will excise the gum until your jawbone is exposed. This is followed by drilling holes into the jawbone to place the implant in or on the jawbone; this depends upon the type of implant one chooses. An abutment in the form of connectors is first placed onto the implant. An abutment acts as the connecting part between your jawbone and the actual implant.
Subperiosteal (on the bone) implants are fixed on top of the jawbone unlike endosteal implants. This type of dental implants procedure is performed on people who exhibit low bone density and strength.
