Dental implant surgery is the most advanced and successful way to replace missing natural teeth that have been lost due to tooth or gum disease. The surgery involves placing metallic anchoring devices into the tooth sockets/jaw bone, that would eventually support a dental crown.
Often, teeth are lost or extracted because of advanced gum disease or decay. Failure to replace these teeth may lead to disturbed dental relationships, reduced chewing efficiency and poor esthetics. The best solution is to replace these teeth by means of prostheses supported by dental implants.
A single tooth dental implant surgery is a simple day-care procedure performed under local anesthesia. It involves raising a small gum flap to insert the dental implant into the prepared tooth socket, followed by closing with one or two stitches.
The implant may be placed immediately after the tooth extraction or a few weeks later, depending on the case. Once the implant has fused with the bone, the crown is then fixed on top of the implant to completely restore the tooth.
The dental implants used at our center are of premium quality, are long-lasting and have the highest success rate.
