Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of bio-material which is surgically placed in the socket of the lost teeth to carry a tooth replacement. The material is generally pure titanium or titanium alloy, which is completely accepted by the human body.

The dental implant is normally shaped as a screw or cylinder. The aim during installation of any implant is to achieve close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.

In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted. Furthermore, these provide the foundation for support of crowns, bridges or dentures.

Stages for routine dental implants

  • Consultation, diagnosis and treatment planning
  • Implant placement is followed by 6 weeks to 6 months healing period. Often the implants are completely hidden beneath the gum; in the one-stage procedures implants are visible from the time of placement. Stitches are normally removed 7 to 10 days after the implant placement.
  • Several visits may be needed over the following few weeks to adjust temporary teeth or dentures and to monitor healing.
  • Once the implants have healed, your surgeon will be ready to connect the teeth.
  • In some cases the first teeth fitted to your implants are not the final ones, but replicas of the intended design. This stage can be used to assess the implants, control early loading and in areas where aesthetics are more critical, also give the gums time to mature around each implant before final teeth are fitted.
  • Final teeth are normally fitted between 3 and 9 months after the implants were first placed.
  • Regular examination and hygiene appointments are then all that is required to maintain the health of the mouth, teeth and implants.
