Introduction
Dental implant is a small titanium screw that
fits inside your jawbone and replaces the
root-part of a missing tooth. Once the implant is
attached during minor surgery, a crown is
attached to give you a highly realistic-looking
and functional prosthetic tooth. It is important
to have healthy gums and jawbone to get implants.
If your jawbone is too thin or weak it can easily
break when the implants are to be fixed on your
jaw. If the bone is not high enough to fix an
implant or if the sinuses are placed too close to
one another, then a sinus lift is required.

Reasons for Dental Implants

• Replace one or more missing teeth without
  affecting adjacent teeth.
• Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by
  teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
• Restore a patients confident smile.
• Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
• Restore or enhance facial tissues.
• Support a bridge or denture, making them more
  secure and comfortable.

Procedure of Placing the Implant

1. The screw-like implant is firstly placed in
your jaw and it is then left for the next two to
six months, depending on the patient, to bond
with your jaw so that it can provide an anchor to
the prosthetic tooth attached on top of it.
During this period a fake tooth is placed on top
of the implant for cosmetic purposes. 2. In the
second step, the implant is uncovered by the
temporary tooth and a prosthetic is attached to
it. In some cases, after the uncovering of the
temporary tooth, the prosthetic is allowed to
rest and heal for a few more weeks before
attaching the permanent tooth. It varies from
person to person, which procedure is better. 3.
The attachment of a replacement tooth over the
implant through an abutment or a small metal post
is done at the end. After a small period of time,
the tooth will be completely recovered and will
not even feel like a prosthetic and be able to
have normal functionality and aesthetic
requirements.

Type of Dental Implants

• Endosteal Implants These implants are fixed on
  the jawbone directly using surgery. As soon as
  the surrounding gums heal, a second surgery is
  required in order to attach a prosthetic tooth to
  the posts of the implant which is protruding out
  of the gums. The secondary prosthetic can be
  attached singularly or in the form of a bridge of
  more than one teeth.
• Subperiosteal Implants Just below the gum
  tissue, a metal frame is fixed on the jawbone.
  The metal frame gets permanently fixed to the
  jawbone as the gums get healed and its posts
  protrude through the gums. Then, in a similar way
  to the endosteal implants, dental prosthetics are
  fixed on the posts.
