Dental implants in Chittorgarh

Who implants are for

• You've lost a tooth to decay, gum disease or an injury
• You'd rather not have the healthy teeth next to a gap trimmed for a bridge
• Your dentures feel loose, or you find it hard to chew with them
• You've lost most or all of your teeth and want fixed teeth again

Most adults can have implants. We check the bone, the gums and your general health first. Diabetes needs to be under control, and smoking slows healing, so we'll talk about both at the first visit.

Not enough bone?

When a tooth has been missing for a long time, the bone under it often shrinks. That doesn't rule out an implant. We can build the bone back up with a bone graft, either at the same time as the implant or a few months before it, depending on how much bone is needed.

Types of implant treatment

What happens, step by step

1. 1 Check-up and X-rayWe examine the gap, the gums and the bite, and take an X-ray to see how much bone there is.
2. 2 PlanningWe explain the options for your case, the number of visits and how long the whole treatment will take.
3. 3 Placing the implantThe implant is placed under local anaesthesia, in a single sitting at the clinic.
4. 4 HealingThe bone bonds with the implant over the next few months. You can usually wear a temporary tooth in the meantime.
5. 5 Fixing the toothOnce it has healed, we take a measurement and fix the final cap, bridge or denture on the implant.

After the implant

• Some swelling or soreness for a few days is normal. Take the medicines we prescribe.
• Eat soft food on that side for the first week.
• Brush and clean around the implant as carefully as your own teeth. Gum infection is the most common reason implants fail.
• Come for check-ups so we can look at the gum and bone around the implant.
