Dental Implants

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an advanced dental procedure that involves the surgical replacement of missing teeth. It involves the insertion of artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials, which are placed directly into the jawbone. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom restoration (like a crown, bridge, or denture) is attached, providing a natural, permanent replacement for your missing teeth.

Dental Implants Are Used For

• Replacing a single missing tooth.

• Replacing multiple missing teeth with bridges.

• Restoring full arches of teeth.

• Supporting and stabilizing dentures.

• Improving bite and chewing function.

• Preserving jawbone density.

• Enhancing oral health.

• Improving the appearance of your smile.

Dental Implant Costs in Karachi

The cost of dental implants in Karachi can vary depending on several factors such as the type of implant, the number of implants needed, and additional procedures like bone grafting. At Elegance Dental and Aesthetic Clinics, we offer affordable pricing options while maintaining high standards of care and expertise.

Types of Dental Implants

Dental implants are available in different types depending on the placement and design. The two main types are:

1. Endosteal Implants
   These are the most commonly used implants, placed directly into the jawbone. They are typically screw-shaped or cylindrical and are ideal for replacing single teeth, bridges, and dentures.

2. Subperiosteal Implants
   These implants are placed on or above the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue. They are used less frequently but may be a suitable option for patients with insufficient bone height.

Steps Involved in Dental Implant Procedure

The process of getting a dental implant involves several essential steps to ensure the best outcome:

1. Initial Consultation
   The process starts with an initial consultation, where we assess your oral health, medical history, and take X-rays or 3D scans to evaluate the condition of your jawbone.

2. Treatment Planning
   After the evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is created, which includes the number of implants required, the type of restoration (crown, bridge, denture), and the surgical approach.

3. Extraction (If Necessary)
   If there’s a damaged or decayed tooth in the area to be treated, it may need to be extracted before the implant procedure.

4. Implant Placement
   The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone during the surgical phase. A small incision is made in the gum to access the bone, and a hole is drilled to insert the implant. In some cases, a healing abutment may be attached at this stage.

5. Healing Period (Osseointegration)
   Over the next several months, the implant will fuse with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. This is a critical step for the stability and success of the implant.

6. Abutment Placement
   Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is placed onto the implant. The abutment connects the implant to the final restoration and protrudes through the gum tissue.

7. Impressions
   After the abutment is in place, we take impressions of your teeth and gums to create a custom restoration that fits perfectly.

8. Final Restoration
   The custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed on the abutment, and we ensure it is properly adjusted for fit, bite, and appearance.

9. Follow-Up Care
   After the procedure, we schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure the implant is functioning well. Your dentist will also provide post-treatment care instructions to maintain the health and longevity of the implant.
