Dental implant is by far the most advanced techniques offered to replace missing teeth. It offers unparalelled comfort and function. The latest technologies have made implant one of the most successful treatment modalities. With advanced bone graft (block graft, sinus lift etc), implant is not a luxury anymore only for those who have abundant residual bone in the jaw. Almost any body can have successful implants placed upon his/her wishes.

A dental implant is really a very simple metal screw which is designed to thread into the bone of the jaw and to allow for the attachment of a (prosthetic) tooth at the top. Implants are usually made of surgical grade titanium or titanium Alloy. Your dentist will purchase the implants in sterile packaging and place them in a small hole in the bone which he or she has prepared as part of the implant placement procedure. The bone will fuse to the implant over a short period of time in a process referred to as 'osseointegration' and once this process is successfully completed (3 to 4 months) the implant is permanently in place. Restoration of the implant usually takes place after osseointegration.
