Your teeth were intended to last a lifetime, but sometimes they don’t! Replacing missing teeth is important to your general health and to the health of your other teeth. Not only do you lose biting ability when a tooth is lost, but un-replaced teeth can cause other teeth to be lost, tipped or crowded and create later on problems. There are also, the problems of poor appearance and loss of confidence caused by one or more missing teeth.

Dental implant is considered as an option to replace a failing or missing tooth. Replacement of lost teeth with dental implants has been used for treating missing teeth for more than 50 years and is accepted as an effective treatment choice. Treatment is considered more predictable than bridgework, resin bonded bridges and endodontic treatment.

Sparkle Dental clinic gurgaon (India) offers you excellent opportunity to get your missing teeth replaced with high quality dental implants that too at very reasonable price.

Some FAQ’s for Dental Implants:

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are substitutes for the roots of missing teeth. They act as an anchor for a replacement tooth or crown or a set of replacement teeth.

Am I a candidate for implants?
Implant patients are of all ages and implants may be the right choice for anyone missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease or decay. They are especially practical for patients who can no longer wear removable dentures. Your dentist can determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of your dental and medical history.

Are there different kinds of implants?
There are many shapes, sizes and brands of implants available. The endosteal and the sub-periosteal implants find more recognition and acceptability. An important factor for selection is to determine whether your jawbone can adequately support the implant. Most dental implants placed today are endosteal root form fixtures (similar to a man-made tooth root).

Do I have enough bone for implants?
It is important for a patient to have enough bone to support the implant. If you do not have enough bone, there are many safe and effective ways to correct bone deficiency. We will assess this and advise you if additional bone material is needed.

Will this take a long time?
Treatment time can vary greatly depending on your needs. Each situation needs a separate evaluation; we will be able to give you an approximate timetable.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

As you know, your own teeth require conscientious at-home oral care and regular dental visits. Dental implants are like your own teeth and will require the same care. In order to keep your implant clean and plaque-free, brushing and flossing still apply!

After treatment, periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

The only next best alternative to the loss of your natural teeth, are the dental implants. In looks the implants are as good as your natural teeth. One important benefit of implants is that they slow the shrinking of bone and gum tissue from the area of the missing tooth, thus preventing premature aging.
