Dental Implants at Tooth Mate Clinic

Dental implants are a procedure to replace missing tooth roots with titanium posts that provide a strong foundation for permanent artificial teeth. They are considered the optimal solution for replacing missing teeth as they mimic natural teeth in both appearance and function.

Dental implants use materials that are biologically compatible with the human body such as titanium, ensuring the body doesn't reject the implant. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the number of implants required.

Dental implants differ from traditional prosthetics in that they preserve jaw bones from deterioration and don't require grinding adjacent teeth as with traditional bridges. This makes them the healthiest and longest-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth.

The success rate of dental implants reaches 98% in the lower jaw and 95% in the upper jaw, lasting a lifetime with proper care. The implant consists of three parts: the fixture that fixes into the bone, the abutment, and the ceramic crown.

Improved appearance and self-confidence: Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth, restoring your beautiful smile and confidence while speaking and laughing.

Improved speech and chewing: Unlike removable dentures, dental implants allow you to chew effectively and speak clearly without worrying about teeth moving or falling out.

Comfort and durability: Dental implants are fixed and comfortable, no need for daily removal or adhesive materials. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.

Preserving jaw and bone health: Dental implants prevent jaw bone deterioration that occurs after tooth loss, maintain natural facial features, and prevent premature aging appearance.

Diagnosis and planning: We perform comprehensive dental examination and 3D imaging to assess jaw bone condition and determine appropriate implant locations using the latest diagnostic equipment.

Surgical implantation: Under local anesthesia, titanium implants are inserted into the jaw bone at pre-determined locations. This step typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per implant.

Healing period: The recovery period ranges from 3 to 6 months for the lower jaw, and 4 to 8 months for the upper jaw. During this period, the implant integrates with the jaw bone in a process called osseointegration.

Final crown placement: After complete healing, the abutment and ceramic crown are installed, custom-designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, giving you a natural and harmonious smile.
