A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth acting as an anchor to hold the artificial replacement tooth in place.

                   If one or more teeth are missing, there are a number of ways to replace them. An alternative to conventional procedures like bridges, partial or complete dentures is dental implants. Today, they are considered the standard of care for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth in dentistry. A dental implant is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over the span of a few months. Having a dental implant fused to the jawbone is the closest thing to mimicking a natural tooth because it stands on its own without affecting the nearby teeth and has great stability. The process of fusion between the dental implant and jawbone is called "osseointegration." Most dental implants are made of titanium, which allows them to integrate with bone without being recognized as a foreign object in our body. Over time, technology and science have progressed to greatly improve the outcomes of dental implant placement.

                   For patients who have lost all their teeth due to decay or gum disease of the upper and/or lower arch, an option is available to provide a very stable and comfortable prosthesis using a minimal number of implants. One such is example is the "All-On-4" technique. This technique gets its name from the idea that four implants can be used to replace all teeth in a single arch (upper or lower). The implants are strategically placed in areas of good strong bone, and a thin denture prosthesis is screwed into place. The All-On-4 technique provides teeth replacement that is stable (not removable) and feels like natural teeth compared to the older method of traditional (removable) complete dentures. Without a doubt, implant dentistry has allowed for more treatment options to replace single and multiple missing teeth with long-term stability and contributes to improved oral health.

                   At Wisdom Dental, we place dental implants with utmost care in a highly sterile environment. The care provided to the patients throughout the procedure is of the highest standard and unbending. We offer a wide variety of services like implant supported crowns for replacement of single tooth, implant supported bridges for replacement of more than one tooth and implant supported overdentures and complete dentures for completely edentulous patients.
