Dental Implants

A dental implant is like an artificial tooth root used in dentistry to support crowns and bridges that replace a tooth or group of teeth. Dental Implant is a titanium screw like structure, which is anchored into the jawbones and functions similar to a natural tooth. Dental Implants can be placed in areas where natural teeth are either lost due to decay or trauma or when a tooth cannot be saved and has to be extracted. Dental Implants have two main treatment phases. Firstly, the Dental Implant is placed into the jawbone. Secondly, the Dental Implant has a tooth like crown placed on it.

These two stages have been traditionally performed in 3-6 months, healing in-between. Where appropriate, the two stages are now being performed at the same time.

There are two types of dental implants that can be used to replace the missing tooth namely:

1. Conventional Implants
2. Strategic Implants

Dentists at Sri Rama Chandra Children and Dental Hospital are trained to treat patients with perfect solution for tooth replacement through both conventional and strategic implants.
