Dental Implants In Vadodara

• Dental implants are prosthesis that replaces the missing teeth in our oral cavity. Now, they might be considered strong enough but they are not our natural teeth they can closely resemble them but they cannot be a natural tooth.
• Dental implants are basically a screw like structure that is fitted in the jaw bone. And then they crown is fixed on the screw after the expected healing is done.
• Placing a dental implant is considered to be a surgical procedure that is performed by an IMPLANTOLOGIST. An implantologist is a doctor specialized in placing implants.
• Vraj group of dental clinics have performed more then 5000+ implant surgeries with 97-98% of success rates. We are the best dental clinic in Vadodara for dental implant placement.
• The world of dentistry has left no stone behind in advancing the treatment options for any dental problems. And implants are one of those advances that have done wonders for patients.
• Once the patient chooses the dental implant option then they never look back.
• When we break down the dental implant structurally, we have three important parts in dental implant that makes it a whole thing:
  • IMPLANT – it is the main screw like part that is placed in the bone. The implant and bone then fuses/integrates to stabilize it firmly.
  • ABUTMENT—an abutment is a part of the dental implant system, that connects the implant with the future crown that would be placed over the implant.
  • CROWN – A custom made crown is prepared according to the patient’s requirement that offers them ease of chewing. Mostly, ZIRCONIA CROWN are prepared.

All these parts, they combine together and make a successful dental implant.

HOW DOES THE IMPLANT WORK ?

• The implant surgery might turn to be a longer duration surgery because of the healing time the surgery takes.
• The surgery is initiated by placing the implant screw in the jaw bone with appropriate height and width. Then wait for 2-3 months for the implant to integrate completely in the jaw bone. It might even take 4-6 months depending upon the healing approach of patient’s body.
• Yes, the implant screw does integrate with the jaw bone and this is in turn an important process for a successful implant. This process of integration of implant screw and jaw bone is called as “OSSEOINTEGRATION”.
• You may have a concern regarding having a foreign body in your mouth/body but the implants are completely safe.
• Implants are made up of titanium and titanium is considered to be a safe metal in our body. Titanium is a biocompatible element and it is used in so many ortho surgeries to replace bone.
• The implant is more likely accepted to replace the tooth because it is strong and can withstand the forces of mastication firmly. It is stable, once placed. It replaces the tooth root and not the entire tooth with crown. The implant part is separate then comes the crown part.
• Placing an implant can only happen if the height of the bone is enough. The bone height, the bone health, the bone width all these factors are important for implant placement.
• While placing the implant there are numerous factors to be kept in mind. Firstly, the anatomy of the tooth is very important. And there is no better person then a doctor to know all the factors in depth and then placing the implant correctly.

THE ANATOMY

• As it is a jaw surgery, lets first get some knowledge regarding the jaw anatomy.
• We have two main bone in which we perform the surgery. On a wide scale there is a maxillary bone and then there is a mandibular bone.
• Both the maxillary as well as mandibular bone has its own characteristic that is to be kept in mind before performing the surgery.
• MAXILLARY IMPLANT:
  • For placing any implant, the height and density of the bone plays a major role.
  • The placement and surgical lookout for placing both maxillary anterior and maxillary posterior implant differs.
  • For maxillary anterior implant, the height of the bone is important because the nasal floor lies just above it.

• MANDIBULAR IMPLANT:
  • Here also the height and width of the bone is very important.
  • If implant is placed in the bone with improper or insufficient height or width then it might get fail.

What if the bone height is not enough?

• So, what if you don’t have enough bone height and width but you still wish to have an implant.
• There is a procedure called as BONE GRAFT.
• For the insufficient bone we can add a little of the bone graft to just add some amout of bone to the surgical site.

BONE GRAFT IN DENTAL IMPLANT SURGERY:

• All the natural teeth are extremely strong when masticatory forces are applied. And there is a certain amount of movement of our teeth placed in the jaw bone.
• The bone helps the teeth to hold well and support the teeth to withstand every kind of force.
• When we place implant, the implant performs almost similar functions as our teeth and in order to make them withstand all the forces we need that extra support from the bone.
• And thus, the bone grafting helps us get that extra bone support to strengthen the implant function.
• It is basically a bone transplant. Small amount of bone is transplanted from other bone and placed in the site of surgery.  

TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

• There are many commercially used implants based on there companies we use in our implant surgery:
  • Korean implant: Korean implants are sold by Korean based implant company.
  • German Implant: Implants manufactured in Germany.
  • American implant: Implants manufactured in USA.
  • Israel implant: Implants manufactured in Israel.
• All these implants are used commercially and are used according to the patient’s choice.
• They differ from each other depending upon there manufacturing company.
• Titanium is a widely used implant material.
• Other types of commercially available dental implants are:

DENTAL IMPLANT SURGERY:

• Dental implant surgery is a multiple step procedure. Beginning from injecting local anaesthesia to placing tooth crown/tooth cap mostly zirconia crown.
• It can take up-to months mainly for the bone healing. After the bone healing is done then rest of the procedure takes about a week or two.
• The surgery begins by giving anaesthesia to the patient. It is a surgical procedure and proper amount of local anaesthesia is must for the ease and painless treatment for the patient.
• After the anaesthesia’s effect has begun, firstly if there is any tooth structure remaining, we need to remove that.
• Then the jaw bone is prepared. If graft is needed, we use that and prepare the bone for further surgical procedure.
• Bone grafting is done when enough bone structure is not left.
• Then with the help of BP blade an incision is made at the surgical sight on the gums to expose the bone.
• Then according to the implant which is to be placed, the bone is cut and a hole is created of the implant size to place it deep in bone.
• Then the site is closed with the help of suture and it is left intact until the bone growth and osseointegration has occurred.
• Osseointegration process takes about 3-4 months depending upon the healing time taken by patient’s body.
• That particular site still remains with the missing teeth until patient wants to have a temporary tooth placed.
• Then the appointment is set after few months, the bone health is checked and then the abutment is placed to support the placement of the tooth crown.
• To place the abutment the surgeon can place it at the time of the first surgery or he/she can place it after few months or completion of the osseointegration.
• The tooth crown could be of any type:
  • PFM crown
  • Ceramic crown
  • Zirconia crown
  • Bruxir crown, etc.
•  After the patient chooses the type of tooth crown/tooth cap he/she wants we fix the crown.
