A dental implant procedure involves surgically placing a titanium or zirconia post
into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root.
A small incision is made in the gum tissue, and a hole is drilled into
the jawbone. A titanium implant post is then inserted into the jawbone,
serving as an artificial tooth root.
Over time, the bone
fuses with the implant. An abutment is attached to the implant, and a
custom-made crown is placed on top to restore function and aesthetics.
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area where the implant will
be placed to ensure the patient's comfort during the procedure.
The success rate of dental implants typically ranges from 95% to 98%
when performed by experienced professionals and in well-planned cases.
Success depends on factors like the patient's health, bone quality,
surgeon's skill, and proper aftercare.
Dental implant costs may vary based on several factors like the type, and material, procedure complexity, location, professional
expertise, pre-implant treatments, crown type, and
additional procedures.
