Single & Multiple Teeth Dental Implants

Dental implants are basically artificially made tooth roots which are implanted in your gum tissue and once they are in place, they basically perform all the functions of natural tooth roots.

They are also used to support all kinds of dental restorative procedures for both single and multiple teeth replacement.
They also help in stopping gum recession and bone loss in teeth.

In case of missing single tooth, a single dental implant is used to support a dental crown. The crown is tailor-made to fill the gap in your teeth. Since this is specifically done in cases where a single tooth is the source of the problem it is known as a single tooth implant.

In case you have missing multiple teeth, dentists often advise the use of multiple dental implants. These various dental implants help in supporting appliances ranging from a dental bridge to full and partial dentures. The extent of damage in your teeth determines the appliance that will be used.

The number of dental implants to be used is solely the dentist’s discretion. Dentists try and keep the number of implants to a minimum since spacing out the implants allow perfect anchoring for bridges and dentures.

Single/Multiple Teeth Dental Implants - Procedure

The Dental implant is placed into the jaw bone under local anaesthesia and an immediate temporary crown is placed in most of the cases for functional and aesthetic reasons.

Once the implant is put in your jawbone, the osseointegration process begins during which the jawbone unites with the dental implant surface. This can take several months to happen properly.

The common practice at Dixit Dental Care is to place the healing abutment immediately after the placement of implant to avoid stage II surgical intervention.

If your jawbone is too soft or inadequate (quality and quantity), you might require bone grafting during implant surgery. This is because your mouth’s chewing action puts a lot of pressure on your bone and the surgery will fail if it’s unable to support the implant. A bone graft creates the solid base that the implant needs. A bone might be taken from another part of your body or artificial bones can be used.
