đź“Ť What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. They’ve been used in dentistry since the 1960s, and today they’re considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth—offering unmatched stability, aesthetics, and long-term success.

âś… Why Choose Implants Over Bridges or Dentures?

Dental implants:

  • Preserve your jawbone and facial structure
  • Feel and function like natural teeth
  • Don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support
  • Offer long-term durability and comfort
  • Eliminate the slipping, irritation, and frequent adjustments associated with dentures

🔍 Types of Dental Implants

1. Conventional Titanium Implants

Placed directly into the jawbone, these implants require 2–3 months for osseointegration—the process where the implant fuses with the bone. Once healed, a crown or denture is placed. If bone is insufficient, bone grafting may be needed.

2. PSI (Patient-Specific Implants)

Custom-designed using a 3D scan of your jaw, PSI implants involve a titanium frame secured with mini screws at strategic load-bearing points.

Advantages:

  • No bone grafting required
  • Immediate restoration—same-day teeth
  • Ideal for severe bone loss or thin bone cases
  • Bone remains stable and does not resorb over time

3. Zygomatic Implants

Used only in the upper jaw, these implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) and are suitable for patients with extreme upper jaw bone loss. The procedure is more complex and requires detailed planning. Like PSI, they bypass the need for bone grafting but may involve a longer treatment timeline.

🗓️ Planning Your Implant Journey

Initial Consultation with Dr. Suraj Pawar

Your journey begins with a detailed medical history. It’s important to inform us about:

  • Diabetes
  • Smoking habits
  • Hypertension
  • Blood thinner medications
  • Allergies
  • Immunosuppressive drugs
  • Any other relevant health conditions

We’ll take a full-mouth panoramic X-ray (OPG) to assess bone height and tooth spacing. If your tooth has been missing for more than 5 years, bone loss is likely, and a clinical exam is essential before planning.

“Implant success is 75% planning and 25% surgical skill.” – Dr. Suraj Pawar

We’ll also evaluate your bite pattern and occlusion, as missing teeth can shift your jaw alignment. Just sharing an X-ray isn’t enough—a full clinical visit is necessary to plan your treatment accurately.

If needed, we’ll proceed with:

  • CBCT scan for 3D bone mapping
  • Intraoral scan to visualize how your teeth meet and how your prosthesis will fit

🛌 What to Expect on Surgery Day

  • Eat well before arriving
  • Take your prescribed prophylactic antibiotics
  • You’ll receive local anesthesia
  • The procedure will be performed with precision and care
  • Follow all post-op instructions given by Dr. Suraj
  • Return in 2 weeks for suture removal
  • After 2 months, we begin the prosthetic phase
  • Within 2 more weeks, your crown or denture is placed—completing your smile

🧼 Implant Aftercare & Maintenance

Even though implants fuse with your bone, maintenance is key to long-term success. Remember:

  • Your bone is living tissue, and all chewing stress transfers to it
  • Use a water flosser twice daily—it reaches areas your brush or string floss can’t
  • Keep your oral cavity clean at all times
  • Visit your dentist every 6 months to monitor bone health and implant stability

Implants are a lifetime investment, and with proper care, they can last for decades.
