Beautiful, long-lasting implants that transform your bite and your smile.
Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, they replace tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts. Dental implants replace damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones.
Dental implant surgery is usually an outpatient surgery performed in stages, with healing time between procedures. The entire process can take a few months from start to finish. Much of that time is devoted to healing and monitoring for the growth of new bone in your jaw. Because dental implants are placed in the jawbone, artificial replacement teeth attached to implants look and act much like natural teeth. Like natural teeth, implants need to be kept clean with proper dental hygiene and a healthy life style. Regular dental checkups are also very important. The implant screw itself can last a lifetime. 90%–95% has been reported as the success rate of implants.
Implants need regular maintenance just like natural teeth.
peri-implant disease, peri-implant mucositis is defined as an inflammatory lesion of the soft tissue surrounding an implant, with no loss of supporting bone. Left untreated, the peri-mucosal lesion can progress into peri-implantitis, with signs of drainage and progressive bone loss. The long-term goals are to stop the progression of the disease and maintain the implant site. Depending on the etiology of the problem, a specific treatment is selected. In order to control the acute bacterial infection and reduce the inflammation in the tissues, mechanical debridement and Localized and/or systemic antimicrobial therapy is needed. Aswell as a high pressure air powder abrasive, such as glycine or erythritol.
We offer both surgical and non-surgical RCT by our Endodontist specialist.

Treatment to cover exposed root surfaces and rebuild your gum line
The gums are firmly attached to the jawbone and tightly cover each tooth up to the neck. When intact, the gums cover the roots of the teeth and protect them.
Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, pulls back, which then exposes more of the tooth and the tooth's root. When gum recession occurs, "pockets," or gaps, form between the teeth and gum line, making it easy for disease-causing bacteria to build up. If the recession is severe, it causes symptoms such as tooth sensitivity, pain, or infection.
Most cases of mild gum recession do not need treatment. Teaching effective but gentle brushing and flossing is an effective early intervention.
For people who do need treatment, several options are available:
Desensitizing agents, varnishes, and dentin bonding agents: These products aim to reduce the sensitivity of the exposed tooth root. Desensitizing agents treat the nerve symptoms and help preserve oral hygiene by easing the brushing of sensitive teeth.
FREE GINGIVAL GRAFT (FGG): This technique is used when there is gum recession or very thin gingival tissues around teeth or dental implants. FGG has the best results for increasing the gingival thickness and attached gingiva to withstand the mechanical or frictional forces during eating.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT ( CTG): This technique is used when there is gum recession around teeth and causes cosmetic problems. This technique CTG has the best results regarding root coverage and color-matching the adjacent tissue area. Oral home hygiene plays an important role during the healing time and patient compliance as well.
Procedures to help support your dental implant placement.
Bone grafting is a technique that is required when a patient does not have a sufficient amount of healthy natural bones in his or her mouth that are capable of supporting dental implants. This deficiency of natural bones can be caused by: development defects, gum disease, face injury or trauma, empty space after teeth were removed.
The bone in our mouth is called the alveolar bone. Alveolar bone has one job: supporting and holding your teeth. If there’s no tooth, then alveolar bone starts to decline. Dental implants rely on integration of bone to create a stable foundation for the crown. If there is no bone to work with, placing an implant becomes impossible. To minimize alveolar atrophy post extraction, procedures such as “socket preservation” or “ridge preservation” have been developed. These procedures involve filling the socket with bone or bone substitute material

Synthetic bone (man-made) can be created in the laboratory. Bone can also be obtained from cadaver bone
A graft taken from a donor of another species. Mainly bovine It provides long-term volume stability.
Test to analyze any abnormal lesion or growths
An oral or gum biopsy is the test to analyze any abnormal lesion or growths in the gums. If you have an abnormality in the mouth, then an oral biopsy is needed. The doctors takes this step whenever they find: A lesion or a sore that lasts for more than two weeks and that bleeds easily. They biopsy is then sent to the Oral pathologist. they are speciality involved with the diagnosis and study of the causes and effects of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, and face. These diseases can involve the teeth, supporting bones, temporomandibular joints, gums, tongue and other hard and/or soft tissues.
Scaling and root planning is a non-surgical method for stopping and preventing gum disease
Gum disease is caused by a sticky film of bacteria called plaque. Plaque is always forming on your teeth, but if they aren’t cleaned well, the bacteria in plaque can cause your gums to become inflamed. When this happens, your gums will pull away from your teeth and form spaces called pockets. Plaque then gets trapped in these pockets and cannot be removed with regular brushing. If untreated, gum disease could lead to bone and tooth loss.
If gum disease is caught early and hasn’t damaged the structures below the gum line, a professional cleaning should do. If the pockets between your gums and teeth are too deep, however, scaling and root planing may be needed.
This deep cleaning has two parts. Scaling is when your Hygienist removes all the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) above and below the gumline, making sure to clean all the way down to the bottom of the pocket. Your Hygienist will then begin root planing, smoothing out your teeth roots to help your gums reattach to your teeth. Scaling and root planing may take more than one visit to complete and may require a local anesthetic.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause pain in your jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement.
A temporomandibular joint disorder or dysfunction (TMJD) can cause many varying symptoms. Two patients with TMJ can present with different symptoms. Though, most patients will experience some level of pain around the jaw or side of the head. Symptoms of TMJD include:
These symptoms can also cause other issues in everyday life that may be caused by a limited or decreased diet, consistent use of painkillers, increased teeth sensitivity, and fatigue. Thus, severe cases often present with more symptoms that have arisen due to their symptoms or attempted treatments.
Our specialized injections target the facial muscles, helping to reduce tension and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders. This non-surgical approach provides relief for many patients, reducing the need for more invasive treatments.
