Tooth loss has become a very common problem and therefore replacement of the lost tooth with dental implants has become a most widely accepted and successful option. Even though it is the most appropriate solution, many people have myths and misconceptions about dental implants. However, not all misconceptions are true and therefore making an informed decision when going for dental implants is very crucial.
Dental Implants is a Painful Procedure
At “The Dental Specialists” we perform the implant procedure with a simplified technique using minimally invasive flapless keyhole technique, which hardly takes 10 minutes. The procedure is performed with modern technology with no incisions, no cuts and with minimal anaesthesia. Hence, there will be minimal bleeding with minimal postoperative pain and discomfort.
Dental Implants are Costly
There are multiple options available for replacement of teeth like Dental Implants, Fixed Partial Denture (FPD) and Removable Partial Denture (RPD). However, Dental Implant procedure is a lifetime solution for the replacement of your missing tooth and it does not involve taking the support of your adjacent teeth. As a result, there is no need to prepare your adjacent teeth. Now with the widely accepted modality all over the world, the cost of dental implant is reduced. We at The Dental Specialists practice Immediate Implantology with Immediate Loading protocol which gives back your natural-looking teeth in less TIME. And as it is rightly attributed by Benjamin Franklin (1748) “TIME IS MONEY”, so we should be as expeditious as possible and last but not the least it is the best investment for your overall health.
Dental Implants Are Not for Everyone
A newer technique Tall and Tilted Pin Hole Immediately Loaded Implants (TTPHIL)TM can be performed even in elderly persons, diabetics and smokers as it is done by following advanced surgical protocol which involves engaging basal cortical bone. Therefore, it can be done even in patients who have reduced bone height, reduced bone volume.
Dental Implants Are Not Natural Looking
At “The Dental Specialists” we give a personalized smile designing solution to our patients using CAD-CAM technology. We use this technology to design the anatomical features of prosthesis on a computer. CAD-CAM computer screen displays a 3D custom image of the teeth and gums which helps in drawing the precise design of the crowns which helps in delivering a highly esthetic crown with high translucency which is similar to your natural teeth.
Dental Implants Require Extensive Care
Dental implants are sealed into your bone under the retrievable screw-retained crown. Thus, you have to take care of the implant the same way as you take care of your teeth which include regular cleaning. A visit to your dentist every 6-12 months will help in avoiding any infections in the mouth and in and around Dental Implant which will help in avoiding peri mucositis and peri-implantitis.
Number of Missing Teeth Equal to Number of Implants
For full mouth rehabilitation, ALL TILTTM protocol involves placing 6 implants per jaw which has been proved to be the most optimal and with evidence-based successful results. They have better biomechanics with no cantilever effect and better anteroposterior spread with Tall and Tilted 2 piece cortical implants. Therefore, you can get a complete set of 14 teeth within a few days.
Dental Implant Metal is Unsafe to be in the Body
Dental implants are made of Titanium metal which is totally biocompatible with the body and it is the same metal used in Orthopedic and cardiac stents. Therefore, Dental Implants are absolutely safe to be in the body.
