Dental Implants: The Next Best Thing to Get Natural Teeth

If you're dealing with one or more problematic or missing teeth, dental implants could be the perfect solution for you. They're highly effective, promote oral health, and offer exceptional comfort, mimicking the appearance and function of natural teeth. With dental implants, it's unlikely anyone will detect the difference unless you share it with them.

Dr. Ragga Swarupini and her team at Dr. Ragga's Smile Dental Clinic delighted to offer this transformative treatment to patients in Ibrahimpatnam, Andhra Pradesh, ensuring they regain confidence in their smiles and oral health.

How dental implants work

Dental implants function by replacing your natural teeth from the root up. The implant itself is typically a titanium screw surgically placed into your jawbone by a qualified professional like Dr. Swarupini. Due to its biocompatible nature, your body accepts the titanium implant without considering it foreign material. Over time, the implant integrates with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring a sturdy foundation. Following the placement of the implant, a custom-made, natural-looking crown, designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, is attached.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants can provide a range of benefits, including:

• Better oral health, because they’re easy to clean and guard against complications of damaged and missing teeth
• Convenience, because you don’t have to remove them, as you do dentures
• Physical comfort, because they feel just like natural, healthy teeth
• Improved appearance after tooth loss, which can not only leave gaping space, but also impact the shape and look of your face
• Improved speech and eating capabilities, both of which can be difficult after tooth loss or while wearing dentures
• Durability, if you take good care of them
• Heightened confidence, peace of mind, and self-esteem, due to all of these advantages

Dental implant success rate

Dental implants boast an impressive success rate of 98%, significantly surpassing alternatives like dentures. In contrast, studies indicate that only a little over one-third of removable, partial dentures exhibit no technical failures or hygiene issues. With proper care, dental implants can endure a lifetime, underscoring their longevity and durability. Steering clear of habits like smoking can further bolster the likelihood of success.

Caring for your dental implants

Maintaining your dental implants is crucial but straightforward. Immediately post-surgery and during the healing phase, sticking to soft foods is advisable. Adhering to Dr. Swarupini guidance and addressing any queries ensures optimal outcomes. Subsequently, a routine of gentle brushing with a soft-bristled brush twice daily is recommended. Thorough flossing, employing an L-shaped technique to navigate around the implant and beneath the crown, effectively prevents the accumulation of food debris and bacteria.
