At Dr. Smita Khandwala’s dental practice, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence and overall oral health. Dental implants offer a reliable solution to restore both function and aesthetics, allowing you to smile with confidence once again.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a foundation for replacement teeth. These implants integrate with the bone over time, providing a stable and durable base for crowns, bridges, or dentures. The process involves several steps to ensure optimal results and long-term success.

The Implant Placement Process

• Consultation and Planning: Dr. Khandwala evaluates your oral health and designs a personalized treatment plan, often using imaging studies to determine the best implant placement.
• Surgical Placement: The implants are placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The procedure is minimally invasive, with a swift recovery.
• Healing and Integration: The implants integrate with the jawbone over a few months, ensuring a strong foundation for the new teeth.
• Abutment and Restoration: Abutments are attached, and impressions are taken to create custom crowns, bridges, or dentures.
• Final Placement: The custom restorations are fitted, completing your smile with a natural look and function.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures and bridges:

• Durability: Implants are designed to last for many years with proper care.
• Natural Appearance: Implants and their restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Enhanced Function: Implants restore full chewing function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods.
• Preservation of Bone: Implants help maintain jawbone density, preventing the bone loss often associated with missing teeth.
