Best and High-quality Dental implants in Dubai

Despite the advancements and improvements in the dental field, many people suffer from tooth loss. The reason could be anything, including trauma, gum disease or gingivitis. Well, implants can help you restore your smile after missing one tooth or many. Dental implants are a type of metal frames or posts that are planted or positioned into your jawbones, beneath your gums by a surgical process. They provide support to dental prostheses like the crown, facial prosthesis, bridge, denture etc. and act as a sturdy and rigid anchor for replaced teeth. The titanium in the implant fuses with your jawbone and is a proven effective replacement for the tooth root.

What are the types of dental implants?

Various types of dental implants are available including:

Endosteal Implants :

These types of implants are directly placed in the jawbone. They are the most commonly used type of implant and are usually in the shape of plates, cylinders or small screws.

Subperiosteal Implants:

They are placed under the gum, but on, or above the jawbone. It is typically used for patients who have a shallow jawbone or who are unable to undergo treatment to rebuild it.

How dental implants are performed in Dubai?

At Zee Dent, our experts will plan the procedure after examining your mouth, jaw and face. There are no specific steps in this surgery as the treatment can vary according to individual needs. The procedure generally starts with a development of a customized treatment plan. The plan will address your specific needs.

  • Your damaged tooth is removed and your jawbone is prepared for surgery.
  • The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
  • Osseointegration process- In this process, the bone around the implant is allowed to heal. Osseointegration means “combining with the bone”. So, the bone actually grows around the implant, attaches itself directly to the implant, growing all around it and supporting it steadfastly. But this process takes a duration of several months.
  • A small connector post known as an abutment is attached to the dental implant. It is a minor surgery, which can be done with local anaesthesia.
  • Before the artificial tooth can be attached, your gums will heal for one or two weeks after the abutment is placed.
  • A sample of your bite is taken to have a proper analysis of all your teeth, their type and arrangement. This helps the doctor in designing a replacement tooth or a crown that properly blends with all your natural teeth.
  • The colour of your crown is also matched according to your natural teeth.
  • The implant is properly secured with the jawbone to help the replaced teeth feel and function in a manner similar to your natural teeth.
