Dental Implants in Gurgaon

Getting dental implants typically requires two trips over 4-6 months. The first trip takes about 3-5 days, and the second trip usually lasts about a week. Here’s a simple breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Initial Placement

• Tooth Extraction: If needed, the tooth is extracted, and the implant is placed in one visit. Sometimes, artificial bone material is added to ensure there’s enough bone to support the implant. This minor bone graft or socket graft can be done during the same appointment. In the upper jaw, if there isn’t enough bone, a sinus lift may be performed.
• Implant Placement: The implant is screwed into the jawbone, and the gums are sealed over it. This takes about 3-6 months to integrate with the jawbone before it can support the abutment and crown. This initial visit includes consultation, diagnosis, and follow-up for suture removal and post-operative checks.

Step 2: Abutment and Crown Fitting

• Stabilization: Once the implant is stable, you return to have the abutment and crown fitted. The gums are opened, abutments are attached, and impressions are taken of the abutments and surrounding teeth.
• Crown Creation: These impressions are sent to a dental lab to craft the crowns. This process usually takes about three appointments over a week.

FAQS of Dental Implants

Why should I visit a dentist on regular periods?
With today, busy life not many people are able to visit the dentist regularly. They only pay a visit when the situation gets grave. This is considered as crisis treatment, versus, preventive treatment, While the patients believe that they are saving money, but they end up spending more money due to the gravity of the problem. This is because various dental issues do not have symptoms until they reach the advanced phases of the disease process, like tooth decay. It is not new to see a patient with a huge cavity who hasn’t felt anything. Thus to prevent major challenging issues, it is advised to visit a dentist at regular periods.
Various preventive measures are recommended by the professionals at The Dental Cure in order to allow the patients to lead a happy life with a smile on their faces. One of the preventive measures includes utilization of fluoride which helps in the prevention of tooth decay.

Why should I floss, isn’t brushing enough?
Flossing reduces the number of bacteria in your mouth. There are millions of these microscopic creatures feeding on food particles left on your teeth. These bacteria live in plaque which can be removed by flossing. Brushing your teeth gets rid of some of the bacteria in your mouth. Flossing gets rid of the bacteria the toothbrush can’t get to. That’s the bacteria hiding in the tiny spaces between your teeth. If you do not floss, you allow plaque to remain between your teeth. Eventually it hardens into tartar. Plaque can be removed by brushing. Only the dentist can remove tartar.
Ask your dentist to show you the proper way to floss. You will both notice the difference at the next cleaning appointment.

How can I get my kids to brush their teeth?
Make it fun! If you are enthusiastic about brushing your teeth, your children will also be enthusiastic. Children want to do the things their parents do. If your children see you brushing your teeth and displaying good dental habits, they will follow. Ask the dentist for other creative ways to get children to brush their teeth.
Getting your children to brush starts with taking them to the dentist at an early age. All children should be seen by their first birthday or 6 months after the eruption of the first tooth

How can I prevent cavities?
Always spend two to three minutes brushing your teeth. It takes that long to get rid of the bacteria that destroy tooth enamel. Do not brush too hard. It takes very little pressure to remove bacteria and plaque. Floss at least once a day. Flossing is the only way to get bacteria from between your teeth.
Watch the sugar you eat. There is sugar in candy, fruits, crackers and chips. These are the foods that the bacteria in your mouth like best. Be mindful of foods like raisins and peanut butter that stick to your teeth. They can provide a constant supply for the bacteria eating into your teeth. Try to minimize the times during the day when sweet items are eaten and brush your teeth afterwards.
If you cannot brush after a meal, rinse your mouth with water – which can help to remove food from your teeth. Chewing sugarless gum after a meal can also help. Chewing demodulates the flow of your saliva which acts as a natural plaque-fighting substance. And do not forget your regular dental visits. Good dental habits will go a long way toward a no-cavity visit.

Why does the dentist take X-rays?
Many diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues cannot be seen when the dentist examines the mouth. An X-ray examination may reveal:

small areas of decay between the teeth or below existing restorations (fillings)
infections in the bone
periodontal (gum) disease
abscesses or cysts
developmental abnormalities
some types of tumors

If you have a hidden tumor, X-rays may even help save your life. Dentist will evaluate your need for X-rays based on the conditions present in development. There are many benefits to having X-rays taken. Any additional questions or concerns should be discussed with your dentist.
