  1. Single tooth Implant
    The single implant restoration consists of three parts are tooth root, abutment and composes of a crown fitted onto the implant post. The single tooth implant acts as a new tooth root with a crown over the tooth. Sometimes, immediate and immediate load implants might be done for single tooth implants.
  2. Multiple Tooth Implants with bridges
    If multiple teeth are missing within the same region several single tooth implants may be used to restore the missing gap with implants and fixed bridges over the dental implant post may be done to restore missing gaps more economically.

  • Full-arch tooth replacement with only 4 or 6 implants
  • Immediate Function
  • Enables stability even with minimum bone volume in posterior areas.
  • Graftless procedure (Bone grafting is avoided by tilting the posterior implants, utilizing available bone)

Conventional (Two-Stage) Dental Implants

The two stage procedure is the most commonly practiced method. The implant is surgically placed in the jaw bone so that it lies with bone underneath the gum. The gum tissue is then closed with stitches to protect the implant from force while the surrounding bone heals and fuses to it. After a period of healing (2-6 months ), a second (minor) surgery is conducted to uncover the implant in order to attach the restoration.
