Dental Implants: A Permanent, Natural-Looking Solution for Missing Teeth

Reviewed by Dr. Purvi Patel, BDS, MDS (Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics)

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone. Over time, the post fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a custom-made crown. At nuFace, dental implant treatment is assessed and overseen by Dr. Purvi Patel, who evaluates each patient individually to determine the most suitable treatment plan.

Unlike removable dentures, which rest on the gums and can shift while eating or speaking, implants are anchored directly in the jawbone. This helps preserve bone density in the area and provides a more stable, secure fit.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Improved chewing function:
Because implants are anchored in the jawbone, they provide a stable biting surface that functions much like a natural tooth.
Natural appearance:
Implant-supported crowns are custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth.
Clearer speech:
Because implants stay securely in place, they don't shift or slip the way that ill-fitting dentures sometimes can.
Lasting legacy:
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, implants are designed to provide a long-term, durable solution that can last for many years, offering a reliable alternative to dentures that typically need periodic replacement.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. However, certain factors can affect healing and eligibility, including uncontrolled diabetes, active gum disease, insufficient bone volume, and smoking. In some cases, additional treatment such as bone grafting may be recommended before implant placement.

Dr. Purvi Patel assesses each patient’s individual suitability for dental implants during a consultation, taking into account overall health, oral condition, and treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the dental implant process take?
Treatment time varies by patient, but the process from placement to final crown typically spans a few months, as it includes a healing period for the implant to fuse with the jawbone.

Is getting a dental implant painful?
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report mild discomfort afterward that can be managed with prescribed pain relief.

How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implants are designed to last for many years, though individual results can vary.

Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Not everyone is an immediate candidate. Suitability depends on factors such as bone density and overall oral health, which Dr. Purvi Patel will assess during your consultation.

How do I care for my dental implant?
Implants should be cleaned like natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups to monitor long-term health.

Our implant planning and surgical technique follow the guidance in Basics of Dental Implantology for the Oral Surgeon, a chapter of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for the Clinician published by the Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India (AOMSI).
