Implant Dentist Consultation Kochi, India

With dental implants, healthy teeth are not compromised. Dental implants, like natural teeth, stimulate the jaw and stop bone loss. Leading dental organizations recognize dental implants as the standard of care for tooth replacement. Dental implants are lightweight, durable, bio-compatible and made from titanium. They bond with healthy bone and provide permanent support for dental crowns and dentures. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth and can last a lifetime. Our Specialist has been trained in Implant dentistry by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry - 300 credit hours Maxi Course and has undertaken a one week intensive training in Advanced Implantology. Placing a Dental Implant in ones jaw bone successfully requires :A) Exemplary hygiene and sterilization standards-. All measures are taken to replicate the sterile environment of a medical operation theatre (OT) of a hospital.B) Extensive treatment planning- Dental Implant placement involves planning not only the size and location of the dental implant but also the height, width and density of the bone. The proximity of adjacent vital structures like the Maxillary sinus, Nerves and Blood vessels, Adjacent tooth roots, Base of the mandible etc need to be carefully assessed. Dental Implant treatment planning involves study of Models of the teeth and jaws, Diagnostic mock set ups, Intra oral and extra oral calibrated X-rays and in many cases even CT scans of the skull.C) Undertaking complex adjunct procedures like the Indirect Sinus Lift, Direct Sinus Lift, Bone Graft procedures involving membrane placements, Block grafts, Ridge Augmentation, without which, in many instances the positioning of the Dental Implant and consequently the success, may have to be compromised.D) Use of State of the art materials and equipment, having an excellent track record over a long period of time. Presently this clinic uses the Biohorizon Dental Implant systems (USA).

A restorative treatment popular with patients as in a short period of time dazzling esthetic results are produced. It is a conservative method suitable for covering discolourations impossible to remove by professional cleaning. Metal-free ceramic is used. The porcelain veneer is a thin ceramic facing that is bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. It is also indicated for chipped, worn teeth as well as to cover in-between gaps. It is widely used for anterior teeth. It has a natural transparency thus individual differences in the tone of the teeth can be matched and the covering layer adapts to the colour of the adjacent teeth in various light conditions. It is wear-resistant and retains its colour over the years. Its hard surface is resistant to the accumulation of plaque and the danger of gingivitis is minimal. It is recommended for patients presenting metal allergy. Two appointments are necessary. On the first appointment the dentist prepares the tooth, makes an impression, prepares a temporary restoration, while during the second visit the ready preparation is bonded to the tooth. It may not be suitable for root-canal treated teeth (3-5 years) or for anteriors with large restorations.

A dental implant is actually a replacement for the root or roots of atooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible oncesurgically placed. Smile centre, Kochi offers best dental implants procedures at affordable prices.
