DENTAL CLINIC ALIMOS

If you have severely damaged or decayed teeth, you don’t need to get partials or dentures to restore your smile. Now, with the titanium dental implant, you can permanently replace your damaged tooth with a device that feels and looks completely natural.

How We Can Help

A dental implant is a highly effective treatment for those suffering from severe tooth decay or damage. Before beginning the procedure, there are a few factors you and your dentist will need to discuss to determine if dental implants are right for you. It is important that you are in good health before beginning treatment, and you should discuss any chronic illnesses—such as leukemia and diabetes—with your dentist beforehand. It is highly recommended that you do not use tobacco products when going through this treatment as it can impede your healing process. Finally, if your jaw structure is not strong enough to support the device, you may require additional surgeries in advance of receiving the implant.
Once you have been cleared for the procedure, your dentist will first remove the tooth, and replace it with a titanium screw that will be inserted directly into the gums. As this heals, the screw will gradually fuse with your jawbone, making it feel as sturdy and natural as a healthy tooth. Your dentist will then place a customized porcelain crown over the screw. This will allow it to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth—no one will ever even notice that you have a dental implant! This treatment takes anywhere from 6-12 weeks to complete. You may experience mild soreness, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
