Dental implants offer one of the best and most natural-looking options to replace missing teeth. It is an artificial tooth root made of titanium which looks like a screw and is both strong and light. The tooth implant is surgically inserted into the jaw to support a replacement tooth. Over time, the jawbone fuses to this titanium implant.
It comprises of three components –
• Implant: The screw(root) that is placed inside the jawbone
• Abutment: The connector that supports the crown
• Crown: Ceramic cap placed on top of abutment

Absolutely Not, if you have most of your teeth lost in any jaw, you can have ALL on-4 implants.

"All on 4 dental implants" purely means that a full arch of artificial teeth is supported by 4 implants only. This is a suitable restorative solutions for patients who lost all of the teeth on either upper or lower jaw. This is done by inserting 4 to 6 implants (according to the case) and fabricating a supported denture over these implants. For more details, please visit All-on-4 Dental Implants page.

Some people wonder, why dental implant surgery take so long but in reality it's not a lengthy procedure. Dental implant placement procedure can be done as fast as in a single visit, But normally it is divided into following visits:
‍
Consultation:  CT scan and X-ray are done to check if you’re suitable for the dental implants procedure or not. Thus, the dentist will carefully plan the fitting and make sure that none of the existing nerves get harmed.
‍
Treatment: Once deemed suitable, the dentist will surgically place an implant. This takes around 15-20 minutes for one implant.

Follow up:  After 6 weeks, when bone has healed, abutment (The connector that supports the crown) is placed on top of the implant. Our dentists will then take a scan impression to make either a crown, denture or bridge to fit on top of the abutment.

Once your gums have healed completely after the procedure, you’ll take care of your dental implant - supported teeth just like you would take care of natural teeth. That includes regular brushing and flossing. You should continue to have regular dental checkups so that your dentist can monitor the oral health of your gums and the condition of your dental implants.
