What is Dental Implantology?
It is an advanced medical technology for the treatment of tooth loss. A titanium implant is implanted in the toothless area of the jawbone. The jawbone fuses with the titanium surface providing a strong anchorage for the implant. The implant functions as a support for the dental prosthesis constructed over it.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- It can treat cases untreatable with conventional methods of dental bridges and dentures.
- It prevents further resorption of the jawbone following tooth loss.
- It can perfectly restore chewing function.
- It avoids cutting down and overloading the natural teeth occurring with conventional means of replacing tooth loss.
- It helps restore a patient’s self-esteem and confidence since it gives the feeling of regaining the real teeth.
- It functions better than conventional dental bridges and dentures.
- It gives superior aesthetic results.
Dental Implant Anatomy
Bone Grafting - Sinus Lift
After teeth are lost, the jawbone in the area begins to resorb or remodel. Over a period of time, this bone loss can become severe, leaving an insufficient amount of bone remaining to place dental implants. Through various bone grafting techniques, bone can be added to these deficient areas, thus regenerating the bone which had been lost. The two most common types of bone grafting procedures performed in the office are called the sinus lift and ridge augmentation.

Procedures Involved
The surgery can commence after thorough diagnosis and treatment planning. A recipient site of the same size and shape as the implant is created in the jawbone with drilling instruments. The implant is inserted into the site prepared. Usually, a healing period of 3 to 6 months is required for the jawbone to fuse with the implant. The jawbone has different densities in different areas – the denser the bone, the shorter the healing period. After this healing period, the prosthesis is constructed over the implant and the treatment is completed. Usually, a straightforward implant treatment takes about 4 to 7 months to complete. Longer periods are required for complex situation such as cases requiring bone grafting.
How is the operation arranged?
The operation will be performed under aseptic condition usually in a clinic with the proper facilities and conditions for dental implant surgery.
Local anesthesia is given for pain control during the operation. Intravenous can be given if necessary. Pain, which may occur after the operation, can be effectively controlled with dental medications. The prosthetic part pf the implant treatment does not require anesthesia.
How successful is the treatment?
Modern dental implant treatment is highly successful, as a general guideline, the five-year success rate of dental implant is over 95% with the lower jaw (mandible) and about 90% with upper jaw (maxilla). The success rates may slowly decrease as the implant stays longer in function. In difficult cases, the success rates are expected to be lower. Despite the overall high success rates with dental implant treatment, there is still the possibility of failure, which can be contributed by various factors and conditions, such as poor healing power, poor bone quality, smoking and diabetes.
Safety
Whereas no medical treatment can be guaranteed 100 percent without risks and failures, implant operation can be considered very safe. The prosthetic phase of treatment is basically non –invasive and non-surgical in nature.
