Dental Implantation: What Is It?
Dental implantation is a procedure in which a titanium implant is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. An abutment and a custom-made crown, bridge or denture are placed once the implant has fused with the bone. This procedure helps in a strong foundation for speaking and chewing by mimicking both the functional and aesthetic qualities of a tooth. Because for implants we use biocompatible titanium or ceramic, they can fuse with bone tissue to form a stable fixation that resembles that of natural tooth roots. This integration aids in maintaining bone mass and halting more atrophy, which occurs frequently after tooth loss.

Types of Implants and Their Differences
- Endosteal Implants: Placed into the jawbone and is suitable for most patients.
- Subperiosteal Implants: Positioned on the bone under the gums, used when there is insufficient bone volume.
- Ceramic and titanium implants: popular materials; ceramic implants are more visually pleasing and appropriate for people who have an allergy to metals, while titanium implants are more widely used because of their longevity.
How Does the Process of Dental Implantation Work?
Initial Consultation and Assessment
To ensure whether you are a good candidate for implants, the dentist does a thorough analysis with imaging techniques like X-rays or 3D scans to assess your oral health.
Implant
Placement
The titanium implant is surgically inserted into the mandible while under local anaesthetic. Sedation options could be provided for more complicated cases or for the comfort of the patient. Depending on how many implants are needed, the process typically takes 1-2 hours.
Osseointegration and Healing
Osseointegration, the process by which the implant bonds with the jawbone, usually takes a few months. This ensures the implant is securely integrated and ready to support a prosthetic tooth.
Abutment
Placement
An abutment is fastened to the implant after it has healed. The final restoration is supported by this connecting element.
Fitting for Crown, Bridge or Denture
A specially created crown, bridge or denture is manufactured and firmly affixed to the abutment. This is a last stage of restoration, which provides a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement.
