Dental implants

When a single tooth is missing / extracted, whether it is in front or back segment of jaws, they need to be replaced otherwise the teeth on the both sides and the tooth in opposing jaw, tend to grow and tilt towards the missing tooth area. With side teeth tilting in the open space, patients face problems in chewing, cleaning and eventually decay starts to happen in the side teeth. The tooth in the opposing jaw also grow towards the open space, causing interference in bite and decay in the teeth next to it.
A missing tooth in front is a big cosmetic problem, and rather a cosmetic emergency as it hampers the normal smile. People with a hectic social and professional life, cannot afford to be without proper set of ‘social teeth’.
Single implant is the ideal solution in such a case. And with advancements now, dental implant can be placed at the same time when the tooth is being extracted. This is called Immediate placement of implants.

When multiple teeth are missing or badly decayed, the same can be replaced with help of multiple dental implant placement. At Happy Braces, immediate dental implantation technique is routinely followed even when multiple teeth need to be implanted.
On complete healing of bone, implant supported teeth or bridges are given, which function like normal teeth for chewing and aesthetic purposes.

When all teeth are missing or need to be replaced, full jaw implantation can also be done. Depending on the condition of bone available, there are several techniques for providing full mouth/ full jaw implant supported fixed teeth/ denture.
Usually one full jaw needs minimum 4 to maximum 12 dental implants to restore a proper chewing function. At Happy Braces, a team of implantologists take care of full mouth or full jaw cases, and all the implants can be placed in a single sitting. This avoids repeat medication, downtime and repeat surgical issues. Of course needless to say, all dental implant surgery is PAINLESS!!!
