Description
Implants can replace tooth roots and support restorations to address any degree of tooth loss. With CT scans, guided surgery, and other advanced technology, implant placement has become more precise and predictable, leading to better results for patients. The whole process typically takes about 4–6 months, and many patients are surprised by how easy we make it. With proper care, your dental implants can last for decades.

Dental implants
is a gold standard care now.
00:00:02.833 --> 00:00:05.833
This is a substitute for missing teeth.
00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:09.800
We have a lot of people coming
with either broken down dentition
00:00:09.867 --> 00:00:14.199
or trauma to a tooth
where there is nothing that they can do
00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:17.040
except replacing that missing space
with an implant.
00:00:17.107 --> 00:00:18.567
The good thing about the implant,
00:00:18.634 --> 00:00:21.600
so predictable at this point
in terms of the placement
00:00:21.667 --> 00:00:25.653
and with technology
such as CT scans, guided surgery,
00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:28.333
the whole process,
seeing a patient for a first time
00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:33.453
and final outcome processes,
it usually will take about 4-6 months,
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.151
but depending on the amount of bone
they have and condition...
00:00:38.351 --> 00:00:40.893
If any other procedures
are required to do.
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.720
When you compare implants
with other tooth replacement options,
00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:49.200
I think most of people will say
that it still feels like their own teeth
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.120
and it's easier to maintain, clean.
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.372
Results vary, but most of people will say,
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.067
"Well, I didn't expect that
it's going to be such an easy process."
00:00:58.200 --> 00:00:59.295
With an implant,
00:00:59.367 --> 00:01:02.173
I would say long-term success
comes with one thing.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.960
Once implants are placed,
they need to be maintained.
00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:09.733
We encourage patients to come
for prophylactic care every 3 months,
00:01:09.800 --> 00:01:12.835
3-4 months to our practice
or general dentists
00:01:12.902 --> 00:01:16.659
to make sure that we check
on the amount of bone around them,
00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:18.720
make sure that hygiene were great,
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.967
to make sure that long-term success
of the implants depends
00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:26.133
not only on successful placement
of the implant, but on the care.
