DENTAL IMPLANTS VS DENTAL BRIDGES? WHICH ONE IS BETTER
Missing teeth and do you want a fixed teeth option?? then Dental Implant and Dental Bridge are the only two options to get fixed teeth. But am sure you are wondering which one is better and which one to opt for??
In the past, a dental bridge was the only non-removable option, and if it involves more than just the missing tooth. The adjacent teeth need to be “prepped” by removing most of the enamel in order to fabricate the tooth bridge. With dental implants however, the dentist replaces just the individual tooth for a result that is stronger and permanent.
All it takes is a simple dental procedure to get your dental bridge fixed. It’s much quicker and easier to get dental bridges (only a few weeks at the most), whereas implants may take several months. Bridges are generally more affordable than implants, and they are still strong and supportive for your mouth.
But there are disadvantages in having dental bridges :
* The supporting teeth for the bridge on both ends should be strong and healthy.If one or both of them are weak .Bridge is not recommended.
* Since they are not removable, they are more difficult to maintain.
* Some of the natural surrounding teeth will be removed for the placement of dental bridges.
* Although they last for several years, they still need to be replaced every 10 years.
Changes in Your Oral Care Routine
Your ability to keep your mouth healthy will be easier with an implant. Dental bridges are cemented or “fixed” in the mouth, and involve at least three crowns connected together to fill the space of the missing tooth. This design creates challenges when brushing and flossing, so extra oral hygiene instruction and meticulous home care are crucial.
Implants also support jaw health. Your bone stays healthy and strong, which impacts both the shape of your face and oral health positively as you age. Implants naturally mimic the function and feel of a real tooth and often look better than bridges
COMPUTER-GUIDED DENTAL IMPLANT SURGERY
WHAT IS IMAGE-GUIDED DENTAL IMPLANT
Guided dental implantology is a type of computer guided surgery performed using 3D radiographic and surface scan information to achieve predictable, safe and minimally invasive placement of dental implants.
Computerized tomography provides information about the position of the nerve canals, anatomical structures to safeguard these during implant placement procedure.
How is image-guided digital dental implant performed?
A 3D simulated procedure is carried out to plan the surgical procedure by the Dentist.
The implant position too is planned digitally for utmost accuracy.
What are the advantages of guided dental implant?
The advantages of guided dental implant are many-
1.Guided Dental Implant surgery causes least pain and discomfort to the patients post surgery.
2.Guided Dental implant is the most safe and predictable as it helps you to avoid any damage to important structures during the surgery
3.The patient can resume his/her daily routine as its minimally invasive surgical procedure.
Digital treatment planning also helps to identify any bone deficiencies or complications that can hamper the implant placement & help the doctor to be prepared during the surgery.
What affects the cost of guided dental implant?
Although majority of people perceive that the guided dental implant surgeries are costly, latest technologies in dentistry have made such advance dental treatments more affordable to all.The cost depends on several factors such as number of missing teeth etc
For example, if a patient needs one implant, the cost is much less than what is required for several implants. Moreover, cost will increase in case of patients who need bone grafting or jaw reconstruction to place the implant because their jaw bone may be deficient.

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
The dental implant is designed to replace the natural tooth root. Made from medical-grade titanium, this lightweight yet durable post safely fuses with the bone beneath the gumline and serves as a stable foundation for the dental crown visible above the gums.
Removable dentures and other conventional tooth replacement methods do not prevent bone loss and, in fact, accelerate this destructive process.
Chewing, biting, and other functions stimulate the jawbone. When teeth are missing, the supportive bone doesn’t get stimulation needed to remain strong. Just as the muscles can atrophy due to inactivity, bone can be affected by lack of stimulation. As the bone melts away (resorbs), the appearance of the face changes.
Cheeks and lips need support from the teeth to maintain their youthful appearance. The lower third of the face retreats. Cheeks become hollow. These changes can make patients look older than they really are.
Bone loss can negatively affect every aspect of life. Chewing foods becomes challenging. Nutrition suffers. Some words may become difficult to pronounce correctly.
Why All on four All on 4 Dental?
Instant improvement in the quality of life
The All on four Dental treatment concept offers patients with a permanent full-arch prosthesis on 4 or more dental implants on the very day of surgery. This improves patient satisfaction in terms of esthetics, function, speech, and confidence.
Reduced treatment time
Two main elements reduce the treatment complexity, overall treatment time and the number of surgeries: tilting of the posterior implants avoids the need for long and tiring bone grafting treatments, while instant loading reduces time to teeth.
Reasonable
The treatment is not just quick but also pretty cost-effective in comparison to conventional implant treatments of the edentulous jaw.
More Stability
To increase bone-to-implant contact, two long posterior implants are tilted. These tilted dental implants can be attached to better quality anterior bone, reducing cantilevers and helping to avoid anatomical structures.
Immediate patient satisfaction
Attain Immediate Function
Due to dedicated drilling protocols and design, our implants attain high stability instantly. Therefore, all our implants can be loaded with a permanent restoration on the same day of surgery.
Provide finest esthetics
Our unrivaled product quality, easy handling and long-term predictability is proven to deliver patient satisfaction.
Sequence of treatment
Examination and planning
The first two visits include extensive planning including an examination, x-rays, bite registration, model analysis.
Surgery
- Morning (2-4 hours)
The surgery begins by extraction of the remaining teeth and placement of FOUR dental implants on each arch. The process takes place under local anesthesia. - Afternoon (2-4 hours)
Once the patient has recovered from the anesthesia and surgery, we fabricate a short-term prosthesis that is attached onto the implants. Since this step needs to be extremely precise it is time consuming.
Settling period
The patient needs to wear a temporary prosthesis which is fixed onto the implant for a couple of months. During this time, we request our patients to see us frequently to make sure everything is okay.
Final prosthesis:
Once the gums and implants have completely healed, we will construct a final prosthesis that has a titanium framework.
