What Are Dental Implants? Complete Overview
Dental implants are sophisticated titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a stable, permanent foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering the most natural and durable tooth replacement option available in modern dentistry. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants actually stimulate bone growth and prevent jawbone deterioration.
Three Components of a Complete Dental Implant System:
- Implant Fixture (Root): Biocompatible titanium post surgically placed in jawbone
- Abutment (Connector): Connects the implant to the crown
- Crown (Visible Tooth): Custom-made porcelain or ceramic tooth

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
How painful is dental implant surgery?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after implant surgery. Local anesthesia ensures you feel no pain during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and usually subsides within 2-3 days.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last 25+ years or even a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself rarely fails once properly integrated.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes! Once fully healed, dental implants restore 95% of your natural chewing power. You can eat all your favorite foods without restrictions, unlike with dentures or bridges.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a success rate of 95-98% when performed by qualified oral surgeons. At Expert Dental, our success rate exceeds 98% due to careful patient selection, advanced techniques, and comprehensive aftercare.
Am I too old for dental implants?
Age alone is not a limiting factor for dental implants. We have successfully placed implants in patients in their 80s and 90s. Overall health and bone density are more important factors than chronological age.
How soon can I return to work after implant surgery?
Most patients can return to desk work within 24-48 hours. Physical labor may require 3-5 days of rest. We provide detailed post-operative instructions based on your specific job requirements.
Advanced Implant Techniques & Innovations
Immediate Loading (Same-Day Teeth):
Selected patients can receive temporary crowns immediately after implant placement, allowing you to leave with a complete smile the same day.
Minimally Invasive Surgery:
Advanced surgical techniques reduce tissue trauma, minimize bleeding, and accelerate healing times.
Zygomatic Implants:
For patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, we offer zygomatic implants that anchor in the cheekbone, avoiding the need for extensive bone grafting.
Guided Bone Regeneration:
Advanced techniques to regenerate lost bone tissue, making implants possible even in challenging cases.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
Accelerated healing using your body's own growth factors to promote faster osseointegration.
