Dental Implants

Dental Implants are medical devices made of Titanium/ Zirconia and are surgically implanted in Jaw bone or skull for making prosthesis e.g. crown, bridge or denture. Dental implants bond with the jaw bone which is known as Osseoinegration.
There are various protocols of placement..
Conventional Protocol. First Implant is placed in an edentulous area and then prosthesis is made after variable period of time.
Immediate Implant Placement- Implant is placed at the time of Extraction and then Prosthesis is made after variable period of time.
Sinus Lift- In case bone height is less Sinus lift procedures is required for Implant placement. In this procedure sinus lining is lifted either through the Implant placement region (Intra Sinus Lift) or through a Window made on lateral side of Upper jaw. This procedure will also require bone granules (Alloplastic Bone Grafts).
