What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium, screw-shaped tooth root replacements that Dr. Sri places in your jawbone. During healing, your implant will integrate with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, providing a secure and stable foundation for one, some, or a complete set of missing teeth.
At Ateeth Dental Care, we offer a range of implant restorations, including the following:
- Single Crown: A dental crown placed on an implant is ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, providing a seamless match to your natural teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant-supported bridges offer a permanent solution for replacing multiple teeth in a row, providing excellent stability, function, and aesthetics.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Also known as overdentures, implant-supported dentures offer exceptional comfort and stability compared to traditional dentures, restoring your ability to chew, eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence.
- All-on-4s: These superior full-arch restorations use as few as four implants to support an entire set of replacement teeth, providing an incredibly secure and efficient solution for complete tooth loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium, screw-shaped posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Through a process called osseointegration, the implant fuses with your bone to create a stable, permanent foundation for replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a 95-98% success rate when properly placed and maintained. With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, implants can last a lifetime.
What are my options for implant-supported restorations?
Dental implants can support several types of restorations: single crowns for individual missing teeth, implant-supported bridges for multiple adjacent missing teeth, implant-supported dentures (overdentures) for enhanced stability, and All-on-4 restorations using four implants to replace an entire arch of teeth.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Good candidates for dental implants generally have good oral and overall health, no active gum disease, adequate bone density to support the implant, and commitment to proper oral hygiene. If you lack sufficient bone, Ateeth Dental Care offers bone grafting and ridge preservation procedures to create a proper foundation.
How do dental implants prevent bone loss?
When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in that area begins to deteriorate because it no longer receives stimulation from chewing forces. Dental implants replace the tooth root and stimulate the bone just like natural teeth, preventing the bone loss that occurs with bridges or dentures.
