Dental Implant – Best Treatment for Tooth Replacement.
“THE BEST FOR TOOTH REPLECEMENT”
Versatile And Long-Lasting Approach For Tooth
Replacement and Denture Support
If you’ve never been a dental implant patient before, the concept and process can be confusing and foreign. Dental, implants have become the gold standard for tooth replacement after being introduced to dentistry in the early 1980s due to how versatile and predictable they are. Dental implants have become quite common in Gujarat, with more people choosing implants to replace their missing teeth.
Dental implants are made of titanium, one of the most bio-compatible materials on the market, which means even if you have a metal allergy you are still likely to be an excellent candidate for implants. The implant is designed to function as the root of a tooth, meaning it is placed entirely in the jaw bone, just as your tooth’s natural root is. The top portion of the implant can be a single tooth, a part of a bridge helping to replace multiple teeth, or a component designed to improve a denture or partial denture.
Why do I Need a Dental Implant?
Because it is The Gold Standard
A Dental Implant is used to replace a missing tooth. Whether you’ve already lost one or more teeth or have just been told that a tooth needs to be removed, the impact can be devastating.
No one likes the idea that their smile will be incomplete, and we all rely on every one of our teeth for eating, speaking and smiling with ease. In years past, the only solutions for tooth loss were bridges or dentures: artificial teeth that would anchor to either other teeth in your mouth, or to your gums. Neither of these solutions could actually replace teeth in a way that felt natural, and often they could lead to other problems – additional tooth loss, pain, and deterioration of the bones that define the very structure and character of your face.
Modern dentistry provides a better solution to the problem of tooth loss: dental implants. Whether you receive one, several, or an entire arch of implants, the result will be true replacements for your own teeth that let you eat, smile and speak naturally. When you get them from Dr Maitrey Bhalodia at Harsha Hospital no one will know that they aren’t your natural teeth, unless you tell them.
What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are an advanced tooth replacement option for lost or severely damaged teeth. They are made of a titanium post inserted and have a customized implant restoration firmly affixed to the top. The implant posts are inserted directly in the jawbone, designed to merge with bone tissue through osseointegration, a natural process. When the implanted post heals appropriately, it can be used as a stable anchor for connecting customized implant prosthetics such as single implant crowns, multi-tooth implant bridges, or full arch dentures.
Dental implants of high quality can provide exceptional stability, functionality, appearance, and durability. Very few dental practitioners are skilled in performing dental implants in Rajkot. And Harsha Hospital is one of the pioneers in basal implants in Rajkot.

Are you a candidate for dental implants?
The ideal candidate for dental implants is in good general and oral health. Adequate bone in your jaw is required to support the implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.It is extremely important for the patient to undergo a comprehensive examination to determine if he or she is a good candidate for the procedure. The dentist will evaluate the patient’s medical and dental history. X-rays and sometimes a computerized axial tomography scan (CT scan) will have to be carried out to evaluate the condition of the jawbones including the texture and quality of bone available for implant placement. Radiographic imaging also helps in assessing the location of adjacent nerves and sinuses. Medical problems such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus will certainly cause failure of dental implants.Meticulous treatment planning is extremely important for undergoing dental implant procedures.
Do implants hurt?
For any patient who has not had an implant before, pain is usually heavy on their mind. Fear not! It’s truly a daily experience for us to hear how easy the process was or how shocked someone is with the lack of discomfort and swelling.
Bone itself has very little feeling. Gums have feeling, but discomfort in these areas is very easily controlled with mild medication. We believe Gentle Surgery at HarshaHospital, When able to work in a small space, the discomfort is essentially limited to the tiny area of gums around where the new implant is, which is very easy to manage.
The best part is your body produces that medication naturally, so no one is allergic to it and it’s very safe! We strive to make every procedure as comfortable as possible.
What all Can I eat after implant?
You are allow to eat soft diet for initial three days after that you are allowed to eat normal regular diet with both side.
How long will it last?
When well maintained with proper cleaning at home as well as professional dental cleaning, basal implants can be expected to last for 3 to 15 years. However, as with crowns, bridges and fillings, they may need to be replaced at some point.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Your dental implants will function just the same as your natural teeth, so you need to make sure you look after them with the same amount of care. At Harsha Hospital we are very passionate about good oral hygiene. By properly brushing and flossing your teeth every day.and you must get regular check up done wheather you have a problem or not.

2. Conventional Implant
Conventional Implant have three main components: a titanium screw fixture (which is placed into the jawbone), an abutment (which is attached to the screw), and a crown that is either all ceramic or porcelain fused to precious metal (which is placed on the abutment)
How Conventional Implants Work:
Stage 1
Before a conventional implant can be placed you start with an empty space left by a missing tooth, or if there is a damaged tooth it will need to be removed.
Stage 2
The first stage of the procedure involves placing a small titanium screw into your jawbone. Titanium is a highly biocompatible material and therefore integrates with the bone tissue to form a new, stable tooth “root”. The implant takes three to six months to fuse with the bone and form a solid structure.
Stage 3
When the bone has healed around the implant, an abutment is attached to the implant fixture. This is a ceramic or titanium component that ensures a secure fit between the dental implant and the crown.
Stage 4
Once the dental implant and the abutment are in place, we fit the porcelain crown up to the edge of the gum line to replicate a natural tooth. The dental implant is now complete. In most cases, it is virtually impossible to see the difference between your own natural teeth and the new implant tooth
How long will it last?
When well maintained with proper cleaning at home as well as professional dental cleaning, conventional implants can be expected to last for 10 to 15 years. However, as with crowns, bridges and fillings, they may need to be replaced at some point.
