Dental Implants
A fixed tooth-replacement option using an implant to support a crown or other restoration.
Depending on how many teeth are missing, an implant may support a crown, a bridge, or an implant-supported denture. An implant assessment considers your gums, jawbone, medical history and treatment goals.
Planning a replacement tooth
An implant is placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth. Whether it is suitable depends on an individual examination and the condition of the supporting tissues.
The dentist discusses the steps, healing time, maintenance and other options such as a bridge or denture before treatment is planned.
Long-term care
Implant restorations need regular cleaning and dental reviews, just like natural teeth. The dentist will explain how to care for the restoration and surrounding gums.
Dr. Archana Mal's postgraduate specialisation is in Periodontics, which includes the gums and supporting structures relevant to implant care.
Treatment suitability, steps and outcomes vary. The dentist will assess your needs and explain options before care begins.
