Advanced Dental Implants and Dental Oral Surgery Solutions
If you're looking for a solution to missing or damaged teeth, our Dental Implants may be the perfect option for you. Our procedure involves replacing the roots of your teeth with metal pins that look like screws and then placing an artificial tooth that looks and functions just like a real one. Our specialist, Dr. Kamran Raja, is an expert in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and performs this procedure through oral surgery.
During surgery, the gums are opened and the bone is exposed. The metal post of the dental implant is then placed deep into the bone to serve as the root of the tooth. We offer a well-accepted alternative to dentures or bridges that do not fit well or when a lack of natural tooth roots does not allow for traditional tooth replacements. You deserve to have a beautiful smile again! Don't wait any longer, schedule a consultation with us today to see if Dental Implants are the perfect solution for you.
Comprehensive Guide: How We Perfectly Insert Your Dental Implant
Our dental implant procedure is conducted in a meticulously sterile environment, ensuring precision and safety. With the option of sedation, provided by our expert anesthesiologists, we make sure you're comfortable every step of the way.
In the first step, the dental implant is carefully placed beneath the gum line, exactly where your natural tooth root used to be. This implant is then left to integrate with the bone, ensuring a stable foundation for your new tooth.
Once the implant has successfully fused with your bone, the second step involves a minor surgical procedure to gently expose the implant by removing a small portion of the gum that covers it. This allows us to access the implant and proceed with the next stages.
In this critical step, we carefully attach the abutment to the dental implant. The abutment acts as a connector between the implant and your future dental crown, ensuring that your new tooth will fit perfectly and function just like a natural one.
In the final step, our expert dentists craft a custom dental crown that perfectly matches your natural teeth. This crown is securely attached to the abutment, completing your smile restoration. With your new implant, you’ll enjoy the confidence of a beautiful, natural-looking smile that lasts a lifetime.

How painful is getting a dental implant?
The dental implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the surgery. However, some discomfort and swelling may occur after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, use an antibacterial mouthwash, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoid hard or sticky foods that can damage the implant.
What are the risks and complications of dental implants?
While dental implants have a high success rate, there are some risks and complications to be aware of, such as infection, implant failure, nerve damage, and sinus problems. Your dentist will discuss these risks with you and take steps to minimize them.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most people who are missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant are candidates for dental implants. However, certain medical conditions and lifestyle factors, such as smoking, may affect eligibility.
