Why Choose Dental Implants for Missing Teeth?
Why Choose Dental Implants for Missing Teeth?
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the implant is securely in place, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to it, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants provide a permanent solution that mimics the natural structure of your teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants provide numerous benefits, including:
- Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, making them a great choice for those looking for a permanent and natural-looking solution.
- Enhanced Functionality: Implants restore chewing and speaking abilities, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term option.
- Preserve Jawbone Health: Dental implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur when teeth are missing.

The Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant process typically involves several steps, and both Dr. Brijesh Maskey and Prof. Dr. Pranay Shakya work together to ensure that the procedure is as smooth and comfortable as possible:
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, where we assess your oral health and determine if dental implants are right for you. This includes a detailed examination and digital X-rays to evaluate your jawbone and surrounding structures.
Step 2: Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia or sedation, Prof. Dr. Pranay Shakya will perform the surgical procedure to place the implant into the jawbone. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root and will fuse with the bone over time in a process called osseointegration.
Step 3: Healing and Osseointegration
After the implant is placed, it will take a few months for the bone to fully fuse with the implant. During this time, you may wear a temporary crown or restoration for aesthetics and comfort.
Step 4: Attaching the Permanent Restoration
Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, Dr. Brijesh Maskey will design and attach the permanent restoration, which could be a crown, bridge, or denture. This is customized to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color.
