Understanding Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

If you are missing one or more teeth, you might be struggling with chewing, speaking clearly, or feeling confident in your smile. At Hamro Multispecialty Dental Clinic in Bhaktapur, we highly recommend dental implants as the most durable and natural-looking solution available today.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root made of biocompatible titanium. It is surgically placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the top, providing a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

• Permanent Solution: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
• Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that usually occurs after losing a tooth.
• No Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Unlike dental bridges, implants do not require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth.
• Natural Function: You can eat your favorite foods without worrying about slipping dentures.

The Procedure at Hamro Dental Clinic

The implant process takes place over several appointments. First, we conduct a thorough 3D scan of your jaw. If your bone density is sufficient, the implant is placed under local anesthesia. After a healing period of 3 to 6 months, an abutment is placed, and finally, your custom porcelain crown is permanently attached.
