FAQs
Dental implants are made of titanium metal, and they replace one or more missing teeth in one or both jaws.

Dental implants are a suitable option for most candidates. At garden city smiles, our dentist will conduct a clinical examination and diagnostic imaging, apart from history taking -in order to assess the possibility of implants. However, for some conditions, implants may not be the best option.

Dental Implants are the best replacement solution for missing teeth since its more natural and mimic a natural tooth in its form and function. The benefit of implant over bridges is, it would not require any procedures on the adjacent tooth for support. As they are rigidly anchored to bone, one doesn’t have to remove them at night, unlike dentures. Placement of implants helps to a great extent in preventing loss of bone, which is usually seen when a tooth is missing at that site.
The process takes several steps, and the treatment period varies between patients. It may last several months, however, in some cases, implants can be placed and restored with crowns/bridges immediately.
Dental implants have been a success for more than three decades. Good oral hygiene practices will ensure a long-lasting result.
