About This Treatment

Advanced Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. At Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre in Salem, we provide titanium implants that integrate with your jawbone to create a strong, permanent foundation for artificial teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

The implant procedure involves surgically placing a titanium post into your jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. After osseointegration (bone fusion) over 3-6 months, a custom crown is attached to complete your restoration. Implants prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and offer unmatched stability.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them the most cost-effective long-term solution for missing teeth. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, we create personalized implant treatment plans tailored to your needs.

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration), a custom ceramic crown is attached, creating a permanent tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one. At Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre in Salem, implants have a 95–98% success rate.

Common Questions

FAQs

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 25+ years to a lifetime! Studies show 95-98% of implants are still functioning perfectly after 10 years, and 90%+ after 20 years. The titanium implant itself rarely fails once osseointegrated (fused with bone). The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant foundation remains permanent. Keys to longevity: maintain excellent oral hygiene, quit smoking, attend regular dental checkups, and avoid biting very hard objects. Implants are the most durable tooth replacement option available!

Is dental implant surgery painful?

No. Implant placement is done under local anesthesia so you feel pressure and vibration, not pain. Mild soreness for 2-3 days is typical and eased with over-the-counter pain relief—many patients find it easier than an extraction. For anxious patients we offer sedation options. Precise 3D planning and experienced surgeons at Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre keep the procedure comfortable from start to finish.

How long does the implant procedure take?

Surgery time: 30-60 minutes per implant. Full timeline: Stage 1: place the titanium implant. Healing: 3-6 months for bone fusion (temporary tooth provided). Stage 2: crown placement (about 1 hour). Some cases allow immediate loading, but traditional healing gives the best long-term success. You can eat and function normally with a soft diet during healing.

Am I too old for dental implants?

Absolutely not! There's no upper age limit for dental implants. We successfully place implants in patients from age 18 to 90+. As long as you have adequate jawbone density and are in reasonably good health, age is just a number. In fact, many seniors choose implants to regain chewing efficiency and avoid denture discomfort. Minimum age is typically 18-21 when jaw growth is complete. Medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or active cancer may require special precautions, but most patients qualify. At Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre, we evaluate each patient individually to determine suitability!

What if I don't have enough bone for implants?

No problem! We offer bone grafting procedures to build up insufficient bone. Bone loss is common after tooth extraction, but it doesn't disqualify you from implants. Options include: Bone grafting: Adding synthetic or donor bone material to thicken jawbone. Sinus lift: Raising sinus floor to create space for upper implants. Ridge expansion: Widening narrow jaw ridges. These procedures add 3-6 months to treatment but significantly improve success rates. At Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre, we use 3D CBCT scans to assess bone quality and plan the best approach for your unique situation!

Can I eat normally with dental implants?

Yes. After healing (3-6 months) you can eat almost anything—implants restore 80-90% of natural chewing force, far above dentures. Right after surgery, stick to soft foods for 2-3 weeks, then reintroduce a normal diet gradually. Because implants are anchored in bone, they do not slip or limit your food choices.

How do I care for dental implants?

Treat implants like natural teeth. Daily: brush twice with a soft brush, floss (or water floss) once, and use antimicrobial rinse. Professional: cleanings/checkups every 6 months to prevent peri-implantitis. Avoid smoking (raises failure risk), biting very hard objects (ice, pen caps), and skipping hygiene. With routine care, implants need no special maintenance.

What's the success rate of dental implants?

Dental implants have an outstanding 95-98% success rate! This makes them one of the most predictable dental procedures. Success depends on: Surgeon experience (our team has placed 1000+ implants), bone quality (assessed with 3D scans), patient health (non-smokers, controlled diabetes), and post-op care (following instructions). Lower jaw implants have slightly higher success (98%) than upper jaw (95%). The rare failures usually occur within first 6 months due to failure to osseointegrate, easily corrected with second attempt. At Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre, our success rate exceeds the national average!
