Dental implants are a modern solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a durable and natural-looking result. Whether due to decay, disease, or injury, losing a tooth can significantly affect your smile’s aesthetics and functionality. Here, we provide an in-depth look at what dental implants are, their benefits, and the procedure involved.

What is
Dental Implant
Implant (Post): This is the titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. It serves as the root of the replacement tooth, providing a stable foundation. Titanium is used because it is biocompatible, meaning it integrates well with the bone over time in a process call osseointegration.
Abutment: The abutment is a small connector piece that sits on top of the implant post. It connects the implant to the restoration (Crown, bridge or denture). The abutment is typically screwed or cemented into place atier the implant has fused with the bone.
Restoration (Crown, Bridge or Denture): The restoration is the visible part of the implant and is custom-made to match your natural teeth in size, shape and colour. It can be a single crown( for one missing tooth), a bridge (for multiple missing teeth) or a denture (for larger area that tooth loss). The restoration is attached to the abutment and completes the implant process.
Guided Dental Implant Surgery at
Bling Dental
At Bling Dental, we are proud to offer guided dental implant surgery, also referred to as computer-guided or digitally assisted implant placement. This advanced technique in implant den stry u lises latest technology to achieve excep onal precision, safety, and aesthetic outcomes.
What is
Guided Implant Surgery
Guided implant surgery involves the integration of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create a highly detailed, three-dimensional treatment plan. This digital workflow allows for accurate assessment of the patient’s anatomical structures and enables precise planning of implant positioning prior to surgery.
Benefit of
Guided Implant Surgery Compared to Traditional Methods
1. Enhanced Accuracy
Digital planning ensures implants are positioned with exceptional precision in relation the surrounding bone, nerves, and other vital anatomical structures, significantly reducing the risk of complications.
2. Greater Predictability
The ability to determine the ideal implant size, angulation, and location in advance contributes to more predictable surgical outcomes and improved long-term success rates.
3. Minimally Invasive Approach
With the use of a surgical guide, the procedure often requires smaller incisions and causes less trauma to the surrounding tissues. This typically results in reduced postoperative discomfort and a faster healing period.
4. Increased Efficiency
The digital planning process reduces the likelihood of intraoperative adjustments, leading to a more seamless surgical procedure, shorter chair time, and potentially fewer clinical visits.
5. Improved Patient Communication
The use of 3D imaging and virtual treatment simulations enhances patient understanding and involvement, allowing for clearer communication regarding expected outcomes and procedural steps.

Procedures in
Dental Implants
Evaluation and Planning
Initial Consultation: Includes a review of medical history, dental examination, and imaging tests (like X-rays or CT scans) to assess bone density and vital structure.
Treatment Planning: Your dentist will develop a tailored treatment plan, considering factors like the implant location and the number of teeth that need replacement.
Implant Placement
Preparation of the Site: If a damaged tooth is present, it will be extracted prior to the implant placement.
Implant Insertion: The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, under local anesthesia or sedation.
Healing Period: A healing period of several months follows where osseointegration occurs – the implant bonds with the bone.
Abutment and Crown Placement
Abutment Placement: Once healing is confirmed, the abutment is attached to the implant. This may require a minor surgical procedure to expose the implant if it’s covered by gum tissue.
Digital Scan: Captures highly detailed, ensuring it seamless blends in with surrounding teeth providing incredibly accurate and precise’s result. Unlike traditional methods that involve messy impressions, digital scan is far more comfortable.
Final Crown Attachment: The crown is then attached to the abutment. Adjustments may be made to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite.
Follow-Up and Care
Post-Procedure Care: Instructions on how to care for the implant area will be provided, including hygiene practices and follow-up visits.
Regular Check-Ups: Periodic check-ups are crucial to ensure the health and functioning of the implant and to address any issues early.
