Dental Implant
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental Implants are advanced tooth replacement solutions designed to restore missing teeth permanently. They consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement.
Dental implants are considered the most durable and long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth, as they look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Types of Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implant
Replaces a single missing tooth with a natural-looking and durable solution that restores both function and aesthetics.
Multiple Implants
Designed to replace several missing teeth, maintaining proper bite function and preserving jawbone health.
All-on-4 Implants
A full-arch restoration using just four implants, providing a fast, stable, and efficient solution for patients missing most or all teeth.
All-on-6 / All-on-8 Implants
Offers strong and reliable support for complete mouth reconstruction, ideal for patients with multiple missing teeth.
Basal Implants
A minimally invasive and fast solution for patients with reduced bone density, designed for immediate function.
Mini Implants
Smaller-sized implants commonly used to stabilize dentures or replace teeth in areas with limited bone.

Risks of Dental Implants
While dental implants are a safe and highly successful solution for replacing missing teeth, certain factors can influence their success. These include bone and gum health, implant placement accuracy, oral hygiene, systemic conditions like diabetes, vitamin D levels, and lifestyle habits such as smoking.
Although dental implants have a success rate of over 95%, minor complications may occasionally occur, such as swelling, infection, or, in rare cases, implant failure.
At Oronova Dental Care, we minimize these risks through advanced digital planning, precise surgical techniques, and thorough post-operative care instructions, ensuring that your implant treatment is safe, predictable, and effective.
Tips for Implant Care:
- Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene
Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss regularly, paying special attention to the area around the implant. - Use Implant-Friendly Cleaning Tools
Interdental brushes, water flossers, or specialized floss can help clean hard-to-reach areas around your implants. - Regular Dental Check-Ups
Visit your dentist for routine exams and professional cleaning every 6 months, or as recommended. - Avoid Smoking
Smoking can compromise healing and reduce the longevity of dental implants. - Avoid Excessive Force
Avoid chewing extremely hard foods, ice, or non-food objects that can damage the crown or implant. - Monitor for Changes
Watch for signs of discomfort, swelling, or loosening, and report any concerns to your dentist promptly.
At Oronova Dental Care, we provide personalized guidance to help you maintain your implants and protect your investment in a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
