What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are artificial screws made of titanium or zirconium oxide that connect the jawbone and a dental restoration like a crown or denture. They are also called ‘endosseous’ implants or fixtures. They are an artificial tooth root. Once implanted, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone like part of the body. Dental surgeons perform bone grafting procedures to hold the implant in place for patients who do not have enough surrounding bone structure, or graft bone to help connect implants to the maxillary sinuses on either side of the nose when placing dental implants in the upper jaw.

How long does it take to fit a Dental Implant?

The time taken for inserting dental implants depends on the bone structure and needs of each individual patient. Some implant procedures take about 15 minutes while others may take up to two hours. Implant procedures are performed under local anaesthesia. Intravenous sedation is used for the comfort of anxious patients.

How long does it take to recover after getting a Dental Implant?

Recovery time after a dental implant procedure may take four to six weeks or up to 12 weeks for some patients. Patients can travel one day after the insertion of a single dental implant. Patients who require multiple dental implants or supporting surgical procedures should wait for around two weeks before travelling. They should meet the dental surgeon to get a certification of being fit to travel before embarking on their journey.

What should I do after getting a Dental Implant?

Patients should rest and avoid exertion after surgery. They should also avoid vigorously brushing their teeth or rinsing their mouth.

What are the alternatives to Dental Implants?

Alternatives to dental implants include fixed bridges and dentures.

A very understanding and accommodating dental surgeonDAVID, South Africa, 27 07 20

To date, all my consultations for dental implants went well. I have had 3 extractions of which one was invasive dental surgery owing to a broken tooth that had to be removed. Other preparatory procedures have been done to my upper jaw. Dr Huson with over 30 yrs experience was my best choice. A very understanding and accommodating dental surgeon. I did after my first consult decides to look at alternatives but I was grateful to Christina who contacted me to assure me that Dr. Huson will look at the plan to see how best he can address my concerns and not long I was back to begin surgery. The dental clinic has wonderful people like Christina, Sarah and Marguerite to care and facilitate the proceedings for every visit. I am confident that when Dr Huson is finished that my goals would have been reached. Thank you dr, and staff at Silver Oaks Clinic.

He works very softly and gave me options to keep my painful tooth instead of just extracting itIngrid, South Africa, 03 08 20

I had one of the very best dental experiences in years and I am from Pretoria! I would like to bring each of my family members here to be treated by Dr Landsberg. He works very softly and gave me options to keep my painful tooth instead of just extracting it. And he gave me the advice to rather have my tooth extracted by a specialist should the infection not clear up since it is a tricky tooth! Really a dentist I could trust!
