Are you looking to get dental implants in Goa? Do you want the best dental services for missing teeth that look, function, and feel just like natural teeth?
Having missing teeth can cause you several oral and general health issues besides being aesthetically displeasing. Having a missing tooth/teeth can weaken your jawbone and the other neighboring teeth, causing them to shift out of alignment. Besides this, some people also have to deal with speech and chewing issues.
Smile Craft Clinic is here to provide you with premium services for dental implants in Panjim with experienced implant dentists. We ensure our clinic is equipped with modern technology and follow strict sterilization protocols for your safety.
Below we have broken down our step-by-step process and what you should expect for getting dental implants in Goa at Smile Craft.
Step 1: Checking if implants are the right solution for you
People who are missing teeth are usually qualified to get dental implants. Maybe you already have partial dentures or bridgework done, but want the stability and natural look of the implants instead.
Having good oral health habits and no extreme health issues are preferable candidates for such procedures.
Our team of qualified dental experts at Smie Craft Clinic will first examine your jaw in extreme detail to see if it’s the right solution for you. We have a look at your prior medical conditions, bone density, x-rays of your jaw, etc.
General individuals who are qualified include:
Proper Bone Density: Bone density around the implant site is examined by X-rays. If found insufficient, you may be recommended procedures such as bone grafting, as adequate bone density is necessary to support the tooth implant.
Healthy Gums: People without a high likelihood of gum infections and gum diseases, like Periodontitis are preferred. It’s also preferred to first wait and treat any ongoing gum infection that you’re dealing with, to prevent your infections from getting worse and harming the adjacent teeth.
Non-smokers or those willing to take a break: Smoking slows down your healing and greatly increases the chances of infection during the healing process. Even vaping and drinking cause similar effects.
Chronic Health Conditions: People with health conditions such as Diabetes, Heart conditions, Osteoporosis, etc, may not be ideal due to compromised immunity. Depending on the severity of their conditions and the types of medication they are currently on, their healing might be much slower.
Discipled commitment to oral care: Candidates who are disciplined and committed to diligent oral care are generally preferred, as you could risk rejection of your implant by being negligent during the healing period.
Realistic Expectations: Understanding the pros and cons of your unique circumstances is important. Each patient’s case has its unique pros and cons for implants and ultimately you and your dentist need to make this decision after thorough consideration.
In the end, money is also an important factor to consider, as the cost of the total treatment would differ greatly from patient to patient. For some, it may be more financially practical if they just want an individual implant but would find it impractical to cover the cost of getting the entire mouth done. The cost of getting dental implants in Goa usually ranges between 25000-40000 rupees, excluding the cost of other procedures like bone grafting (if required). Depending on your unique financial circumstances, we at Smile Craft could also recommend a flexible payment plan, or other practical options, like dental bridges.
Step 2: Make your Treatment plan
After analyzing the details of your case, we will start mapping out a unique treatment plan and discuss it with you. We will plan out the treatment steps, duration, and payment plans.
We will go through your different implant options. Here at Smile Craft, we offer different globally recognized options for dental implants in Panjim such as Starumann, Osstem, and Nobel Biocare.
Our dental experts will even plan out your oral care routine that you should diligently follow during the healing process.
We shall give you a rough duration of the entire treatment, in case you’re planning to travel here to get dental implants in Goa for medical tourism, so that you can plan your stay accordingly.
Step 3: Dental Implant Procedure:
From here we start with the actual surgical implantation process:
- Dental Implant Placement: First we place the implant ‘post’ into your jaw by minimally invasive methods by giving a few incisions on your gums. The implant ‘post’ is a sturdy metal screw, that will fuse with your jawbone and lay the foundation for your new tooth. The surgery itself is safe and performed under anesthesia, therefore you wouldn’t feel pain during it.
- Healing: Slight discomfort is normally observed while the implant ‘post’ initially heals and fuses with your jaw and gums, for which we will prescribe you pain relief medication. The fusing and healing process would differ from person to person. For some taking a couple of months, to others maybe even a year, depending on various factors like age, health conditions, and how well you’re taking care of it. During this period your dentist will give you a temporary covering to protect the implant, provide functionality and maintain aesthetics.
- Crown Placement: Once your implant has healed your dentist will place the ‘abutment’, which is the middle piece connecting your implant ‘post’ to the final custom-made crown or bridges that will cover it. The dentist will make sure to match the artificial tooth crown with your natural tooth shape and color, leaving you with the final result of a perfect smile!
Step 4: Adequate Aftercare
Following proper oral care routines and proper post-op care is the final step to ensuring you have your perfect forever smile. We at Smile Craft provide you with the appropriate post-op care which includes: regular checkup-ups, professional cleanings, and advice on how to maintain optimum oral health for your new tooth.
