The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
Losing a tooth can be a traumatic experience that goes beyond the visible gap in your smile. It affects how you chew, how you speak, and ultimately, how you feel about yourself. For decades, bridges and dentures were the only options for replacing missing teeth. While effective, they often come with compromises, such as the need to grind down healthy adjacent teeth or dealing with the instability of removable appliances.
Today, modern dentistry offers a superior solution: Dental Implants.
At Ivory Dental Clinics, we consider dental implants the gold standard in restorative dentistry. They are the only tooth replacement option that mimics the entire structure of a natural tooth—from the root up to the crown. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Asem Al-Hawwal, we utilize cutting-edge surgical protocols and premium materials to provide a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores 100% of your dental function.
Understanding Dental Implants: Anatomy of a Revolution
To understand why implants are so effective, it helps to understand their design. A dental implant is not just a fake tooth; it is a sophisticated system composed of three precision-engineered parts:
The Implant Fixture
This is a small, screw-like post made of medical-grade titanium or zirconia. It is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as an artificial root. Titanium is used because it is “biocompatible,” meaning the body does not reject it. Instead, the bone fuses to it in a process called osseointegration.
The Abutment
Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a connector piece called an abutment is attached to the top of the fixture. This piece acts as the anchor for the visible tooth.
The Prosthesis (Crown)
This is the final touch—the visible part of the tooth. It can be a single ceramic crown, a bridge, or a full denture. At Ivory Dental Clinics, we custom-design this crown to match the shade, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth perfectly.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Implants offer distinct advantages that other replacement methods simply cannot match.
Preservation of Bone Health
This is the most critical medical benefit. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in that area stops receiving stimulation from chewing pressure. Over time, the body begins to reabsorb this bone, leading to a shrunken jawline and a prematurely aged facial appearance. Implants simulate the natural tooth root, stimulating the bone and preventing this deterioration.
Unmatched Stability
Unlike dentures, which can slip or click when you speak or eat, dental implants are anchored securely in your jaw. You can eat apples, steak, and nuts with the same force and confidence as you would with natural teeth.
Protection of Healthy Teeth
Traditional dental bridges require the dentist to file down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge. Implants are self-supporting, meaning your surrounding healthy teeth remain untouched and intact.
Longevity
With proper care and oral hygiene, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. While a bridge may need replacing every 10-15 years, a fully integrated implant is a permanent part of your anatomy.
The Implant Journey at Ivory Dental Clinics
We understand that the idea of oral surgery can be daunting. However, at Ivory Dental Clinics, we have streamlined the process to ensure it is precise, predictable, and comfortable.
Phase 1: Comprehensive Diagnosis and 3D Planning
Dr. Asem Al-Hawwal begins with a thorough evaluation. We use advanced CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans to create a 3D map of your jaw. This allows us to assess bone density and nerve positions, ensuring the implant is placed with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Phase 2: Surgical Placement
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a sterile environment. Most patients report that the procedure is far less painful than a tooth extraction. Dr. Asem places the titanium post into the bone with precision. In some cases, if the bone volume is insufficient, a bone graft may be performed during this stage to ensure a solid foundation.
Phase 3: Healing and Osseointegration
This is the magic phase. Over the next 3 to 6 months, your jawbone grows around the implant, locking it in place. During this time, you may wear a temporary tooth so you never have to walk around with a gap in your smile.
Phase 4: Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, you return to the clinic for the final step. We take digital impressions of the healed site and craft your permanent custom crown. Once attached, your new tooth is ready for the world.
The Ivory Advantage: Technology Meets Expertise
Dental implantology is a complex discipline that requires a deep understanding of both surgery and aesthetics. Dr. Asem Al-Hawwal, with his specialized background in advanced dental care and membership in the A.D.A and L.T.C, ensures that every case is treated with the highest international standards.
