Dental Implants In Lagos

A dental implant procedure for a single tooth may take about 1-2 hours. The entire implant process may take about 3-4 months to complete if bone grafting is not required. If bone grafting is necessary, the healing duration may extend up to 9 months.

In cases where the bone is inadequate to support an implant, our implantologist employs innovative techniques to expand the bony ridge and uses bone grafts to augment the deficient bone.

In the upper arch, a sinus lift procedure can be performed to place an implant where the bone is deficient. Digital Implant Surgery is an excellent tool to plan the guided placement and angulation of the implant in the area of maximum bone thickness.

There are no long-term restrictions with dental implants, although caution is needed until the bone is completely healed. After successful restoration, it is important to avoid biting hard substances initially.

Initially, a soft diet is recommended for the first two weeks. After that, you can gradually introduce harder foods. You will soon be able to enjoy all kinds of foods.

Dental implants require no special cleaning methods. It is extremely important to brush and floss twice a day, just like natural teeth, and visit your dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings.

At Luxe Dental Clinic, we provide a 10-year warranty (T&C Apply) with our dental implants treatment. With proper oral care, the lifespan of a dental implant is 25+ years.

• Permanent, Durable Solution: Dental implants are considered a permanent solution, secure, durable, and built to last a lifetime. They have a 98 percent success rate and are fused to the jawbone like a natural tooth. Dentures, on the other hand, are removable and can warp or break. They may need to be adjusted, repaired, or replaced within 6 to 7 years.
• Optimal Function and Performance: Both function like normal teeth, but dentures may slip or affect speech, which can be embarrassing. Implants offer better chewing and speaking ability.
• Better Hygiene: Dental implants can be brushed and flossed normally. Dentures require special cleaning, which is inconvenient and leaves more room for error. Implants are better for oral hygiene maintenance.
• Taste Sensation: Dentures cover the palate, compromising taste sensation. With dental implants, you can eat and chew anything you like without the embarrassments caused by dentures.

Modern dental implant treatment is a straightforward, minimally-invasive process that’s easier than having a tooth removed. With our in-house digital 3D planning process, implant treatment is streamlined for shorter placement times and quicker recovery. Most patients complete their treatment with local anesthetic and little or no over-the-counter pain medication. Sedation dentistry is also available.
