Yes, you can undergo dental implant surgery even if you suffer from bone loss or jawbone atrophy! However, in such cases, the procedure may require additional steps to increase bone density and ensure implant stability. The appropriate method will be determined after examination based on your specific condition. Here are the most common procedures used to compensate for bone deficiency:
Bone Grafting:
• Synthetic or natural bone is added to the weakened jaw area to enhance bone density.
• The integration period typically takes 3 to 6 months before implants can be placed. In some cases, the implant can be placed during the same session, depending on your condition.
Sinus Lift:
• Performed in the upper jaw when bone density is insufficient.
• The sinus is lifted, and bone material is added to improve stability.
Advanced Implant Techniques:
• Zygomatic Implants: Used when the upper jawbone is severely deficient. These implants are anchored in the cheekbone instead of the jaw.
• Short or Narrow Implants: Used in cases with limited bone height or width.
Immediate Implant Placement:
• In some cases, immediate implants can be used if there is sufficient bone density in a specific area, even if overall bone quality is poor.
Press-Fit Implants:
These implants rely on pressure to secure them within the bone, making them a good option when bone volume is insufficient. This technique helps stabilize the implant without requiring additional procedures.
Osteotomy (Bone Splitting):
This surgical procedure is used when the jaw has sufficient height but inadequate width to support an implant.
The bone is split and reshaped to allow placement of the implant in the center, enabling the bone to heal firmly around it.
This is a helpful solution in cases of severe width atrophy and provides the implant with necessary stability.
Yes, dental implants can be performed under general anesthesia,
as long as there are no medical contraindications such as an HbA1c level above 7,……………….Etc.
In cases of complete tooth loss in the jaw, a full arch can be supported with 4 implants, and in some cases 6 implants, or even 8 implants.
The exact number and method are determined based on your individual condition after clinical evaluation.
The idea of a lifetime guarantee is a common misconception.
If the patient does not develop conditions that affect the implant—such as diabetes or trauma—and takes proper care of the implant, it can last its natural lifespan, which can be 20 to 25 years.
There are two methods:
Cement-retained:
Similar to a natural tooth, the crown is cemented onto the implant using dental adhesive.
Screw-retained:
The crown is attached to the implant using a screw. This is considered the better and more reliable method.
Yes, you can undergo dental implant placement and orthodontic treatment at the same time! However, this depends on the reasons for needing braces and the specific issue being addressed. The position of the implant and your overall health also play a major role in determining whether combining implants and orthodontics is possible.
There is also a special type of implant called "orthodontic mini-implants" or "temporary anchorage devices (TADs)," which are strong implants used specifically in orthodontics to help move and align teeth more effectively.
Each case is unique.
Dental implant failure can be categorized into two main types:
Short-term failure (within the first 6 weeks):
In this case, symptoms may appear within the first few weeks after the implant is placed. Common signs of early failure include swelling, abscess formation around the implant, or even the implant becoming loose or falling out. If any of these symptoms occur, you should visit your dentist immediately for evaluation.
Long-term failure (from 1 to 5 years):
This type of failure typically appears after a longer period following the implant placement. It is often caused by improper bite alignment or incorrect implant positioning, which can lead to excessive stress on the implant or poor bone integration around it.

The process begins with a 3D imaging scan,
followed by precise planning of the implant position.
The implant is then placed into the bone,
and a healing period of 3 to 6 months is typically required for the bone to integrate.
After that, the final crown is placed.
No,
the procedure is performed under local anesthesia,
and modern techniques have significantly reduced pain and swelling.
Most patients are surprised by how easy and comfortable the process is.
There are two concepts of immediate implants:
The first: This involves extracting the tooth and placing the implant in the same session. This works very well, provided that the bone is strong and free from infection.
The second: This involves both implant placement and crown installation in the same session. This is determined based on your condition after examination.
Traditional implants involve placing the implant and waiting for the bone to integrate with the implant before placing the permanent crown.
In both cases, the patient receives temporary cosmetic teeth in the case of front teeth implants.
The implant placement session itself takes between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of implants.
However, the overall treatment duration ranges from 2 months to 6 months, depending on the case.
Yes,
provided that blood sugar levels are well controlled.
A thorough evaluation is done before the procedure to ensure the highest success rate,
and the HbA1c level should not exceed 7.
The cost varies depending on the type of implant and the number of teeth,
but our prices are very competitive considering the quality,
especially for patients from outside Egypt.
You can contact us for an initial estimate based on your condition.
In some cases, yes,
provided that the bone is strong and free from infection.
This is determined through an X-ray examination.
The global success rate exceeds 95%,
and with the patient following instructions and maintaining good oral hygiene, the implant can last for more than 20 years.
With proper care, dental implants can last for decades.
Some patients retain their implants for more than 25 years.
