Dentists Kerala

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A removable partial denture usually consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is connected by metal clasps or precision attachments that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Precision attachments are generally more esthetic than metal clasps and they are nearly invisible.

Implant supported overdentures are an alternate to conventional dentures whereby a full dentures is placed over the dental implants with metal bar/balls that gives better retention.

The modern way of replacing missing teeth are with Dental Implants.We use the Nobel Biocare implants from Sweden.We do the guided surgery where by the whole implant treatment is planned on the computer based on the patient CT images.Guided simplant surgery gives predictable precise results.The cost of the guided surgery will be additional.The actual costs of the CT imaging[2000 to 4000] and the cost of the surgical stent [19000 to 29000] is added .

The technique used is Straight Wire.The braces are either ceramic or metal.

With dental implants, healthy teeth are not compromised. Dental implants, like natural teeth, stimulate the jaw and stop bone loss. Leading dental organizations recognize dental implants as the standard of care for tooth replacement. Dental implants are lightweight, durable, bio-compatible and made from titanium. They bond with healthy bone and provide permanent support for dental crowns and dentures. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth and can last a lifetime. Our Specialist has been trained in Implant dentistry by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry - 300 credit hours Maxi Course and has undertaken a one week intensive training in Advanced Implantology. Placing a Dental Implant in ones jaw bone successfully requires :A) Exemplary hygiene and sterilization standards-. All measures are taken to replicate the sterile environment of a medical operation theatre (OT) of a hospital.B) Extensive treatment planning- Dental Implant placement involves planning not only the size and location of the dental implant but also the height, width and density of the bone. The proximity of adjacent vital structures like the Maxillary sinus, Nerves and Blood vessels, Adjacent tooth roots, Base of the mandible etc need to be carefully assessed. Dental Implant treatment planning involves study of Models of the teeth and jaws, Diagnostic mock set ups, Intra oral and extra oral calibrated X-rays and in many cases even CT scans of the skull.C) Undertaking complex adjunct procedures like the Indirect Sinus Lift, Direct Sinus Lift, Bone Graft procedures involving membrane placements, Block grafts, Ridge Augmentation, without which, in many instances the positioning of the Dental Implant and consequently the success, may have to be compromised.D) Use of State of the art materials and equipment, having an excellent track record over a long period of time. Presently this clinic uses the Biohorizon Dental Implant systems (USA).
