Dental Implants
Missing teeth can significantly impact your confidence, oral health, and overall well-being. Dental implants offer a long lasting and natural-looking solution for tooth loss caused by injury, decay, or age-related factors. Genesis Dentists utilizes the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure a seamless, comfortable experience, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants serve as a permanent replacement for missing teeth, securely anchored into the jawbone to provide exceptional stability and durability. With a high success rate, they offer both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Average Life Expectancy of Dental Implants
While dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution, their lifespan can vary based on several factors. Here’s a general overview:
| Category | Statistic/Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Success Rate | 95% to 98% | General success rate, can be higher with advanced technology. |
| Failure Rate | 3.1% (Worldwide), 6% (US) | Highlights the importance of precision in placement. |
| Longevity | 97% at 10 years, 75% at 20 years | Indicates long-term reliability. |
| Market Growth (US) | CAGR of 6.4% | Expected annual growth rate. |
| Types of Implants | Endosteal | Most common type; placed in the bone. |
| Subperiosteal | Placed under the gum but on or above the jawbone. | |

| Zirconia | Metal-free alternative, suitable for patients with metal sensitivities. |
Advanced Computer-Guided Technology for Precision & Success
Genesis Dentists employs state-of-the-art computer-guided implant technology to enhance precision and predictability in implant placement. This process begins with a 3D cone-beam scan, allowing for a virtual simulation of the procedure before the actual surgery. From this data, a customized surgical guide is created to ensure accurate and minimally invasive placement of the implants. This advanced technique is particularly beneficial in cases where precision is critical, such as when bone structure is limited or when traditional free-hand placement may pose challenges. By utilizing computer-guided technology, patient safety is enhanced, recovery time is reduced, and overall implant success is improved.
Types of Dental Implants
-
- Single Dental Implants: Ideal for replacing a missing tooth while preserving adjacent healthy teeth. A biocompatible titanium post is inserted into the jawbone, serving as an artificial root. Once healed, a custom-designed crown is placed on top, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth.
-
- Full Arch Implants (All-on-Implants™): For patients experiencing extensive tooth loss or severe dental deterioration, the All-on-Implants™ system provides a permanent alternative to traditional dentures. This innovative approach anchors a full arch of prosthetic teeth onto four to six strategically placed implants, offering superior stability, comfort, and aesthetics.
-
- Multiple Dental Implants: For patients missing several teeth, multiple dental implants provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution. These implants function similarly to single implants but require multiple posts to support the replacement teeth, ensuring durability and a natural feel.
Types of Implant Materials
As a recognized provider of Straumann’s NeoArch Centre of Excellence in the Asia-Pacific region, Genesis Dentists offers both Zirconia and Titanium implants, each with unique benefits tailored to individual patient needs.
Zirconia Implants
Zirconia implants are made from high-quality ceramic, providing a metal-free alternative ideal for patients with allergies or sensitivities. Their natural white color eliminates any risk of metal visibility under the gum line, offering an aesthetically superior result.
Benefits of Zirconia Implants:
-
- Hypoallergenic and metal-free
-
- Highly durable and resistant to corrosion
-
- Reduces plaque accumulation, promoting better oral health
Titanium Implants
Titanium implants have been the gold standard in implant dentistry for decades due to their exceptional strength and ability to integrate seamlessly with the jawbone.
Benefits of Titanium Implants:
-
- Superior durability and resistance to fractures
-
- Biocompatible, ensuring long-term stability
-
- Proven track record of success in implant dentistry
Key Benefits of Dental Implants
-
- Unmatched Stability & Durability: Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing exceptional stability. This ensures your prosthetic teeth remain firmly in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
-
- Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment: While the initial cost of dental implants may be higher than traditional solutions, their long-lasting durability eliminates the need for frequent replacements or repairs. Properly maintained implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
-
- Enhanced Aesthetics & Functionality: Designed to mimic natural teeth, dental implants blend seamlessly with your existing smile. The customized shade-matching process ensures your new teeth complement your natural ones, restoring both function and confidence.
