Dental Implants in Dr.Ezzy Dental Clinics
,, Why using Dental Implants in Dr.Ezzy clinics?
Despite good oral hygiene and daily brushing, many people around the world still lose teeth due to decay, gum disease, systemic illnesses, or accidents. In the past, the only options for replacing missing teeth were bridges and dentures. However, with advances in dentistry, dental implants are now available.
A dental implant replaces the root of a lost tooth, securely anchored in the jawbone to support a crown or bridge. This innovative solution provides stability, functionality, and a natural appearance that closely resembles a real tooth.
We offer the best dental implant brands with the greatest market share in the industry are also the most popular and well-known among dentists and surgeons alike. These brands include Straumann, Nobel BioCare, Dentsply, Schutz, Megagen , and Zimmer.
Individually, these companies have long histories of implant manufacturing, with many having more than 25 years of experience. Together, the best dental implant companies account for more than two-thirds of all implants sold in the U.S. in 2021.
Dental Implant Procedure …
The dental implant procedure consists of several stages that lead to a long-lasting solution:
1. Consultation and Planning: Thorough consultation and personalized planning to determine the best treatment approach.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
3. Healing Phase (Osseointegration): The implant gradually fuses with the bone over several months.
4. Crown or Bridge Placement: Once the implant is stable, a crown or bridge is attached, resembling a natural tooth in appearance and function.

3 steps to creating the perfect dental emergence profile
Achieving an ideal emergence profile involves precisely placing an implant in 3-dimensional space.
What are the key steps to optimize the emergence profile of an abutment?
1. Choose the correct materials
For a successful emergence profile, the implant diameter must match the emergence profile of the final restoration while also keeping in mind subgingival depth. The physical and chemical properties of implant materials regarding biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and fracture resistance have improved in recent years.
Implants are usually manufactured of titanium, titanium alloy or zirconium.
Commercially pure titanium usually contains trace elements of carbon, iron, nitrogen, and oxygen, which improves its mechanical qualities.
- Titanium alloy is titanium mixed with aluminum and vanadium and heat-treated to improve its strength.
- Zirconium is a good choice for patients who have metal allergies or sensitivities. Choosing zirconium eliminates the possibility of metal showing through the gums or becoming exposed. Zirconium implants are usually made as one piece, including the post and the abutment.
Currently, the most popular implant components are titanium or titanium alloy.
Soft-tissue development is critical to the long-term success of dental implant treatment, and custom-designed healing abutments play an important role in achieving a predictable and long-lasting restoration.
2. Contouring the emergence profile
The correct implant angulation and position are key to ensuring an implant-supported restoration is long-lasting, functional and esthetically pleasing.
Interproximal emergence
Beginning from the implant shoulder, with a straight emergence, towards a slight convexity just apical to the contact area, providing support for the interproximal tissue. The distance implants are placed from natural teeth (1.5mm) and another implant (3mm). Placing implants far enough apart allows for dental papilla to fill in properly avoiding black triangles.
3. Accurately placing a dental implant
The emergence profile directly influences how you place an implant.
Implants are manufactured with two types of connections: internal and external.
- External connection implants: The implant is connected to the abutment externally with an attachment screw. The implant stays outside the bone.
- Internal connection implants: The implant is designed to allow the abutment joining the implant and the prosthesis to be inserted a few millimeters inside the implant.
Why Dr.Ezzy Performs CBCT Scans?
Dr.Ezzy prefers to utilize CBCT scans, especially for those patients who need dental implants or other types of surgeries. CBCT scans allow your dentist to have better accuracy when performing your procedure. Because the dentist can better know where to go and how to approach the procedure, you can expect less downtime after the procedure.
With less downtime comes less pain and a more rapid recovery. CBCT scans also reduce the amount of risk of injury. Dentists are drilling and operating near nerves, blood vessels, and sinuses. Cone beam scans make it easier for your dentist to avoid those areas at all costs.
Another benefit to why dentists prefer cone beam CT scans is that they can reduce the amount of time you are under anesthesia. Because the images show the entire structure of your head, your dentist knows where to go, and they can complete the procedure a lot faster than usual.
You will also notice that your results last longer and appear more natural. That is thanks to 3D imaging technology. Cone beam scans allow your dentist to properly place your implants that align with the natural alignment of your jaw.
Long-Term Benefits and Care
Unlike bridges or removable dentures, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. They look and function like natural teeth, without the discomfort often associated with removable dentures.
Regular care is essential to ensure their longevity, including brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups. With consistent maintenance, dental implants can remain in excellent condition for many years,
