We are using the following dental implants and crowns routinely at Dr. Kathuria’s Dentistry.

Nobel Biocare provides a versatile range of implants, suited to every indication you could encounter and all designed to deliver Beautiful Teeth Now™.

These are some of their major innovations: ( TiUnite®)
Our uniquely effective implant surface provides optimal conditions for Soft Tissue Integration™ and osseointegration

 

GROOVY
Groovy, our completely new and unique groove system, takes all our implants to a higher level of effectiveness.

IMMEDIATE FUNCTION™

This concept makes it possible for patients to leave the dentist directly after implant placement with their new teeth in place – ready to eat, drink and smile.

KEY FEATURES

Exceptional initial stability and optimal restorative orientation.
With its unique tip and thread design, NobelActive slices through bone unlike conventional self-tapping implants. NobelActive condenses bone as it is inserted and, as a result, it offers exceptional primary stability and optimal restorative orientation.

IMPLANT DESIGN THAT ENHANCES OSSEOINTEGRATION.
NobelActive is coated with TiUnite, Nobel Biocare’s patented biomaterial. TiUnite is proven to accelerate osseointegration over machined surface implants.
NobelActive also features Groovy – macroscopic surface grooves along the implant thread. They operate in conjunction with the TiUnite surface to encourage the formation of bone on the implant.

HARD AND SOFT TISSUE PRESERVATION.

NobelActive’s back-tapered implant neck, featured on the regular platform implants, and platform shifting preserve soft tissue. At the same time, its apical blades preserve bone by slicing, and not cutting.

AN IDEAL IMPLANT FOR THE ESTHETIC ZONE.

NobelActive’s unique capability of redirection during insertion combined with its twin cutting blade design (that enables minimal osteotomy with minor trauma to bone and surrounding tissue) makes NobelActive ideal for situations with thin bone ridges, typically in the esthetic zone of the mouth.
NobelActive supports the comprehensive range of NobelProcera CAD/CAM dental prosthetics as well as Nobel Biocare’s full range of standard abutments. Made from the highest quality biocompatible materials with excellent homogeneity, they meet all patients’ esthetic needs.

THE NEW CONCEPT
The new concept represents a step forward in the development of protocols that are easier and more patient friendly. By combining a unique computerized planning program, a surgical guided template and the it is possible to surgically place implants in bone using a flapless technique and to insert fixed teeth during a single visit at the dental office.

Treatment solution
Sufficient amount of jaw bone exists

The quality & density of the jaw bone is adequate for immediate loading

Opening the mouth at least 50-55 mm is possible (important especially for lower jaws while teeth are present in the opposite jaw)

The medical health of the patient is not compromised

A unique planning and treatment solution
The TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™ protocol is a unique solution made possible by the ®System from Nobel Biocare, Sweden. A custom-made precision drill guide and a pre-fabricated prosthesis, based on CT images and virtual planning, can be made before surgery. All major decisions of the treatment are made during the software planning. The execution of the implant placement that follows is performed with minimal surgical intervention like flapless surgery.

COMPUTERIZED TECHNOLOGY

The rapid development of computerized tomography (CT) scan techniques has made it possible to fully visualize the placement of implants in a real 3D environment before they are even placed, for their accuracy in final treatment

 

HIGH PRECISION

The use of surgical templates to place implants has been shown to provide added value and surgical templates with high precision sleeves have optimized teeth rehabilitation since planning is both anatomically and final position of the teeth driven.

 

THE RESULT

It allows the possibility to provide patients fixed, well-functioning, and esthetic prostheses on implants. Its always recommended to be on the temporary prosthesis for the healing time of about 3-6 mos, followed by Procera Implant Prosthesis (PIB), which is a titanium-acrylic based fixed prosthesis. Thanks to the flapless technique, this treatment will be a totally fantastic experience for your patients with:

Greatly reduced healing time
No significant pain nor swelling

Very comfortable & quick procedure

Product Design

our research and development department combines between experienced doctors in the field of implantology and engineers with a variety of expertise (mechanic, metal strength and biological competence).

Implant Surface

after 5 years of experiments the company succeeded in developing the most advanced surface in the world today – Apically S.L.A (MACRO) 20-40+(MICRO)2U, the Top ACID ETCHED ( 5-10u).

Manufacturing & Packaging

Alpha Bio products and packaging meet the international standards. Alpha-Bio products meet the ISO 9001: 2000, and the EN 46001 and CE standards.

Dental Implants are accepted by dental professionals for over 40 years, as a successful and trusted method of tooth replacement used today.

Act like your natural tooth root. You do not feel the difference.

Are made of bio compatible materials. As a result, they are accepted by your body.

Your implant can actually last a lifetime with proper care and good oral hygiene

Are minimally invasive. Your adjacent healty teeth are untouched. Becuase unlike conventional bridges, there is no need to grind down adjacent natural teeth.

Maintain natural bone, and minimize further bone loss due bone stimulation – one of their most important advantages

Provide stability and comfort, with no adjustment necessary after placement.
EAT BETTER

Dentures can only deliver a small fraction of the biting force of natural teeth. With dental implants, patients can bite with forces close to that of natural teeth. Better chewing efficiency results in better digestion leading to improved health of patients
SPEAK BETTER

One fear, which denture wearers have, is that of their dentures coming out of their mouths when they speak. Implant supported prostheses are retained firmly to the jaw, allowing patients to speak with confidence.
Look Better

Implant supported crowns and bridges can be made to look very natural, with excellent aesthetics, which greatly enhances the patient’s smile.
FEEL BETTER

Implant supported dentures can be fabricated with reduced extensions, so that patients feel less bulk in their mouths while wearing their denture. With dental implants you won’t have your dentures slipping and sliding in your mouth again and you will enjoy excellent fitted dentures.

(NOBEL ACTIVE FROM NOBEL- BIOCARE SWEDEN)

NobelActive is a unique, next-generation bone-level dental implant. It offers dental professionals significant benefits.
It is suitable for all indications and offers exceptional primary stability – even in compromised bone situations. It is particularly suited for use in the esthetic zone. And thanks to its ability to redirect during insertion, it provides clinicians with maximum placement flexibility.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANT + CROWN ARE YOU A CANDIDATE ???
(ACCORDING TO APPLIED OSSEINTEGRATION RESEARCH-2004)
THESE ARE THE FEW CRITERIA TO BE ASSESSED BEFORE CONSIDERING THE IMPLANT + CROWN SIMULTANEOUSLY.

At least 4 Months of healed site.

Bone height sufficient for minimum 10mm Implants.

Use of Immediate loading types of Implants (like Nobel Active-Sweden).

Implant to crown ratio not exceeding 1:1.

Insertion torque of at least 35 newtons or higher.

Crowns to be cemented with Implant protected type of Occlusal scheme.

If you are missing one orteeth, then you may be a candidate for dental implants and natural teeth restoration.
Are you ignoring misssing teeth?

Check with your dentist, to prevent further oral health complications that could affect remaining healthy teeth.

Do you suffer form headaches or migraines?

Often missing teeth affect the positioning of your other healthy teeh, causing a misfit of the upper and lower jaw, causing stiffness in the muscle and joints. Often, restoring missing teeth provides relief of these symptoms.

Hase your facial slihouette changed?

Missing teeth can cause a loss in bone density, because the bone is not longer stimulated when chewing. The jaw line changes and shrinks, making you look older than you really are.

Do you wear dentures?

If so, you may experience problems with an insecure fit , or embarrassing situation and pain. Implants are a good option because they act like your own natural tooth roots. They can support dental crowns that look and feel like real teath.

Unhappy how your teeth looks?

Some teeth may be discolored due to medications takes as a child. Or your teeth may not be perfectly aligned, affecting your smile or facial profile. Ask your dentist for options available for a beautiful smile, using all-ceramic prosthetic solutions.

Missing a single tooth can, over time, allow the misalignment of your remaining teeth and thus erode your current smile. A single tooth replaced with a dental implant and crown is the most predictable, conservative and long-lasting method of tooth replacement. Without a dental implant, the two adjacent teeth to a missing tooth must be filed down to anchor a bridge. Dental implants eliminate the need to modify natural teeth.

Missing multiple teeth can be a serious problem as the support structure of your jaw begins to deteriorate. Implants stop that deterioration.. Dental implants are designed to serve as a foundation for replacement crowns or bridges that “give you your teeth back.” They look, feel, and function like natural teeth. In conjugation with dental implants, we can take support of some natural teeth to restore multiple missing teeth. although the ideal protocol is ONE TOOTH PER IMPLANT.

The first step is a comprehensive examination of existing teeth, bone and gums. This allows for an accurate diagnosis and discovery of the potential solutions to your condition.

During the first visit, Dr. Kathuria will perform a visual examination and evaluate radiographs (X-Rays). He will then share his findings with you, recommend treatment solutions, and help you determine the most appropriate treatment for you.

We invite our patients to have a family member or friend participate in our discussions, which most patients find very beneficial. In addition, any financial matters will be discussed in detail and in a confidential setting before any treatment is started.

The surgical placement of dental implants causes only minor discomfort similar to having a tooth removed. Post-operative discomfort is controlled with the use of prescriptions. Depending on the extent of the therapy, many persons return to work the day of their surgery. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated.

Implants as a solution to missing teeth has been practiced for a few decades. Generally, because of advances in implant dentistry over the years, dental implants can have success rates above 90% in natural bone. Having said that, success rates depend on many factors, for example, the patient’s own health status or whether he/she is a smoker. Although at the present time we cannot put a figure down as to the longevity of implants, it is known that the first patient who had implants placed in 1965 still has them in function today. Of course, regular checkups and diligently maintaining one’s oral hygiene is also of utmost importance in preventing failure.

Modern dental implant treatment is highly successful, as a general guideline, the five-year success rate of dental implant is over 95% with the lower jaw (mandible) and about 90% with upper jaw (maxilla). The success rates may slowly decrease, as the implant stays longer in function. In difficult cases, the success rates are expected to be lower. Despite the overall high success rates with dental implant treatment, there is still the possibility of failure, which can be contributed by various factors and conditions, such as poor healing power, poor bone quality, smoking and diabetes. & most important of all-Poor oral Hygiene.

Whereas no medical treatment can be guaranteed 100 percent without risks and failures, implant operation can be considered very safe. The prosthetic phase of treatment is basically non-invasive and non –invasive and non-surgical in nature.

Normally it’s a matter of 3 sittings.

• 1st sitting or initial assessment, radiographic records, medical history & clinical examination.
• 2nd sitting for the implant placement.
• 3rd sitting to place temporary crowns for a period of 4-6 mos to be subsequently changed to ceramic crowns/bridges.
