What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of materials like titanium or ceramic zirconia, designed to fuse with your jawbone. This integration process, called osseointegration, ensures that the implant is secure and functions like a natural tooth root. Once the implant is in place, it can support crowns, bridges, or even full dentures. At our clinic in Petaling Jaya, we use advanced diagnostic tools, such as CBCT scans (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), to plan the placement of implants with precision. This not only ensures optimal results but also minimises any potential risks associated with the procedure

Preservation of Bone Health and Prevent Facial Sagging: Implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer in Petaling Jaya

Single Tooth Implants

If you are missing a single tooth, a single dental implant can restore both function and appearance. The implant is placed into the jawbone, followed by a custom-made crown that matches your surrounding teeth

Multiple Tooth Implants

For patients with multiple missing teeth, multiple implants can be used to support bridges or partial dentures. This method avoids the need for traditional dentures that may be uncomfortable or unstable

All-on-4 Dental Implants

The All-on-4 system is ideal if you have lost most or all of your teeth. Using just four implants, we can support an entire arch of teeth, reducing both surgery time and cost. This technique is perfect for patients who want a faster, less invasive option

Bone Grafting for Implants

Sometimes, patients may not have enough bone density to support implants. In such cases, a bone graft is necessary to build up the jawbone. Dr. Veron Koh is skilled in performing bone grafting procedures, ensuring that patients can proceed with their implant treatment safely

Potential Side Effects of Dental Implants

While dental implants have a 95% success rate, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects:

Gum inflammation or infection: Proper oral hygiene is essential to prevent this.
Bone loss: Rare but possible if the implant does not integrate well with the bone.
Nerve damage: Uncommon, especially with advanced imaging tools like CBCT scans that we use at V Dental Clinic.

At our clinic in SS2, we take every precaution to ensure a smooth and safe procedure. Dr. Veron Koh’s extensive experience reduces the risk of complications, giving you peace of mind

The Dental Implant Process

First Visit

Consultation

During your first consultation, the dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if you're a candidate for dental implants. A customised treatment plan is developed based on your specific needs and goals such as the need of bone grafting.

Second Visit

Implant Placement

The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. After placing the implant, you will have to rest up a few months’ time before proceeding to the next stage. In some cases, temporary restorations may be placed while the implants heal. Over the period, the implants fuse with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong and stable foundation.

Third Visit

Healing Abutment Placement

Once the implant has integrated with the bone, the dentist perform a minor surgical procedure to place an abutment on the implant which the crown will be attached to it. Local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort during the procedure.

Fourth Visit

Taking Impression

After the healing period, the dentist will take impressions to fabricate the permanent replacement teeth (crowns, bridges, or dentures) to be attached to the implants, completing your smile restoration.

Fifth Visit

Replacement Teeth Placement

Once the customised crowns/ bridges, or dentures are ready, they are attached to the implants, completing your smile restoration. They are designed to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth as well as the overall aesthetic of your preference.
