Implants
 There have been tremendous technological advances in dental implants in the past three decades and they are more frequently becoming the treatment of choice for permanently replacing missing teeth. Our expertise at Sahara Dental Center enables us to offer a range of solutions to those who have missing teeth and who are in good health and want to enhance their looks and eating enjoyment.
Dental implants have many advantages compared to traditional crown and bridge solutions.
Six reasons why you should consider implants instead of other solutions:
- They look, feel and function like your natural teeth
- Healthy teeth do not need to be ground down to support the dental implants
- Anchoring dental implants in the jawbone stimulates bone tissue and gums, ensuring an attractive, esthetic result while helping to maintain facial structures
- Dental implants do not require any adhesives to hold the new teeth in place
- They eliminate the discomfort and insecurity of loose, ill-fitting dentures
- You have a secure, permanent tooth replacement

Astra Tech Implant System™ works together with nature in supporting the natural healing process instead of interfering with it. Healthy gums and maintained bone levels are crucial for a long lasting esthetic tooth replacement. Under the right conditions, nature itself does the major part of the job.
The Astra Tech Implant System™ is designed to provide nature with the right conditions; all of the system's parts work together. It is function, beauty and biology in perfect harmony – we call it the Astra Tech BioManagement Complex™.

A dental implant is the optimal solution if one or more teeth are missing. The Astra Tech Implant System™ can be tailored to different needs so that virtually anybody can have a tooth replacement that looks and functions like natural teeth. Fully developed bone tissue, however, is an important prerequisite. This is why dental implants are normally not installed in people under the age of 18.
When you are ready for a dental implant, you will have a solution tailored to your needs, general state of health and the quantity and quality of your bone tissue. These factors also determine the total duration of the treatment.
Consult your dental professional for advice on your dental implant options. |

Dental implants are nothing new. They have been used to permanently replace teeth since the mid 60s.
The Astra Tech Implant System™ has been on the market over 20 years. Based on years of extensive research, we have developed a unique dental implant system that provides a secure anchor for new, natural-looking teeth.
Fixture
A small titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. Titanium is a metal accepted by the body and heals together with the bone tissue to form a new, stable tooth root.
Fixture and abutment
An abutment is a ceramic or titanium component that ensures a secure fit between the dental implant and the crown.
Fixture, abutment and crown
Once the dental implant and the abutment are in place, your dental professional fits the crown, the bridge or the prosthesis.
