Dental Implants treatment without damaging neighbouring teeth
Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. As a trusted dental clinic in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, Kigo Dental is committed to providing safe and effective dental implant treatments that prioritize the health of your neighbouring teeth. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how dental implants can be placed without compromising surrounding teeth and the innovative practices we follow to ensure your oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
How Dental Implants Preserve Neighbouring Teeth Safely
One of the key advantages of dental implants is their ability to restore a missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that require grinding down neighbouring teeth for support, dental implants are independent structures. At Kigo Dental, we employ cutting-edge technology and meticulous planning to ensure a safe, precise implant placement.
Why Sometimes Dental Implants needed Grinding of Neighbouring Teeth in past and What are Latest Advancements to avoid that.
Dental Implants placement procedure requires adequate clearance of opposing teeth and adjacent teeth for it to be successful. In some of the following instances the clearance is not adequate as opposing tooth may have erupted in to that space or adjacent tooth may have drifted into that space, This mostly happens in cases where tooth or teeth were missing from long time.
In past, to regain that space grinding of neighbouring teeth was practised, which in turn required performing intentional root canal procedure for the teeth that were being grinded. This practice has become obsolete as it requires damaging perfectly health teeth by performing root canal procedure and grinding those perfectly healthy teeth.
But with the invention of mini screws (TADs) in orthodontics, now the teeth that have drifted or erupted in to the space of missing teeth can be pushed back to their original position and regain space without damaging them. This technique helps in preventing unnecessarily damaging perfectly healthy teeth that requires performing root canal procedure and grinding them in order to gain space.
Advanced Imaging Technology
We use advanced imaging tools like 3D CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans to create detailed views of your oral structures. This allows us to:
- Assess the density and quality of your jawbone.
- Map out the ideal mini screw (TADs) location, avoiding roots and nerves.
- Minimize any risk to neighbouring teeth.
Expertise in Implant Placement
Customized Treatment Plans
Every patient’s dental anatomy is unique. That’s why we create personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. This approach helps us:
- Avoid overloading adjacent teeth.
- Ensure optimal placement for long-term stability.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Dental Implants
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consider dental implants:
- Missing one or more teeth.
- Difficulty chewing or speaking.
- Bone loss in the jaw causing a sunken facial appearance.
- Shifting of remaining teeth, creating gaps or bite issues.
Avoiding Complications and Implant Failure
While dental implants have a high success rate, complications can arise without proper planning and care. At Kigo Dental, we take every precaution to ensure successful outcomes.
Common Causes of Implant Complications:
- Inadequate Bone Density: Insufficient jawbone can lead to implant instability.
- Improper Placement: Misaligned implants can damage nearby teeth or fail to integrate with the bone.
- Infection: Poor oral hygiene can result in peri-implantitis, an infection around the implant.
- Bruxism: Grinding or clenching teeth can put excessive pressure on implants.
Preventive Measures:
- Comprehensive pre-surgical evaluations.
- Use of bone grafts or sinus lifts when needed.
- Guidance on maintaining excellent oral hygiene.
- Post-treatment monitoring to ensure proper healing.
Safe Management of Dental Implant Issues
In rare cases where an implant causes or is at risk of causing damage to neighbouring teeth, it is crucial to address the issue promptly. At Kigo Dental, we offer advanced treatment options:
Diagnosis and Evaluation:
Using state-of-the-art imaging, we identify the root cause of the problem, whether it’s implant misalignment or insufficient bone support.
Retreatment Options:

FAQs About Dental Implants
- Do opposing and adjacent teeth need performing of root canal procedure and cap placement in order to undergo dental implant placement?
In past, when mini screws (TADs) were not available this was a standard protocol, but now with availability of mini screws there is no need for unnecessarily damaging perfectly natural teeth by performing of root canal procedure and cap placement.
- How can dental implants avoid harming neighbouring teeth?
Dental implants are placed independently, without relying on adjacent teeth for support. Advanced imaging, precise planning and mini screws (TADs) ensure they do not interfere with surrounding structures.
- What are the risks of dental implants?
While rare, risks include infection, nerve damage, or implant failure due to poor bone quality. Choosing an experienced dental professional minimizes these risks.
- How are failed implants treated safely?
Failed implants can be safely removed and replaced after addressing the underlying issue, such as bone loss or misalignment. Procedures like bone grafting may be necessary to restore support.
- Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most healthy adults are good candidates for dental implants. However, conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or severe bone loss may require additional treatments before implantation.
