  Dental Implants  
     
  Dental Implants are man made replacements for natural teeth. The implants themselves are designed to be similar to the tooth roots. They are anchored in the jaw bone and replacement teeth are permanently secured upon them. 2 Types of Implants are used:
1. Mini-Implant
Mini-implant system consists of miniature titanium Implant that acts like the root of the tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the crown and bridges or can be used in the base of a denture.

  Dental implants are widely used in prosthetic dentistry wherein artificial replacements are provided for natural teeth. The design of the implants is similar to the tooth root in order to properly affix itself providing patients more stable and better-looking teeth. The idea is to fasten the tooth roots into the jaw bone and then fasten the replacement teeth. There different types of dental implants. One is the conventional type which is very stable and stays under the gums for a longer period of time which is around 3 to 6 months. Another type is mini-implant which is relatively small and made of titanium. It holds crowns and bridges well as well as denture bases. These types of oral implantology directly connect the bone and the implant making sure that each tooth is held firmly in place.  
 
  Dental implant treatment is commonly done by an implant dentist who will apply local anesthesia before everything takes place. The procedure is not painful at all and any possible reactions after can be tolerable with the right medications. The whole surgery usually lasts for one hour or more depending on the number of implants done. The treatment is done in the outpatient department and patients can immediately leave the clinic after to recover for a few days. Patients may immediately notice results such as improved speech and appetite, higher self-esteem and great looking teeth..  
     
  In dental tourism, dental implants are one of the most common procedures done to visiting foreign patients. These patients are usually referred to the Philippine dental clinic and then provided information regarding the best dentists and technologies available for the procedure. The SM Mall of Asia dentist or the St. Luke's Medical Center dentist is highly trained to ensure that patients receive the best treatment with precise procedures correlating to the specific dental implant they are planning to have. These dentists will require dental checkup before any implantation is done plus a full assessment to determine the exact sensations, nerve regions and teeth structure. The tooth roots that will be made will specifically be based on this information.  
     
  Investing in a dental package tour will provide you with all the comforts and health options you need to get the most satisfying and safest dental implant procedure. You will be given information regarding your accommodations, means of travel, list of dentists and staff, procedures to be done, technologies used as well as medications needed for quick recovery. On top of it all, you also have the chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of Manila or other neighboring regions in the Philippines. You get affordable and quality dental implantologies with the luxury of a five-star vacation.
