Tariq Drabu is a leading dentist and specialist oral surgeon who wasborn and educated in Manchester in the United Kingdom. He is nowthe owner of the successful Langley Dental Practice in Middletonwhere he sees private and NHS patients on a daily basis.

One of the services that Tariq Drabu provides under private dentistry isdental implants. Dental implants are growing in popularity and havequickly become favoured over dentures with the majority of thepublic on a global scale.

Dental implants are fitted into the jaw rather than being removable, theybecome a static false tooth which looks and feels completely natural at alltimes. The implant is used to replace one or more missing teeth and is oftenchosen when a front tooth needs to be pulled or is severely damaged in anaccident.

Unlike dentures, the dental implant does not need time to get used to it. Thereis some sensitivity after the procedure, which is completely normal and canbe managed effectively with paracetamol. Once the minimal pain subsides,the tooth will look and feel completely natural, so you can eat and drinkwhatever you like with complete confidence.

Further, you will find that the procedure is relativelyeasy and is carried out in the dentist chair. Itinvolves placing a titanium screw directly into thejaw bone topped with the false tooth, known asthe cap. The cap is made based on yourparticular oral mould and matched to colour yourother teeth so it doesn't look out of place.

Tariq Drabu did mention that dental implants are not for everyone and those who

have bone degeneration diseases or even diabetes, may not be able to have this

procedure. He also advised that it is important to bear in mind that once a tooth is

pulled, the jaw bone starts to deteriorate, so the sooner the implant is placed the

better. The bone will then fuse with the screw so it won't deteriorate over time.

Finally, Tariq Drabu advised that patients who have had the dental implant find that

they have a boost of confidence and they find the tooth strong and reliable.fight off the risk of infection.
