Conventional
Dental Implants
in Islamabad.
The world's most researched tooth replacement — a titanium implant placed directly into the jawbone, left to bond with the bone over 3–6 months, then crowned with a CEREC same-day ceramic crown. The gold standard. The longest track record. The most predictable outcome.
The most proven
tooth replacement ever developed.
A conventional dental implant is a titanium screw — typically 3.5 to 6mm wide and 8 to 16mm long — surgically placed into the alveolar bone of the jaw where a tooth root once sat. Over 3 to 6 months, the surrounding bone grows into and around the titanium surface through a process called osseointegration, creating a bond so strong it matches the strength of a natural tooth root.
Once osseointegration is confirmed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a CEREC ceramic crown — milled in-clinic at Hassaan Dental in under 20 minutes — is fitted in a single appointment. The result: a permanent, natural-looking tooth that functions, feels, and cleans exactly like the real thing.
With over 30 years of clinical evidence and a 10-year survival rate of 96.4% across 18 prospective studies, conventional implants are the most studied, most validated tooth replacement in dentistry. At Hassaan Dental Clinic, every implant is planned with a CBCT 3D scan for sub-millimetre surgical accuracy.
The implant root stimulates bone — preventing the bone loss that occurs after tooth extraction and the characteristic "sunken" appearance of long-term tooth absence.
No special cleaning routines. Brush twice daily, floss normally. No risk of decay — only the gum around it needs monitoring.
Once fully integrated, a conventional implant restores 100% of chewing function — unlike bridges or dentures, which reduce biting efficiency by 25–50%.
The titanium fixture is designed as a permanent replacement. With proper care, implants placed today can still be functioning in 20–30 years. The crown may need replacing every 10–15 years.
Unlike a dental bridge — which requires grinding down two healthy neighbouring teeth — an implant stands alone, completely independent of the teeth beside it.
What happens inside your jaw
after a conventional implant?
Osseointegration — the biological bonding of titanium to living bone — is why conventional implants are permanent. Here's what happens across the 3–6 month healing period.
Immediately after placement, blood fills the space around the implant. A clot forms, creating the biological scaffold for bone regeneration to begin.
Osteoblast cells begin depositing new bone directly onto the titanium surface. The implant gains initial biological stability alongside mechanical stability from placement.
The woven bone is replaced by stronger, organised lamellar bone — the same dense bone structure as natural cortical bone. The implant becomes progressively more stable.
The titanium implant is now fully bonded to the jaw — indistinguishable in stability from a natural tooth root. The abutment is fitted and the CEREC crown is placed.
The single biggest predictor of implant success is accurate placement. A CBCT scan maps the exact bone depth, width, nerve locations, and sinus proximity — so Dr. Haris knows, to the millimetre, where each implant should go before the procedure begins. At Hassaan Dental Clinic, no conventional implant is placed without CBCT-guided planning. This is not optional — it is the standard.
Are you a good candidate
for conventional implants?
Most adults in good general health with sufficient jawbone are excellent candidates. Here's what helps — and what needs consideration.
Not sure if you're a candidate? Don't self-diagnose — many patients told by other clinics that they "don't have enough bone" are still excellent candidates for conventional implants, basal implants, or a hybrid approach. A CBCT 3D scan (PKR 1,000) at Hassaan Dental is the only accurate way to assess suitability. You can also send your X-rays via WhatsApp for a free remote pre-assessment.
What happens at
every stage.
A conventional implant is a multi-step process — but at Hassaan Dental, every stage is digitally planned and explained to you before anything begins.
Dr. Haris conducts a full examination and CBCT 3D scan — mapping bone depth, width, nerve locations, and sinus anatomy in 3D. Your complete digital treatment plan is prepared and explained, including the number of implants, their positions, timeline, and transparent cost breakdown. Nothing is booked until you are satisfied and ready.
If the tooth is still present, it is extracted and the socket allowed to heal (typically 6–8 weeks). If gum disease is present, it is treated first. If bone volume is marginal, Dr. Haris will advise whether a bone graft is needed or whether a basal/hybrid approach would avoid this step entirely.
Under local anaesthesia, Dr. Haris makes a small incision in the gum, prepares the bone site with sequential drill passes (guided by the CBCT plan), and places the titanium implant to a controlled insertion torque of 30–45 Ncm. Primary stability is assessed, a healing cap is placed, and the gum is closed. Most patients report only mild discomfort for 1–3 days post-operatively.
The implant is left to integrate with the bone. Over 3–6 months, osseointegration occurs — bone grows directly into the titanium surface, locking it in place permanently. No clinic visits are required during this period. You continue normal daily activities, eating, and brushing. A WhatsApp check-in is offered at the 6-week mark.
Once osseointegration is confirmed, the healing cap is removed and the abutment (the connector between the implant and crown) is fitted. An intraoral digital scan replaces the traditional messy impression tray — generating a precise 3D digital model of the implant site in seconds, which feeds directly into the CEREC system.
Using the digital scan, Dr. Haris designs your crown on screen — matching the shade, shape, and size of your adjacent teeth. The CEREC Primemill mills the ceramic crown in under 20 minutes. It is then polished, adjusted for bite, and bonded permanently to the abutment in the same appointment. You leave with your complete implant — no second visit, no temporary crown.
How to make your implant
last a lifetime.
A well-placed conventional implant can last 20–30 years or more — but longevity depends on aftercare just as much as surgical precision. Here's exactly what Dr. Haris recommends.
Use a soft-bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush at a 45° angle to the gumline around the implant crown — the same technique as for natural teeth.
Peri-implantitis (infection around the implant) is the leading cause of late implant failure. Daily flossing removes the bacterial plaque that causes it before it can damage bone.
Dr. Haris monitors bone levels around the implant with periodic X-rays. Early detection of any bone changes allows intervention before problems develop.
Smokers have a significantly higher risk of peri-implantitis and implant failure. Smoking reduces blood supply to the gum and bone — impairing the body's ability to maintain osseointegration long-term.
Grinding places excessive loading forces on the crown and implant-bone interface. If you grind, a night guard is strongly recommended to protect your investment.
