Implant

Dental implants are screws that replace one or more missing teeth. Dental implants function the same as tooth roots in the jawbone and are invisible after surgical placement.

They are used to support veneers after implantation, bridges or dentures are fixed to the implant. They are made of titanium, which is biocompatible, meaning they are not rejected by the body. Titanium and titanium alloys are the metals most commonly used in both dental and other bone implants such as orthopedic joint replacements.

Dental implants have the highest success rate among materials implanted in the human body. In addition to completing missing teeth, implants also help maintain the shape and density of the jawbone. It also supports the facial skeleton and indirectly the soft tissue structures, cheeks and lips.

The Specialist Dentist thoroughly explains the possible treatment options for each clinical situation to the patient. Prosthetic options for replacing missing teeth in patients with regional edentulism include implant-supported veneers, bridges, and implant-supported removable dental prostheses. Implant-supported fixed dental prostheses provide more improvement than tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses in improving oral health-related quality of life, and are the primary recommended treatment option for patients with many missing teeth.

Aesthetic appearance and functional comfort are important criteria to be evaluated when returning missing teeth. After the implantation, the patient regains oral health, unwanted tooth movements are prevented, aesthetic and functional requirements reach the ideal level. Implant placement is a delicate surgical procedure that requires a professional approach. The most important factor in the success of the surgical procedure is the experience, skills and knowledge of the doctor.
