Modern Solution for Missing Teeth: Dental Implants
Tooth loss is not only an aesthetic problem but also a serious condition that impairs chewing function and jawbone health. Dental implants are titanium screws placed in the jawbone to replace lost teeth. These screws act as artificial tooth roots, creating a solid foundation for porcelain or zirconium teeth to be placed on top.
Advantages of Implant Treatment
Implant treatment has numerous advantages over traditional bridges or dentures:
- Natural Tooth Feeling: Since it transmits chewing force directly to the bone, it is no different from your own tooth.
- Preservation of Adjacent Teeth: There is no need to cut healthy adjacent teeth as in bridge treatment.
- Prevention of Bone Resorption: It prevents melting and collapsing of the face form by keeping the jawbone active.
- Longevity: Can be used for a lifetime with good care.
To regain the smile and eating freedom you lost, implant treatment is the gold standard of modern dentistry.
How Does the Treatment Process Work?
The implant process in our clinic begins with a detailed tomography. After analyzing the suitability of the bone structure, the implant is placed with a painless procedure under local anesthesia. After a period of 2-3 months for the bone and implant to fuse (osseointegration), the aesthetic superstructure is attached. With advanced surgical techniques such as All-on-4, temporary teeth can be attached on the same day even in patients with no teeth.
