What is an Implant?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium, placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They are considered the closest alternative to natural tooth structure.
Who Can Get Implant Treatment?
Anyone with good general health and sufficient jaw bone structure to support the implant can receive implants. In cases where the bone structure is insufficient, the infrastructure can be prepared with bone graft (bone powder) applications.
What is the Treatment Process Like?
- Examination and Planning: Jaw structure is examined with panoramic X-ray and 3D tomography.
- Implant Placement: Implants are placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The procedure is usually painless.
- Healing Process: Wait 2-3 months for the implant to integrate with the bone (osseointegration).
- Prosthesis Stage: After healing is completed, porcelain or zirconia teeth are attached to the implant.
Advantages of Implants
Applied without damaging adjacent teeth, gives a natural tooth feeling, completely restores speech and chewing functions and is long-lasting.
