Implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in place of lost teeth and fuse with the jawbone to restore natural tooth function.
Implants are artificial tooth roots made with titanium screws placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. The implant offers an aesthetic and healthy smile by restoring the functions of the natural tooth. It provides a long-lasting and robust solution by fusing with the jawbone. It is not a removable structure like other prostheses, so it is one of the most permanent and stable treatment methods.
The first stage of implant treatment is the examination and planning with the dentist. Your dentist will assess the adequacy of your jawbone and, if necessary, bone grafting can be performed. Then, the implant is placed in the jawbone and the healing process begins. This process usually takes between 3-6 months, during which time the implant fuses with the jawbone. Finally, an aesthetic and functional tooth is placed on the implant and the treatment is completed.
Implant treatment is suitable for anyone who has suffered tooth loss and wants to regain their teeth. However, jawbone health is an important factor. Patients with insufficient bone structure may require bone grafting. In addition, people with poor gum health should also make the necessary improvements before treatment. Anyone over 18 years of age and in good general health can benefit from implant treatment.
