Implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are placed in the jawbone to perform the function and aesthetics of missing teeth.
Stopping the melting in the jawbone, which is an important factor in tooth loss, is possible today only with implants. Implants provide better speech and chewing function than traditional coatings and prostheses, while also giving your face a natural appearance.
How is the Implant Applied?
Whether your implant treatment will be performed in one stage or in several stages, first of all, your dentist will make a detailed examination of your teeth and gums. The brand of implant to be used is selected, and the implant is placed by opening an incision in the area where the implant will be placed by the dental surgeon. Then, a very small stitch is inserted into the area where the implant is placed, these stitches usually fall out on their own. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, but in some cases it can also be performed under general anesthesia with the approval of your doctor. After the healing period of your implant is completed, your new teeth are placed on it.
What are the Advantages of the Implant?
