What is Implant Treatment?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are similar in shape to screws and placed in the jawbone to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium due to its high tissue compatibility. Dental implants made of titanium create a bond with the natural bone when placed in the jawbone. Thus, it becomes a solid foundation to support one or more artificial teeth called crowns.

How is Implant Treatment Performed?

Implant treatment consists of several sessions. First, the patient's jawbone measurements are taken and implants suitable for the jawbone are prepared. In the first stage, local anesthesia is applied and implants are placed in the gum. No additional procedure is applied for an average of one and a half to two months for the implants to fuse with the gum. After sufficient time is given, the gums are checked by the doctor and if there is no problem, the second stage of the treatment is started. At this stage, the measurement of the tooth structure is taken and the chromes, namely artificial teeth, prepared in accordance with the measurement are placed on the implants. The duration of the implant operation may vary between 10 minutes and a few hours depending on the patient's condition. If there is no problem, the total treatment period covers a period of 2-3 months. The operation is successfully completed with post-treatment physician checks.

Implants are the best and most suitable alternative that can be used in tooth loss today and can replace the lost tooth. The chromes placed in place of lost teeth also provide extremely successful results in terms of aesthetics. Individuals experience gains such as regaining self-confidence and a happier social life.
