Implant Treatment

Today, missing teeth can cause aesthetic and functional problems. Implant treatment is one of the most effective solutions in modern dentistry to overcome such situations. Here is basic information about implant treatment:

What is an Implant?

An implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium used to replace one or more lost teeth. It is placed on the jawbone and integrates with the bone over time, creating a solid foundation. Dentures placed on top behave and look like natural teeth.

Who is Suitable for Implant Treatment?

Many people with a healthy jawbone structure and good general health are suitable candidates for implant treatment. However, people with certain health problems or jaw bone deficiency may require additional examinations or bone grafts.

How is Implant Treatment Applied?

Implant treatment is usually completed in several stages. In the first stage, the implant is placed in the jawbone. After this step, the healing process is waited and the implant is integrated with the jawbone. In the final stage, prosthetic teeth are placed.

Is Implant Treatment Painful?

Local anesthesia is usually used during implant treatment, so no pain is felt during the procedure. There may be minimal pain or swelling after the procedure. However, this condition is usually manageable and discomfort is minimal for most patients.

How should implants be cared for?

Implants, like natural teeth, require regular care. Tooth brushing, flossing and regular dentist checks ensure the longevity of the implant. Healthy oral hygiene plays a major role in the success of implant treatment.

Conclusion

Implant treatment is a reliable method that eliminates missing teeth permanently and naturally. The treatment plan may differ for each patient, so it is important for those considering implant treatment to consult with an experienced dentist.
