Dental Implants

Dental implants are a modern and effective dental treatment method that offers a solution to people with tooth deficiencies. This treatment involves surgically placing screw-like implants made of titanium into the jawbone to replace lost teeth.Implant treatment usually involves the following steps:

1. Examination and Planning: The dentist evaluates the patient's condition, takes radiological images and examines the area where the implant will be placed. The treatment plan is created at this stage.

2. Surgical Stage: The placement of a dental implant is a surgical procedure. In this procedure, which is performed under local anesthesia, a small incision is made in the jawbone and implant screws are placed in the bone.

3. Healing Process: A healing process is needed for the implant to integrate with the jawbone. This period usually ranges from a few weeks to a few months.

4. Superstructure Placement: Once healing is complete, the dentist places an abutment over the implant. The abutment is the connection between the implant and the prosthetic tooth.

5. Prosthesis Construction and Placement: The specially prepared prosthetic tooth is placed on the abutment. Prosthetic teeth provide similar appearance and function to natural teeth.
