Achieve a Healthy Smile with Implant Dental Treatment
What is an Implant?
Despite warnings from dentists, many people experience tooth loss. Different applications have now replaced bridges or dentures for completing missing teeth. Implant application is performed today to achieve a permanent and more aesthetic appearance. Teeth consist of two parts. In addition to the visible parts of the teeth in the mouth, called crowns, there are also roots. Decayed teeth are extracted along with their roots. It would be correct to call the implants made to close the resulting gap, as replacement tooth roots. Missing teeth are completed with screws placed in the jawbone. The raw material of the screws is titanium. While the appearance is identical to the real thing, in terms of strength, a performance like your own tooth is achieved.
Advantages of Implant Treatment
- Thanks to the created tooth roots, your replacement tooth is held more firmly.
- Speech disorders are generally seen in those who use dentures. Especially dentures that are not made in accordance with the jaw structure constantly move in the mouth and tend to come out. However, with teeth that have created tooth roots, there is no change in your speech.
- The shape of the adjacent teeth to your missing tooth is not altered.
- Since there is no possibility of decay, it is lifelong.
- You regain your lost former confidence with the implant application.
- The act of eating does not turn into a torment. You can enjoy your meal without feeling pain.
When recommending the application to our patients, we do not fail to mention the disadvantages. This application requires a longer process compared to bridge treatment. It is more costly in financial terms and requires surgical intervention. As a dentist, I consider each of my patients as a separate individual and create a treatment plan on a patient-by-patient basis. Everyone's oral structure, number of missing teeth, bone, and gum condition are different from each other. For this reason, after the preliminary examination, we decide on the course of action. We apply the treatment to individuals whom we deem healthy for surgical intervention.
