IMPLANTS (DENTAL TRANSPLANTATION)
Today, dental implants are arguably the best alternative to natural teeth. While it provides better speech and chewing functions compared to traditional bridges and prostheses, it also brings a natural appearance to your face.
Today, it is understood that the implant is the most studied form of dental treatment in the 21st century. When applied with correct diagnosis, sufficient knowledge, experience and equipment, dental implants are a form of treatment that can provide successful results for the patient and the physician.
What is an implant (tooth transplant)?
In short, an implant is an artificial tooth root made of suitable material that is placed in the jawbone to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth. (implant=implantat=implantate=fake tooth=screw tooth=screw tooth)
Is treatment with implants safe and long-lasting?
Studies to create a safe and high-quality implant have been ongoing since 1809. Today, there are implants on the market that are very close to perfection and have 35 years of clinical follow-up, as well as relatively new implant brands. Your dentist will give you more detailed information on this subject.
Can implants be used in every situation?
Whether a single tooth or multiple teeth are missing, an implant can be used for any situation if there is sufficient bone to place an implant.
Can each patient be implanted?
Implant screws are structures that have a specific thickness and width. For this reason, the jawbone in the area where the implant is planned to be placed must have a height and width that will accept this implant screw. The quality of existing bone is also one of the factors affecting implant success. In addition, the gums must be completely healthy before the treatment and as long as the implant remains in the mouth. As long as the patient's general health condition is good, there is no upper age limit that would prevent implant application, but it may not be preferred to apply it to very young patients whose bone development is not completed.
