A dental implant is a piece of metal that looks like a screw. It is placed in the jaw where the roots of the missing tooth are located. Over time, bone grows around the implant and helps keep it in place. An artificial tooth, or crown, is then attached to the metal to fill the gap left by the missing tooth. The crown is custom-made to look like the size, shape and colour of your other teeth. Dental implants can also be used to hold a dental bridge or dentures in place.

It is normal for people to feel consciously bad if they have missing teeth. With implant treatment, you can regain your confidence and have a beautiful smile. One of the reasons why people choose implant treatment is that they are a more permanent option than dentures. As long as you take proper care of dental implants, they can last as long as natural teeth. Dentures have a lifespan of about five to 10 years. Because they fit snugly in your mouth, they can cause you to feel uncomfortable as your mouth changes shape over time. If you want to avoid damaging your existing teeth, dental implant applications are a suitable option to choose. People may choose to have bridges because in some cases it is a less complicated procedure than implants. The most obvious implant benefits are as follows: Correct chewing and speech ability Restoration of facial aesthetics Preservation of the remaining jawbone structure Restoration of the natural appearance and function of the teeth Increased confidence and self-esteem

After any minor surgery, your gums and face may be bruised, sore and swollen. You may also have bleeding gums. You may need to eat soft foods to allow the dental implant site to heal. No special care is required for a dental implant. It is recommended that you keep your teeth clean by brushing and flossing and have regular dental check-ups. As well as affecting the way you eat and speak, having missing teeth can really affect your self-confidence. Dental implant treatment is a long-term solution to replace missing teeth. Implants are placed directly into the jawbone, this application provides an artificial place for the root of your missing tooth or tooth. The dental implant application is placed directly into your jawbone and titanium screws are used to replace the missing tooth root. Once in place, the bone surrounding the implant will slowly fuse into place, holding the implant firmly in place. During dental implant treatment, a single tooth or multiple teeth can be treated. It is possible to have several implants in the same treatment session. If you have few or no teeth, dental implant application can be done in a single day.

Bone is a vital or living system. This means that without biting pressure, the bone gradually disappears (atrophy). An implant prevents this loss because it has a great effect: It trains the jawbone. This helps to protect the bone and gums in the long term. Restoration with implants allows you to feel completely natural in the mouth. Implants offer the highest comfort even with fixed or removable dentures: The restoration sits softly on the gums and can be easily cleaned and maintained. Each implant treatment consists of five steps - regardless of whether only a single tooth needs to be replaced or whether extensive restoration is required: To determine the right treatment, your dentist will assess your initial situation. Individual case planning is based on X-rays Panoramic X-ray images (orthopantomogram) Modelling Specific functional tests when necessary Computerised tomography For a successful implant treatment in the long term, the following pre-treatments may be necessary, depending on the situation: Elimination of caries or gum plaque Orthodontic tooth correction Bone augmentation The first connection to the bone, known as initial stability, is made. During the healing phase, increased bone cell cells are added to the implant surface. This process is called osseointegration. Modern anaesthetic and implantation methods nowadays ensure that the treatment is as comfortable as possible. The time required depends on the number of implants and the individual situation. After the dental implant has been placed, it takes several months for the bone cells to fuse and heal in the implant. In the meantime, your new teeth will be produced. After the implants are completely settled, the artificial teeth are placed on the screws and the treatment is completed. Contact us to make an appointment with our doctors.
