One of the best methods for treating missing teeth is dental implants. Implants help protect the alveolar bone when you lose a tooth. Bone loss is one of the biggest reasons for losing teeth. A dental implant is a small, titanium screw that is usually placed in the root portion of a missing tooth. The surgical procedure for placing an implant is actually quite mild and routine, requiring only local anesthesia in most cases. After the recovery period, the implant is covered with a porcelain crown, specially made to suit your current natural teeth. The documented success rate of the implants is above 95%, which is significantly higher than other prosthetic options.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots which are usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to ensure the function and aesthetics of the missing teeth. Dental implant is the best alternative for providing the function and aesthetics of natural teeth. Stopping the resorption of the jaw bone, which is one of the major problems arising from loss of teeth, is only obtained by implants today. Implants provide better speech and chewing functions compared to traditional bridges and prostheses, while also bringing a natural appearance on your face. Today, in the lack of teeth, the necessity of making bridges covering the adjacent teeth is eliminated thanks to implants. In the case of complete toothlessness, fixed prosthesis can be performed using dental implants instead of traditional complete dentures. Dental implants have no side effects.
Dental implant prosthesis are identical with natural teeth because they are fused with bone and as a result the output profile of the gingiva is perfect. This provides a more aesthetic and natural appearance.
Dentures that do not fit properly in the mouth or are unfit may cause difficulty during speech. Dental implants provide fixed dentures so these situations are not encountered.
It's hard to chew on a complete denture that does not fit well. Dental implants will prevent these problems.
Dental implants do not require any preparation on your natural teeth. Moreover, thanks to the implants made independently of other teeth, providing oral hygiene can be more comfortable than traditional bridges.
Implants can serve for many years or even a lifetime in patients who have regular oral care.
Since the patient will be under the effect of local anesthesia during implantation, there is no feeling of pain during the procedure. Many of the patients undergoing dental implants are talking about a mild pain after treatment. This mild pain can be controlled by painkillers. A large part of the patients say that the pain after dental implant treatment is less than a simple tooth extraction pain.
No. Dental implants do not require any special maintenance method different from the natural teeth. Dental implant care does not require an extra method, except for regular tooth brushing, flossing or interface brush use and routine dentist controls.
There is no such possibility. No case has been encountered in this regard.
