What is Implant Treatment ?
One of the most widely used dental treatments nowadays to compensate for missing teeth is the dental implants. The dental implant is an artificial root made of pure titanium and placed on the jawbone by the dentist to replace an extracted or lost tooth and to support the prosthesis on it. It is applied into the jawbones under local anesthesia or sedation by a specialist who has sufficient experience and training in this field. Today it can be performed on almost every patient, due to the advancement in technology.
Advantages of the Implant Treatment
- Its appearance, function and feeling are like those of a natural tooth.
- It is more hygienic than a bridge and easier to clean.
- Implant prostheses offer better chewing and speaking functions than traditional prostheses.
- Thanks to the implant, the missing tooth can be compensated without touching the adjacent healthy teeth.
- The prosthesis retention is increased for people using total prosthesis supported by implants.
