Dental Implant

WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT HOW IS APPLIED? Dental Implants are screws made of titanium that are used in the treatment of missing teeth and placed inside the jawbone. A dental prosthesis is placed on these screws. The advantage of implant treatment over other treatments is that neighboring teeth are not damaged. In other words, neighboring teeth do not need to be cut. The implant acts as a tooth root and you can eat, talk and laugh like a natural tooth. How is dental implant treatment done? Implant treatment is done by giving the patient a mild sedation. A detailed examination and x-ray is required before the procedure. The jaw bones and remaining teeth are measured. There are two options for placing dental implants. In the single-stage procedure, a temporary head is attached after the implant is placed. In the two-stage procedure, after the dental implant is attached, it is covered with gums and left to heal. The prosthetic heads are then attached. In both cases, a temporary bridge is placed and a recovery period of 3 months is expected for the lower jaw and six months for the upper jaw. Sometimes newly made teeth can be placed on dental implants immediately. With a dental implant, the patient can safely laugh and eat. Zirconium implants are new generation implants made to increase the resistance of implants made of titanium. It is used to increase strength, especially in the narrow jawbone. It is no different from titanium except for durability. Zirconium is also used in tooth coating. Zirconium has a whiteness close to natural teeth and reflects light. Therefore, it is useful in terms of aesthetics as well as durability. It does not corrode and does not leave a metal taste in the mouth. No color change occurs over time. It has no harm to the body.
