Dental Implant Treatment: Permanent and Aesthetic Solution
Does the gap created by a missing tooth catch your eye when you look in the mirror? Or do you find it difficult to eat your favorite food, or feel the need to hide your mouth while speaking? You are not alone. Tooth loss is not only an aesthetic problem; it also deeply affects chewing function, speech, and most importantly, self-confidence.
Fortunately, modern dentistry offers us the closest solution to nature to complete missing teeth: Implantology.
What is Implantology?
A dental implant is a small, screw-like structure, usually made of titanium, designed to replace the root of a lost tooth. It is placed in the jawbone with a surgical procedure. You can think of this as an 'artificial tooth root'.
After this artificial root fuses with the bone, a porcelain or zirconium crown mimicking the visible part of the tooth is placed on it. The result is a brand new tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your own tooth.
Why Choose Implants Over Bridges or Dentures?
- Preserves Jaw Bone: Implants stimulate the bone and stop resorption.
- Protects Neighboring Teeth: No need to cut healthy teeth.
- Natural Tooth Feel: It does not move or slip, feeling just like your own tooth.
- Long-Lasting Investment: Can be used for a lifetime with good care.
Implant Treatment Process
The implant process is now a very comfortable and predictable treatment:
- Examination and Planning: Detailed examination with 3D tomography.
- Implant Placement: Applied painlessly under local anesthesia.
- Healing Process: Waiting 2-4 months for the implant to fuse with the bone.
- Getting Your New Tooth: Your permanent porcelain tooth is placed.
