What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial roots made of titanium used to replace missing teeth. Implants are placed in the jawbone and function like natural tooth roots. Implants are the most natural and durable way to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants are used to solve the following problems caused by missing teeth:
- Difficulty eating food
- difficulty speaking
- Loss of aesthetic appearance
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants have many benefits. These include:
- Natural-looking smile: Because implants function like natural tooth roots, teeth restored with implants are indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Preventing tooth loss: Implants can help prevent jawbone loss caused by tooth loss.
- Reducing tooth pain: Implants can help reduce pain caused by decayed or damaged teeth.
- Making eating easier: Implants can perform chewing functions like natural teeth, making eating easier and more enjoyable.
Dental Implant Application Steps.
The dental implant procedure usually takes place in two or three stages:
- Implant placement: In the first stage, the dentist places implants in the jawbone. This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia.
- Implant healing: While the implants fuse to the jawbone, the dentist places a temporary tooth or bridge. This recovery period usually takes several months.
- Crown or bridge placement: In the final stage, the dentist places a permanent crown or bridge on the implants. This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia.
