Dental Implants are titanium surgical screws implanted into the jawbone to hold a crown bridge that closes a missing tooth gap. They require two visits. At your first visit, the screws are inserted (osseointegration). After the screws are inserted, the gums need to heal for 2-3 months (time depends on individual needs). After that, you can come back to have a crown placed over the screws.
The implant is used to treat missing teeth and is placed in the jawbone. The dentures are placed on these screws. The advantage of implant treatment over other treatments is that the neighbouring teeth are not damaged. So the neighbouring teeth do not have to be removed or filled. The implant acts as a tooth root and you can eat, speak and laugh without any problems, just like with natural teeth.
Dental Implant treatment is used for people over the age of 18 who have completed the development of the jaw and face. Before treatment, X-rays are taken to determine if the jaw structure is suitable for the implant. Patients with bone fusion can be treated for implants after appropriate treatment.
A thorough examination and X-ray are required before the procedure. Your jaw bone and teeth are measured. After the implant is placed in a one-stage procedure, the temporary head is placed. In the two-stage procedure, the dental implant is covered with gum after placement and must heal. Then the prosthetic heads are inserted. In both cases, a temporary bridge is placed and the healing process will take about 2-6 months for the gums to fully heal.
Zirconium implants are the new generation of implants made to increase the resistance of titanium implants. In particular, it is used to increase the resistance in a narrow jawbone. Titanium is no different in terms of durability.
