Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium which are placed in jawbone. Decays, disease or trauma may lead to tooth loss and implant treatment is the most widely used contemporary procedure for replacing missing teeth.
In case of a single missing tooth, without harming the neighboring teeth, the function and the aesthetics of the missing tooth is achieved.
In cases of multiple missing teeth, the patient who has no choice apart from using mobile prosthesis, is provided with another choice: a stable prosthesis.
It increases the quality of eating and speaking by stabilizing the mobile prosthesis, therefore increases the quality of life.
In the first step, your dentist places the implant in the jawbone surgically. The gum sutures over the implant, your dentist takes the suture off one week after the surgery. The implant remains covered for tree to six months while your implant fuses with jawbone.
In the second step your dentist uncovers your implant and takes an impression in order to make a prosthesis supported by the implant.
The steps can be adjusted to your needs by taking into consideration of the number of implants, bone quality and prosthesis plan these steps alterable.
Bone quality is important to achieve successful implant treatment. Treatment time depends on bone quality, bone density, further prosthetic construction.
Osseointegration is the most important factor to effect the duration of the treatment. Bone fusing to implant screw is called osseointegration.
In some cases, prosthetic procedure and surgical procedure can both be applied during the same appointment but in most cases, three to six months is required for healing and osseointegration.
Local or general anesthetics may be used during surgery for you not to feel any pain. There may be some swelling or tenderness a few days after surgery. Usually medication is prescribed to alleviate discomfort.
