Implant
It is possible to restore the function and aesthetics of teeth that have been lost or become dysfunctional in time due to natural or external effects.
The most frequently used technique in recent years is implant application. Implant is a high-tech artificial tooth root that is made of titanium and similar tissue-friendly materials and placed in the jawbone. The dental prosthesis fixed on the implant tooth root placed in the jawbone performs all the functions of a natural tooth. The most important reasons for choosing the implant method in dental treatment are that neighboring teeth are not damaged or cut during the treatment, the quality of the patient’s eating after the treatment and the long life of the implant.
Implants can be applied to anyone over the age of 18 with fully developed bones, face and jaw. In the examination performed by the specialist before the treatment, the patient is informed using visual materials what implant and prosthesis will be applied. If the patient is suitable for treatment and the recommended treatment is approved, treatment is started.
Although the implant does not have any known damage to the body, the allergic sensitivities of some patients may interfere with treatment. This situation is carefully checked by the specialist before starting treatment.
