DENTAL IMPLANT

What are Dental Implants?   

Dental implant is an artificial root of tooth that is usually made by pure titanium. Dental implant is the most accurate treatment method to replace the missing tooth without damaging the teeth. Dental implants contribute to the chewing function, the first step of the digestion, as much as our own teeth. 

 

How is Implant Treatment Applied?

The first step in dental implant treatment is an accurate planning. In our clinics, high-tech 3D imaging systems are used to evaluate the detailed bone structure.

After planning, the implant is applied to the jawbone by a qualified Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. It takes approximately 2 months for the implant to fuse with the lower jawbone and 3 months for the upper jawbone.

Once the healing is complete, an abutment is placed to the dental implant for the planned prosthesis to be attached. A crown, bridge or removable prosthesis is then attached to the abutment.
