TEETH IMPLANT TREATMENTS

What is implant treatment?

Implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone and made to support dentures. Fixed or removable prostheses made on these long-lasting and life-long artificial roots, which are made to replace missing teeth, fulfill the patient's chewing function and aesthetics.

In which cases is implant treatment applied?

• In cases where the patient cannot use the full prosthesis as a result of excessive bone resorption in the upper and lower jaws with no teeth, the prosthesis is placed on the implants to increase the retention.
• If the posterior region is edentulous in the loss of molars, a fixed bridge can be made on several implants instead of a removable partial denture.
• In long edentulous cavities, the fact that the bodies of the bridges are long creates a problem. The support and durability of long bridges can be increased with one or more implants to be applied to the edentulous area.
• In case of loss of a single tooth, a single implant can be placed on the missing tooth without the need to reduce the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth and a single crown can be made on it.
