Surgical implant treatment is the process of placing artificial tooth roots made of titanium into the jawbone to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth. In modern dentistry, it is a permanent restoration discipline that provides the closest result to natural teeth without damaging neighboring teeth.
What is the Treatment Process?
3D Planning & Examination: Bone structure is analyzed via CT scans and X-rays to determine the precise, millimetric placement of the implants.
Surgical Placement: Under local anesthesia, titanium implants are gently inserted into prepared sockets within the jawbone.
Osseointegration: A healing period of approximately 2 to 4 months is required for the implant to biologically fuse with the bone.
Gingival Contouring: After healing, a small healing abutment is attached to shape the gum tissue for a natural-looking prosthetic fit.
Final Restoration: Custom-made zirconium or porcelain crowns are secured onto the implants, completing the functional and aesthetic restoration.*
Benefits and Advantages:
Natural Sensation: By transmitting biting forces directly to the bone, it mimics the feeling and function of natural teeth during speech and mastication.
Preservation of Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, there is no need to grind down or damage neighboring healthy teeth to support the gap.
Bone Health Maintenance: Implants stimulate the jawbone, effectively preventing the bone loss (resorption) that typically follows tooth extraction.
Lifelong Durability: With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants are the longest-lasting solution available in modern dentistry.
