Implantology, the field of placing titanium dental implants, offers one of the most advanced and reliable methods to replace missing teeth today. A dental implant acts as an artificial tooth root, placed into the jawbone to support a crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
Treatment Process
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium structure placed into the jawbone. This structure takes on the role of a natural tooth root.
An abutment (intermediate piece) is placed on the implant, and a porcelain or zirconium crown is placed on top of it.
The treatment process generally consists of three stages:
1. Clinical and radiological evaluation (Panoramic X-ray, CBCT).
2. Implant placement under local anesthesia.
3. Osseointegration period – the healing phase when the implant fuses with the bone.
Benefits
- There is no need to cut the adjacent teeth.
- Chewing function and speech are restored as close as possible to natural teeth.
- Prevents bone loss and restores chewing efficiency.
- Provides a natural look and long-lasting stability.
