Dental implant is a modern treatment method consisting of a titanium screw placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth and a prosthesis placed on it. It aims to restore both chewing function and aesthetic appearance by imitating the natural tooth root. At Istanbul Galata University Dental Hospital, implant applications are planned individually by evaluating the patient's history and bone structure.
Who is it suitable for? It can be preferred in a wide range of cases, from single tooth missing to complete edentulism. Safe results are obtained in patients with sufficient bone volume and general health status. In case of bone deficiency, an appropriate infrastructure can be created with supportive procedures such as grafts or sinus lifting.
Treatment process: After the initial examination and imaging, the implant is placed surgically. After osseointegration is completed during the healing period, measurements are taken and the personalized crown / prosthesis is fixed on the implant. With proper care and regular checks, implants can be used without problems for many years.
Advantages: It replaces the missing tooth without damaging the neighboring teeth, slows down bone resorption, and offers comfort and aesthetics close to natural teeth. It improves the quality of daily life with fixed or removable prosthesis options.
