IMPLANT

What is a dental implant? Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone to support dental prostheses. Dental implant applications are generally preferred in the presence of missing teeth that impair tooth and smile aesthetics. In dental implant applications, artificial tooth roots made of a material such as titanium, compatible with body tissues, are placed in the jawbone with a small surgical procedure in a sterile environment. The implant, which fully adheres to the jawbone in approximately 2-3 months, becomes in a position to carry the prosthesis to be placed on it.
