Dental implants are titanium or zirconium screws compatible with the human body. It is a titanium screw technology used to make prostheses on existing tooth defects. The function of the implant placed in the jawbone is like the natural tooth root. In case of a single tooth defect, the missing tooth can be replaced without damaging the adjacent tooth. Fixed or removable dentures can be used if the teeth are completely defective. Removable prostheses, which are especially difficult to use in the lower jaw, can be fixed without solid teeth. Dental implants are usually made of titanium-containing materials and are artificial tooth roots. Zirconium materials are especially preferred in the treatment of dental implants. Zirconium implants are more durable. Because titanium implants can break in some special cases. Therefore, zirconium material is superior to titanium. In this way, the dental implant is stronger and more durable.

How are implants made?

The purpose of dental implants is to create a groove in the jawbone and place the screw in that part. Use local anesthesia during the application, which makes the procedure more comfortable. General anesthesia or sedation may be the first choice. Create an area of ​​suitable diameter and length in the lower jaw and place the implant there. However, before that, the structure of the mouth and teeth should be measured. Autolytic sutures are used for surgery. After dental implant surgery, you should follow your doctor's recommendations. You should pay attention to ice application, recommended medications, sensitivity to cold and heat.

If you pay attention to your oral hygiene, you will recover faster. Implant application is the re-activation of missing teeth. It is no different from your natural teeth. Implants may not be suitable for everyone. Dental implants are not suitable for patients with poor general health, bad habits, and incorrect mandible structure. This treatment is difficult for people with serious genetic diseases, excessive smoking or teething problems, and people with insufficient jaw density. Anyone who is over the age of 18 and does not have a serious health problem can receive implant treatment. Of course, we need to complete human bone development first.

The gum health of the patient is also very important. The implant has a certain length and thickness. Dental implants applied to the jaws should be of the most appropriate size. Especially in patients using anticoagulant drugs, the drug should be discontinued before treatment. People with osteoporosis can only receive this treatment on the advice of a doctor. Before the operation, you should inform your doctor about existing diseases and medications.
