Dental implants are artificial roots made of titanium, similar to screws, which are integrated into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They are designed to serve as a solid support for prosthetic works, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, thus providing a durable and aesthetic solution for restoring the dentition.
After implantation, there is a healing period of approximately 5-6 months, during which the natural bone gradually integrates with the implants, ensuring stable and long-lasting anchorage. Subsequently, the dentist attaches a prosthetic abutment to the top of the implant. This abutment serves as a solid base for securing the customized prosthetic work.
Prosthetic works are created to perfectly match the appearance and natural function of the teeth, thereby restoring the chewing function and the aesthetics of the patient's smile. Thus, dental implants offer not only an efficient solution for missing teeth but also a significant improvement in the quality of life and confidence in one's smile.
