What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Implants function like natural tooth roots, restoring the function and aesthetics of missing teeth with crowns, bridges, or prostheses attached to them. This method is one of the safest and most durable solutions for patients experiencing tooth loss.

 

How is a Dental Implant Performed?

The dental implant procedure is performed by experienced dentists or oral surgeons in a sterile clinical environment. The steps of the procedure are generally as follows:

 

Examination and Planning: The jawbone and oral health are examined in detail, and the implant site is planned using X-rays or 3D tomography.

 

Implant Placement: A titanium implant screw is placed into the jawbone. This step is performed under local anesthesia.

 

Healing Process: The implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration) over a period of 2–6 months.

 

Crown or Prosthesis Application: A custom-made porcelain or zirconium crown is placed on the implant, thus replacing the missing tooth.
