A dental implant mimics the function of the root of the tooth. The implant attaches directly to the jawbone and makes a protrusion from the gum to the oral cavity to carry the dental crown. Thus, it replaces a lost tooth.
The intact teeth on both sides of the gap of the teeth lost with the implant are not cut to make a bridge. At the same time, thanks to the implant, the movement of the dentures in the mouth is prevented, and therefore the painful pressure points are removed, that is, the dentures are fixed.
Radiographic examination is an indispensable part of implant dental treatment. In the radiographic examination, the bone structure of the person is clearly understood and the bone structure suitable for the placement of the implant screw is determined. A treatment plan is prepared for the person who meets the bone density and other eligibility requirements. In this personalized plan, the implantology specialist maxillofacial surgeon determines the type and length of implant he deems appropriate; decides with which method/technique the implant will be replaced. The method in question is chosen depending on which jaw the implant will be applied to and the bone density. The chosen method determines the total duration of the implant treatment.
Although the implant is a surgical procedure, the person does not feel pain or pain during the operation. Since the area to be implanted will be anesthetized with local anesthesia, no matter whether the implant operation is complicated or simple, in any dental treatment performed with anesthesia, it is not felt much. However, depending on the request of the person, general anesthesia can be applied if the physician deems it appropriate. After the anesthesia wears off, the pain reliever your doctor will give will be sufficient to prevent the pain. There may be a slight swelling after the operation. This swelling will disappear after a while.
