IMPLANT TREATMENT
One of the most widely use areas of emerging technology is the medicine area. Dentistry have taken its share from the recent improvements in medicine. For example while there was no permanent and trouble free treatment for missing teeth in the past nowadays with implant applications patients can use their artificial teeth for many years. And it functions exactly the same, no different from the real ones.
Implants are the method used for treating missing teeth. Screws made of titanium are placed inside the jawbone. Dental prosthetics are attached to the screws. The difference between implant treatment and other methods is that it does not damage other teeth. Cutting the teeth near the missing teeth is no needed. Since the implant acts as a tooth root, you can perform all the basic activities you do with your natural teeth such as eating, talkin, and laughing.
Implant Treatment Can be Applied To Whom?
Implants can be applied to patients who are bigger than 18 years old and complete their facial and jaw development. Before starting the treatment according to the x-ray your dentist will decide if your jaw structure is appropriate for implant treatment.
Additional to face and jaw development some other criteria must be met for applying implant treatment. For example the blood sugar of diabetic patients must be regulated. Patients who use blood thinners must stop using the drug before the treatment. Patients who suffer from osteoporosis must have the proper treatment for it and have the implant treatment.
