Implants: A Systematic Treatment Plan Is Half the Success

Hello, our teeth play an important role in daily life both aesthetically and functionally. We may not always feel their importance in everyday life, but when a problem arises, we realize how valuable they are.

Implants are a treatment method in which an artificial root shaped like a tooth root is placed, and an artificial tooth is attached on top of it. They are called the “third tooth” because they provide functions similar to natural teeth and can also restore chewing function.

One major advantage of implants is that they can be placed without damaging adjacent teeth after a natural tooth has been extracted. If you lose a tooth due to an accident or aging, this is one of the best ways to replace it.

If a tooth is extracted and then left untreated, problems can arise in the entire dental arch, and the alveolar bone may be damaged or inflammation may occur. To prevent these problems, implants are very effective.

Experts say that when performing implant treatment, each person's oral condition and physical condition should be taken into account. If you undergo implant treatment considering only low cost, there may be cases where reoperation is needed. Therefore, it is important to choose a dental clinic from the beginning that has a well-established system for diagnosis, surgery, and aftercare.

The lifespan of an implant is usually about 10 years, but this can vary depending on aftercare. Continued management is necessary even after surgery. In addition to everyday care such as thorough brushing, regular dental checkups, and flossing, the aftercare system provided by the dental clinic is important.
