It's not just dental aesthetics that upsets you, is it? Pains, discomforts and shame caused by the use of movable dentures, plates and hooks are also part of the factors that lead many people to seek a dental clinic to make these corrections.

Dental implantation has emerged as the definitive solution for patients with dental problems who have lost teeth throughout their lives. In the past decade the most appropriate treatment for this type of loss and problem were prostheses, plates and mobile dentures, but these treatments bothered patients, and did not bring comfort and safety.

The implant provides comfort, stability and safety for the patient, as well as improving the quality of life, providing relief at the time of feeding, the pleasure of tasting food, and improving self-esteem.

What is implant?

The dental implant is a titanium structure placed with external threads through surgery. This titanium screw is surgically installed within the jawbone or jaw to function as a superficial tooth root, replacing the root that was removed. A prosthetic crown is also attached and thus replaces the missing teeth.

Can everyone do implants?

The treatment indicated for people who lost teeth in the past was the use of dentures, prostheses or movable plate. But the discomfort caused by mobile prostheses also created embarrassment to patients' lives, became a shame at times, and also the fear that it would pop out of the mouth in the middle of a conversation.

Implants are suitable for people with:

• Loss of teeth, one or more over the years.

• Patients with periodontal disease.

• Physical trauma or severe impact on teeth that may be caused by accidents such as a car or motorcycle.

• Teeth with a high degree of tooth decay.

• Loss of bone support due to gum disease such as tartar and plaque.

 

The dental implant is a stable platform for the artificial tooth as it is integrated into the bone. When the prosthesis is mounted on the implant, it does not change position in the mouth and does not slip during speech or feeding.
