Dental implants are an innovative and effective solution for replacing lost teeth. They are made of a biologically inert and durable material – titanium, which ensures excellent biocompatibility with the human body and minimal risk of allergic reactions. During a surgical procedure, a dental implant is precisely inserted into the jawbone, where it functions as a stable foundation for fixed dental prostheses, such as crowns, bridges or even full dentures.
This method is fundamentally different from traditional removable dentures, as dental implants grow into the jawbone over time, forming a completely stable and permanent replacement for the missing tooth or teeth. This biological process, called osseointegration – direct bone fusion with the implant surface – is a fundamental prerequisite for the success of dental implant therapy.
Dental implants not only aesthetically restore a natural smile and harmonize the facial profile, but also completely restore vital functions, such as chewing and articulate speech, which are often impaired as a result of tooth loss. In addition, placing dental implants effectively stimulates the physiological load of the jaw bone, thus preventing bone atrophy or loss, which is a characteristic phenomenon after tooth extraction and can negatively affect the appearance of facial features and contribute to premature aging. Dental implants also help maintain the stability of adjacent teeth, preventing their displacement and ensuring a correct bite.
Compared to conservative dental methods, such as root canal treatment, which is aimed at preserving an existing but problematic tooth, dental implantation is a rational and predictable solution in cases where a tooth has been irreversibly lost or its restoration is impossible.
Although the initial financial investment in a dental implant procedure may seem significant, in the long run this choice often proves to be more economical and comfortable, given the excellent durability, functionality, and minimal maintenance required by dental implants.
Gum disease.
Gum disease is mainly caused by the buildup of bacteria and infections in the mouth. Poor oral hygiene is a major contributor to the development of these diseases. If left untreated, gum disease can progress to damage the bone structure that supports the teeth, which can lead to tooth and jawbone loss. To prevent such consequences, it is strongly recommended to brush your teeth at least twice a day. In addition, any existing gum disease must be completely treated and resolved before starting smile design treatment.
Tooth Extraction.
Tooth extraction is usually performed when a tooth cannot be restored by other treatment methods. This procedure is necessary in cases where the teeth are severely damaged, decayed, or loose, as well as when gum disease has caused irreversible damage.
Root Canal Treatment.
Root canal treatment is a widely used procedure to treat damaged or infected teeth. The treatment involves removing the pulp (nerves and blood vessels) inside the tooth, followed by cleaning and sealing the canal system. In most cases, a dental crown or filling is then placed to restore the function of the tooth. Root canal therapy is not only effective for adults, but can also be safely performed on children if necessary.
Teeth Whitening.
Teeth whitening is a simple, painless cosmetic procedure that is widely used to treat tooth discoloration and yellowing. It significantly improves the brightness of a patient’s smile without affecting the structure of the teeth. This method is safe, effective, and minimally invasive.
