Dental Implant Application In Which Cases?

People with missing teeth not only suffer from an aesthetically unfavorable appearance but also cannot perform functional tasks such as chewing. Due to tooth loss, the closure of the mouth changes and can cause major problems in the jaw joint. Psychologically, it leads to a lack of self-confidence. Dental implant treatment is a life-saving solution in such cases. It is a successful treatment for regaining ideal oral health in teeth lost due to trauma, decay, or periodontal disease.
Over time, problems such as resorption occur in the jawbone where teeth are missing. Since dental implants are applied without taking support from neighboring teeth, they are more protective compared to traditional bridge applications.
In cases of severe bone loss where the patient can no longer use dentures, implants can be applied to the upper and lower jaws. Afterwards, prostheses are placed and fixed on the implants.
For single tooth loss, implants can be applied to prevent damage to healthy neighboring teeth.
In the absence of large molars, one or more implants can be applied instead of removable dentures. With fixed bridges placed on implants, chewing function can be successfully restored.
Since implant screws have a certain thickness and width, the jawbone where the application will be made must be suitable to accommodate the implant screw. The quality of the jawbone is also an important factor for the successful outcome of implant treatment.
