What are dental implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone and acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. Implant containing false teeth consist of three parts. The implant, the abutment and the crown part. Dental implants and abutments are mostly made of titanium, and the crown part is made of metal porcelain or zirconia.

Choosing the right dental implant treatment for you

• Single tooth implant is for those who have one or a few missing teeth.
• Multiple implants are for those who have large gaps with several missing teeth side by side.
• Full arch implant retained dentures are for who need a implant retained strong and comfortable dentures
• All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants are for those who have weak jawbones and need treatment without bone grafting.

The quality of a dental implant depends on raw material and the production technology. For an end user recognising the quality of the material is not possible. Because of this reason, the best way to have an idea about the quality of a dental implant is checking the brands that your clinic offers you. The origin of the brand, the experience of the producer and the specifications of the implants will give you enough information to find a high quality dental implant. Some European and American brands such as Nobel Biocare™ , Straumann® , BEGO Semados® , BIOHORIZONS® are well known implant brands.

3. Ask for the laboratory infrastructure

Every dental implant treatment is completed with over-implant crowns. For a quality, natural looking crown, you should work with an experienced laboratory with the latest hardware infrastructure. Dental clinics with their own laboratories will complete your treatment faster and solve potential problems more easily.

4. Learn more about the team of dentists and medical staffs

Dental implant treatment is a surgical treatment. Therefore, you should make sure you are in contact with a highly experienced dental implant specialist. On the other hand, most dental implant procedures may require some additional treatments, so only a specialist team of dentists and medical staff can take care of all your treatment needs.

Dental clinics have different standards. What about the standards of the dental clinics you are in contact with? Try to find out more about the clinic where you plan to have your treatment. Ask about medical equipment infrastructures, the consumables they use, and most importantly, their sterilization and hygiene standards. If you do not know the dental clinic before, requesting photos or videos of the facility can give you enough insight into standards and hygiene.
