Dental problems are a difficult and disturbing process that we all experience over time. With today's rapidly developing technology, developments in dentistry are also increasing. People may have tooth and gum problems due to various problems. Missing teeth are one of these problems. Implant procedure is applied for the treatment of missing teeth.   We can define implant as screws made of titanium that are placed inside the jawbone.   These screws placed inside the jawbone are supported by a dental prosthesis. In the areas where teeth are missing, melting may begin in the jawbone over time. Implant surgery can be applied to prevent this melting and to protect the oral structure.  

Implant is the best and most suitable method that can be used in tooth loss and to replace the lost tooth. The chromes placed in place of the lost teeth also provide extremely successful results in terms of aesthetics. Gains such as regaining self-confidence and a happier social life are observed in individuals. When careful and regular care is provided, it is suitable for use for many years and contributes to healthy nutrition, as the person can easily eat everything just like their natural teeth.

 The difference of this treatment method from other treatments is that it does not harm the healthy neighboring teeth. The implant acts as a root in the teeth and allows you to use them like your natural teeth. You will not have any problems in situations such as eating, speaking, laughing. Your tooth roots will be strong and your teeth will have a perfect appearance. Implants can be used for a long time when regular oral care is provided. Before implant treatment, a personalized treatment program is determined for the person and the treatment method is applied according to the person's oral structure and problems. There are two types of implant methods;

Endosteal implant: Endosteal implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. Then, the gum is shaped as the gum tissue heals.  

Subperiosteal implants: This type of implant consists of a metal frame placed under the gum tissue. The materials in the metal frame come out from the gums here and the implants are mounted.
