IMPLANT-
Location:
ISTANBUL or ANTALYA / TURKEY
Implants
are another alternative for replacing missing teeth. Implants
are artificial roots attached into the jaw bone and hold
the bridges or replacement teeth. Implants
are preferred by many patients because they are very natural
and act like your own teeth. Dentists also prefer implants
becauce of implants are reliable and success rates are pretty
high.
The implant
itself is made of metal, usually titanium, which has proven
to be very compatible with bone and other tissues. Like
conventional crowns and bridges, the replacement teeth mounted
on the implants are made of porcelain or porcelain and metal.Placing
the implant and allowing the bone to fuse with the implant
will take some time. The entire procedure can take place
over a few months and usually involves more than one surgical
appointment. Placement and adjustment of the artificial
teeth also may require more than one appointment.

One half of
the tooth has been prepared so you can see
approximately how much tooth structure has
been reduced.
|
|
 |
The
tooth has now been fully prepared to make room
for the porcelain (and most times an underlying
layer of metal for support). Then two sides
of the tooth are prepared with only a slight
taper to help hold the crown in place. |
|
 |
|
The new crown
is being put into place. Notice the way it
will fit up under the gum tissue to hide the
margin ( junction ) between tooth and crown.
|
|
 |
|
The final
crown is shaped as much as possible like the
natural tooth to look and feel good. It is
attached with special dental cements.
