Dental implants are titanium artificial roots placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Combined with prosthetic teeth placed on top, they offer functionality and appearance close to that of natural teeth. At ArtSmile Dental Clinic, implant treatments are planned and applied individually for each patient.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Functional support:
They help restore essential oral functions such as chewing and speaking.

Preserve bone structure:
Implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent bone loss that may occur over time.

Aesthetic integrity:
They close the gaps left by missing teeth, providing results close to a natural appearance.

Maintain neighboring teeth position:
When a missing tooth is not replaced, surrounding teeth may shift. Implants help prevent this.

Treatment Process

Examination and planning:
Your overall health, jawbone density, and oral hygiene are evaluated.

Implant placement:
Under local anesthesia, the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone.

Healing period:
A few months are typically needed for the implant to fuse with the bone.

Prosthetic placement:
Once healing is complete, a fixed or removable prosthesis is placed on the implant.
