Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

The loss of one or more teeth can affect chewing function, the position of adjacent teeth, and the aesthetics of the smile. Dental implants are used as a replacement for the tooth root and serve as a foundation for a crown, bridge, or other prosthetic restoration.

When an Implant Is Placed

When a single tooth is missing, an implant allows it to be replaced without the need to grind down adjacent healthy teeth. When multiple teeth are missing, implants can serve as supports for various prosthetic solutions.

Depending on the clinical situation, an implant can be placed immediately after tooth extraction, and in certain cases, a temporary tooth can also be placed immediately after implant placement.

Planning Implant Treatment

Implant treatment begins with a clinical examination and appropriate diagnostic procedures. When planning the treatment, we take into account the condition of the bone and surrounding tissues, the position of adjacent teeth, and the type of prosthetic restoration that will be made.

The goal of treatment is to replace the missing tooth while achieving good function and a natural appearance, while preserving the surrounding teeth and tissues.
