Dental implant is a method of replacing empty teeth that is performed through surgery. Dental implants are used as a permanent and stable solution to replace missing or missing teeth and help patients to have a beautiful smile again and enjoy the ability to eat well. What is an implant? Dental implants are one of the best and most modern methods for replacing lost teeth and have wide applications in modern dentistry. In general, a dental implant is a metal base (usually made of titanium) that is surgically implanted in the jawbone and plays the role of a natural tooth root. After this base is welded to the bone (a process called ossification) or (Osseointegratio), you can put a dental cover (dental crown) on it. Beautiful and regular teeth Healthy and beautiful teeth are one of the jewels of human beauty. With dental implants, you can restore your teeth to life in a natural way. This advanced process allows people to have more self-confidence and a beautiful smile by having beautiful and regular teeth. Dental implants also help people improve chewing and enjoy a better quality of life. **What should we eat after the implant?** The question of most of the clients is what food should we use after the dental implant? We have explained this matter to you dear ones separately and in detail. Advantages and disadvantages of dental implants Dental implants are one of the best and most stable ways to replace missing teeth. However, like any other medical procedure, there are pros and cons that must be considered before making a final decision: ### Advantages of dental implants • **Natural appearance and function:** Another advantage of dental implants is because they are very similar to natural teeth, they are very desirable in terms of beauty and function (chewing, speaking) and allow you to enjoy eating and speaking without worry. • **Durability and durability:** Implants are very durable and if properly cared for, they can last until the end of a person's life. The titanium base of the implant is welded to the jawbone and provides high stability. • **Improving oral and dental hygiene:** Care of implants is like natural teeth and includes brushing and flossing. This helps with overall oral hygiene. • **Maintenance of the jaw bone:** Tooth loss can cause the jaw bone to atrophy over time. Implants prevent this process by stimulating the bone and maintain the health and density of the jaw bone. This also helps to maintain the natural shape of the face. ### Disadvantages of dental implants • High cost: Dental implants are usually more expensive than other tooth replacement methods such as dentures or bridges. • Long treatment process: Implant implantation is a time-consuming process and usually requires several sessions and several months for the implant base to fuse to the jaw bone (osteointegration process). • Need for surgery: Implant placement requires a surgical procedure that may be associated with short-term pain, swelling, and bruising. Who are dental implants suitable for? Dental implants are suitable for a wide range of people, but certain conditions are necessary for this treatment to be successful. In general, implants are the best option for people who have the following conditions: ### People who have lost one or more teeth • Replacing a tooth: An implant is the best option for replacing a missing tooth, because it does not require shaving adjacent healthy teeth (such as a bridge). • Replacement of several teeth: To replace several missing teeth in a row, several implants or bridges based on implants can be used. ### People who have good general health • Absence of uncontrolled chronic diseases: Diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes, severe heart diseases, or immune system defects can interfere with the healing process and increase the chance of implant failure. However, many people with these diseases can have implants if the disease is properly controlled. • Not taking certain medications: Taking certain medications, such as bisphosphonates (used for osteoporosis), can affect bone formation and implant success. Consultation with a doctor is necessary in these cases. ### People who have sufficient and healthy jawbones • Adequate bone density and volume: The implant is welded to the jaw bone, so it is necessary to have enough bone with the appropriate density to support the implant. • Gum health: healthy and infection-free gums are vital for implant success. Active gum (periodontal) diseases must be treated before implant placement. • Absence of severe bone resorption: If a long time has passed since tooth extraction, the jawbone may be degenerated. In these cases, bone grafting (bone grafting) may be required before implant placement to provide sufficient bone volume. ### People who are at least 18 years old • Full growth of the jaw bone: the jaw bone continues to grow until about 18 years of age. Therefore, implants are usually not recommended for people under the age of 18 until bone growth is complete and more permanent results are achieved. Who cannot do dental implants or should be more careful? There are people who do not have the conditions for dental implants or they should do it carefully and with the advice of a dentist so that they can get better results. Those who do not have the conditions for dental implants include people such as: • Children and teenagers under 18 years old • Pregnant women • Weed smokers and tobacco users • People with certain uncontrolled diseases • People with severe osteoporosis Dental implant cost and tariff in Sanandaj The cost and tariff of the implant varies depending on the procedure, location and implant brand used by the dental center.
