All about dental implants (dental implants)
Typical dental implant is a small screw-like piece made of titanium that acts as a replacement for the root of a missing natural tooth. Dental implant is placed in the upper or lower jaw bone.
After the operation, the implant must be connected to the bone, which can be done a few weeks after the operation..
Treatment time, when your implants are placed and later when the dentures are placed, will vary depending on your situation....sometimes it may take a few days for the teeth to look normal and healthy....in some cases, you may need to wait longer before the restoration is complete.
Dental implants can be used to replace a missing tooth or a number of missing teeth. Implant teeth look like natural teeth and also maintain the integrity of the facial structure and improve the appearance and function of the jaw.
After the screw-like fixture is securely installed and the implant is attached to the bone, the dentist can place an actual implant, which is a natural tooth replacement, over the screw.
Anyone who has lost one or more teeth due to injury, disease or decay can be a good candidate for an implant.
Sometimes if some teeth are missing, dental implants with veneers or bridges can replace them.
### Do you not know whether you are a suitable candidate for dental implants or not?
If you are healthy enough, you can probably get dental implants.... Your dentist will study your and your family's medical history to make the final decision about replacing your teeth.

You may feel discomfort and pain after the operation, but this pain is usually mild and can be relieved with some painkillers... It can also be helpful to talk to previous patients about their procedures.

### What is the dental implant procedure?
**Dental implants** If you have missing teeth, there is a solution in front of you.... This treatment method is more permanent than any tooth replacement method such as a bridge or artificial teeth.... This method is complex and includes several steps.... In some cases, bone grafting is also necessary before the actual tooth implantation.
### Preparation before surgery
Before the operation, the dentist must determine whether there is a solid base (enough bone in the gum) to place the implants or not.... If the existing bone is not enough, bone grafting is necessary.... The dentist also needs orthopantomography (OPT), which has a complete idea of the position of the nerves, sinuses and other important data that can help with the surgery.
Dental implant surgery requires several visits to the doctor, the procedure performed during the implant is:
- Titanium screw placement;
- placing support (support );
- Creating the right color for veneers and taking a mold of the tooth;
- and placing the crown...
- Normally, a time interval of three to six months is formed between the first and second appointment.
### place support (support )
The next stage of dental implants is done three to six months after the screws are placed....Abutments are placed on top of the screws and support the crowns...
A small incision is required so that the dental surgeon can place the abutments on the titanium screws.
### Color matching for crowns
Matching the color of the veneers may be done at the same time as placing the abutment... Some dentists prefer to do this in a separate appointment... The surgeon or dental technician will determine the color of your teeth so that you can make the veneers... Also, a mold of your teeth will be taken to determine the shape and size of the veneer. ### Crown placement
After the crowns are ready, these parts will be placed on top of the abutments... You need to make sure that the crown is comfortable for you... Your dentist may make an appointment...
In some cases, the entire tooth implantation process is done in one session... the screw and the implant are placed in one session... but this method is not recommended, because the screw needs time to integrate and may have complications.
