A dental implant is a surgical procedure used to replace missing teeth. In this procedure, metal supports (titanium) are placed in the jaw bone, and they resemble screws in shape. Artificial teeth (connections) are then fitted over these supports, giving you a natural-looking tooth.

Let’s review some details:

• Dental implant steps:

1. Titanium abutments are placed in the jawbone.
2. Artificial teeth (connections) are fitted over these supports.
3. The artificial teeth are permanently attached.

• The importance of dental implants:

1. Replace missing teeth and restore normal oral functions.
2. Improving overall appearance and self-confidence.

• Conditions and success:

1. The jawbone must be able to support the supports.
2. The patient must be free of diseases that hinder bone healing.
3. Aftercare must be followed to maintain the health of the implanted teeth.

• Complications and recovery:

1. Minor discomfort may occur after surgery, which can be relieved with medication.
2. You must adhere to the doctor’s instructions after the operation.

Let’s review some conditions:

• Jaw skeleton:

The jaw bone structure must be healthy and strong, especially in the area where the patient wants a dental implant.

• General health condition:

The patient must be free of chronic diseases that negatively affect bone health, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer patients, and blood diseases.

• Analysis and CT images:

It is recommended to perform a set of medical tests and CT images to ensure the safety of the peripheral nerves in the mouth and nasal cavities.

• Follow-up and aftercare:

You must adhere to the doctor’s instructions after the operation to maintain the health of the implanted teeth.

• Diabetes and dental implants:

Diabetics may have difficulty healing wounds, so it is preferable to consult a doctor before starting the procedure.
