Dental Implants are tissue-friendly titanium materials placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics; they are small cylindrical materials resembling screws. Both the chewing sensation being closest to normal and the possibility of treatment without interfering with other teeth have made implant-based methods one of the most commonly applied treatment methods in the century we live in. Implants function like tooth roots.
In cases of single tooth loss, it is possible to complete the missing tooth without touching the adjacent healthy teeth, and in cases of multiple tooth loss, it is also possible to make fixed prostheses instead of removable dentures. In cases of complete edentulism, especially in the lower jaw where removable dentures tend to come out constantly, it is possible to stabilize these dentures with implants.

Besides regional suitability, other factors affecting implant placement are as follows;
Smoking, carbon monoxide, and toxic effects can negatively affect the integration of the implant with the bone. It also has adverse effects such as delaying wound healing and reducing blood supply. In this case, if approved by your doctor, implants can be placed by reducing smoking before and after the implant procedure. Note: It is especially recommended that implant patients who smoke quit smoking 15 days before and about 1 month after the treatment.
