Can Everyone Get an Implant?
Implant treatment has a group of patients who can be performed like any other treatment. This method, which is applied by placing a screw in the jaw bone, should first be applied to people whose jaw bone is intact. It is possible to have an implant in cases where your bone structure is intact and you do not have any serious health problems. If your jaw structure is not intact, it is applied to additional treatments such as strengthening the jawbone with bone powder before the treatment. If you regularly use serious drugs such as sugar and blood pressure and experience certain levels of these diseases, it does not prevent you from having implant treatment. If you have a bone resorption disease, the implant application is performed very sensitively for you. Since it is preferable for all ages, it is a method that we often apply in our clinic. Even if you do not have any teeth in your mouth, you can have a healthy and aesthetic tooth structure thanks to this application.
