What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium artificial tooth root surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Unlike conventional fixed bridges, dental implants do not require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth and help preserve jawbone volume through natural functional stimulation.
At Private LumaDent Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic in Cigli, Izmir, every implant treatment begins with a comprehensive intraoral examination, panoramic X-ray evaluation, and a personalized surgical and prosthetic protocol.
