Dental implants are materials that are placed into the jawbone and mimic tooth roots after tooth loss. In modern dentistry, implant-supported restorations are primarily preferred to treat patients’ aesthetic, function, and phonation losses. After the teeth are extracted, the bone surrounding them begins to melt over time; this condition is called resorption. Bone resorption leads to a deterioration in the facial profile, decreased lip and cheek support, increased wrinkles around the mouth, and a decrease in the distance between the nose and the tip of the chin. Therefore, implant placement should be considered to replace extracted teeth in appropriate cases to prevent bone resorption.
Fixed or removable prostheses, which are used to replace missing teeth, replace only the visible part of the lost teeth. However, implant-supported fixed prostheses allow the tooth roots to be placed in the mouth by targeting bone preservation. In this way, the bone forms a strong bond with the implant surfaces and allows them to function like natural teeth. Implant-supported fixed dentures prevent bone resorption by restoring chewing and biting functions. In addition, with the use of dental implants, the teeth adjacent to the lost tooth do not need to be reduced, and the health of the natural teeth is preserved.
