Andırın Implant Applications: Expert Treatment for Healthy Chewing Function
What is an Implant? Your Natural Tooth’s Titanium Twin
Implants are biocompatible titanium screws placed in the jawbone to take over the function of a missing tooth root. These titanium screws have a special structure that is not rejected by the body and completely integrates with the bone (osseointegration).
Aesthetic porcelain or zirconium veneers (crowns) that look just like your own tooth are placed on this screw, which acts as a root. The result; It is a solid tooth structure from root to tip that you cannot distinguish from your real tooth in either appearance or chewing sensation.
Why is Healthy Chewing Function So Important?
Many of our patients, when experiencing tooth loss in the back of their mouths, postpone treatment with the thought, “It’s not visible anyway.” However, this situation deeply disrupts the body’s overall system:
- Digestion Begins in the Mouth: When food is sent to the stomach without being sufficiently broken down in the mouth; Chronic digestive system diseases such as reflux, gastritis, indigestion, and bloating become inevitable.
- Shifting of Other Teeth: The healthy teeth next to and opposite (above) the extracted tooth begin to tilt and elongate into the space created. This disrupts your entire jaw closure.
- Nutritional Deficiency: Individuals who cannot chew hard foods (meat, nuts, fresh vegetables and fruits) generally tend to consume soft and carbohydrate-rich foods. This also lays the groundwork for systemic diseases (diabetes, obesity).
