Regular dentist visits are important for oral and dental health. Thus, you can treat tooth decays that you did not notice early and get rid of tooth loss with the necessary intervention.
Detailed x-ray images provide information about the condition of the caries. If the level of caries is very severe, the tooth must be extracted. In this case, implant treatment is a good option. Implant is known as the most effective treatment method for tooth loss. An artificial tooth root is created by mounting a screw, usually made of titanium, into the socket where tooth loss occurs.
After a strong tooth root is created artificially, it remains to place the prosthesis that will form the crown of the tooth. It is necessary to wait a few months for the screw to settle and integrate with the bone tissue. The success of this procedure is followed by your doctor with regular check-up appointments. If no problems are observed, a stylish and durable prosthesis is placed on the screw.
If the tooth decay is mild to moderate, it is usually possible to save the tooth with dental fillings. How is the filling process done? First, the tooth decay is cleaned. This process results in the loss of a certain amount of tooth structure. The partial loss of the tooth is removed by the filling material. Thus, the functional and aesthetic function of the tooth is preserved.
