Dental Implants in Vanak, Tehran

A dental implant is the most reliable and durable way to replace missing teeth. In this procedure a titanium post is placed in the jawbone in place of the tooth root and, once it has fused with the bone, a natural, fixed crown is fitted on top. At the practice of Dr. Zahra Sadat Shamekhi, a DHA-licensed general dentist practising since 2013 in Vanak, Tehran, implant placement is carried out with precise imaging and full adherence to surgical principles.

Unlike removable dentures, an implant is firm and fixed like a natural tooth, does not damage the neighbouring teeth and prevents jawbone loss. Below you will learn about implants, their benefits, the placement steps and the aftercare they require.

What is a dental implant?

An implant is a cylindrical titanium post that is placed in the jawbone as an artificial root. Titanium is highly biocompatible and, through a process called "osseointegration", fuses with the bone. A component called an abutment is then fitted onto the post and a custom crown is placed on top, rebuilding a tooth that is completely natural in both appearance and function.

The parts of a dental implant

• Fixture (titanium post): the artificial root that is placed in the jawbone.
• Abutment: the connector between the fixture and the crown, which is fitted onto the post.
• Crown: the visible, natural part of the tooth that sits on the abutment.

Benefits of dental implants

In addition to restoring your smile, an implant also restores your chewing function and confidence. Its most important benefits include:

• Very high durability, with the post able to last a lifetime
• Prevention of jawbone loss and shrinkage
• No need to reduce the healthy neighbouring teeth
• The look, feel and function of a natural tooth
