Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that replace lost teeth. These implants, usually made of titanium, are placed in the jawbone and prosthetic teeth are mounted on them. Implant screws are used to secure these artificial tooth roots to the jawbone.

Whether or not implant screws are visible depends on how the implant is placed and the person's gum structure. Generally, implant screws are not visible when placed correctly and prosthetic teeth are mounted on them. However, in some cases, some of the screws can be visible due to problems such as gum recession. In this case, it can cause an aesthetic problem and additional treatments may be required.

When aesthetic results are important during implant treatment, dentists often use special techniques and materials to ensure that the implant screws are not visible. This is especially important in the front teeth.

Dental Implants and Implant Screws

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that replace missing teeth. These implants, usually made of biocompatible materials such as titanium, are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Prosthetic teeth (crowns, bridges, or full dentures) are then mounted onto the implant. Implant screws are used to secure these artificial tooth roots to the jawbone and create a support point for the dentures that will be mounted on them.

Visibility of Implant Screws

The visibility of implant screws depends on several factors:

Depth and Angle of Implant Placement: The depth and angle of implant placement into the jawbone can affect the visibility of the screw. Ideally, implants are placed below the gum line so that the screws are not directly visible.

Gum Structure and Health: The gum structure and health of the person is also important. Thick and healthy gums can better hide implant screws. However, if there are problems such as gum recession, some of the screws may become visible over time.

Aesthetic Expectations: Aesthetic expectations are especially high in the front teeth. In implants placed in this area, extra care is taken to ensure that the screws are not visible.

Aesthetic and Functional Solutions

Special Implant Designs: Today, specially designed implants are used to eliminate aesthetic concerns. These implants are designed to be more compatible with the gum line.

Gingival Grafts: In cases of receding gums, gum tissue can be reconstructed through a procedure called a gingival graft. This is important for both aesthetic and health reasons.

Customized Dentures: Dentures placed on implants can also be customized. These dentures mimic the appearance of natural teeth and prevent any metal parts from being visible. For more detailed information about implants, please contact us. contact You can pass.
