Can a Screw Be Seen in an Implanted Tooth?

Implant treatment is a treatment protocol consisting of two components: the implant body in the bone, and the prosthetic tooth that replaces the missing tooth.

Since the body part of the implant remains completely inside the bone, it cannot be seen with the naked eye in the mouth. The body part of the screw must be completely embedded in the bone and this screw must not be visible in the mouth.

With the help of the parts used in the prosthesis part, cemented restorations fixed with screws or an adhesive can be prepared.

Implant-supported screw-retained restorations

Implant-supported screw-retained restorations increase the strength of the implant and provide an appearance similar to natural teeth. They also eliminate the possibility of adhesive residue and prevent complications that may occur due to adhesive residue around the implant.

When these restorations are finished, there will be a screw hole on them and this hole is closed with filling material. No screws are visible in the mouth.

Cemented Restorations

Cement-retained restorations are a type of implant-supported restorations. Cement is used to secure dentures placed on implants. Cement is a type of adhesive that is placed on implants and holds dentures together. This ensures that the dentures are fixed on the implant and allows the patient to perform their daily activities comfortably.

Cemented restorations play an important role in achieving an aesthetic smile and support the long-term success of implant treatment.

Implant-supported screw and cement-retained restorations are an effective and reliable option for replacing missing teeth. These restorations help restore an aesthetic smile and functional abilities, and enable patients to continue their daily lives comfortably.
