Implants are screws made of titanium that are used in the treatment of missing teeth and placed into the jawbone. A dental prosthesis is placed on these screws. The advantage of implant treatment over other treatments is that neighbouring teeth are not damaged. In other words, neighbouring teeth do not have to be cut. The implant tooth acts as a root and you can easily eat, talk and laugh like a natural tooth. Dental implant surgery also includes a surgical process that replaces tooth roots with metal, screw-like posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real teeth. A dental implant can offer a pleasant alternative to ill-fitting dentures or bridges and is therefore more preferable to methods such as traditional bridges.
In which cases is implant applied?
Dental implants are generally used to replace or support missing teeth. Dental implant can be applied in the following cases:
Single tooth deficiency: If the bone in the area where the implant will be placed is sufficient, the implant can be used to replace the missing tooth by placing a tooth crown on the implant.
Complete or partial edentulism: If more than one tooth is missing, fixed or removable prostheses can be made using implants. Fixed prostheses are fixed by screwing into the implants and are more comfortable and useful than removable prostheses.
Jaw and facial defects: In the treatment of defects in the jaw and facial area, aesthetic appearance can be achieved by using implants.
Melted jawbone problem: Lack of teeth can cause melting in the jawbone over time. If the jawbone has melted, bone grafting may be required before implant treatment.
Patients who do not prefer removable prosthesis: Implant is an ideal option for patients who do not prefer removable prosthesis. It is more comfortable and convenient than removable prostheses.
What are the details of dental implant surgery?
1.Patient Consultation: The first examination, which is the initial stage of implant treatment, determines whether the patient is compatible with this treatment. Our physicians examine the inside of the mouth in detail. A detailed examination of the gums, upper and lower jaw, the condition of the teeth and their suitability for the implant is performed.
2. Pre-Surgery: All details such as how many implants will be used,Determining whether bone powder needs to be used to strengthen bones the structure of the implants, the type of dental prosthesis to be made on it are planned. Our physicians detail this planning by taking an image of the jaw with three-dimensional tomography.
2.Anesthesia: Dental implant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia preference.
3. Implant placement: A small titanium post called a dental implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. This acts as a replacement for the tooth root. The implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
4. Abutment Attachment: Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment extends above the gum line and provides support for the replacement tooth.
5. Crown placement: The final step is to attach an artificial tooth, called a crown, to the abutment. The crown is made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, providing a functional and aesthetic replacement.
6. Things to do after implant surgery process: At this stage, the patient should actively participate in the healing process and avoid negative behaviours that may interfere with the healing process. Once the healing period is complete, attention to oral and dental hygiene will help to ensure that the dental implants are used in a healthy way for a lifetime.
How many times should I come to Turkey during the treatment process?
During the dental implant surgery process, it is necessary to come to Turkey at least 2, optionally 3 times in order to complete the treatment process with the most optimal benefit.
