Dental Implants

Dental Implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium or titanium compounds, to complete missing teeth in the mouth.

Titanium is preferred because it does not interact with body tissues and is a material resistant to forces. Implants can be placed in the cavities created by previously lost teeth or in the tooth socket immediately after extraction if there is no serious infection.

Implants are also placed in the jawbone with a simple operation in cases where the bone is sufficient and suitable for the purpose of making fixed prostheses or removable prostheses. If the amount and density of bone is not at the desired level, bone formation procedures may be required before implant application.

What is done in the first examination

The purpose of the first examination is to determine whether the area where you have missing teeth is suitable for implantation. After detailed information about your systemic health, your oral examination is performed. By taking panoramic radiography or three-dimensional images (tomography) from the relevant regions, modeling is done and your suitability for the implant and what type of implant will be applied are decided.

How is implant Treatment Done, What Processes Does It Include?

Implant application is a very simple and painless application. First, the area is anesthetized with local anesthesia, a slot is prepared in the bone where the implant will be placed, and the implant is placed. After the implant is placed, the screws that will remain on the implant during the healing period are placed and the recovery period is expected.
In order for dental implants to remain healthy against the pressures caused by chewing, it is necessary to fully fuse with the jawbone. This period varies according to the type of operation, region, age and health status of the patient. After the operation, a period of at least 1 to 3 months is required for the construction of permanent prostheses. In bone deficiency, the waiting period may be a little longer for implants made to newly formed areas. Afterwards, measurements are taken and the planned prosthesis is made.
