Implant Treatment
What is an implant?
Dental deficiencies have a significant negative impact on both aesthetics and health in human life. Over time, tooth gaps can lead to increased aesthetic problems as other teeth shift towards the gaps, followed by weakened chewing function and digestive problems. To address these issues, implants, dentures, and bridges can be chosen as solutions. However, bridges and dentures can cause pressure on the gum tissue and jawbone, leading to jawbone resorption over time. Instead, implants, which provide a more permanent and healthier solution, can be preferred. Implants are made of titanium alloy, biocompatible materials that completely harmonize with the gum tissue.

How Is Implant Made?
- A detailed intraoral examination is conducted along with X-rays and/or tomography.
- After bone measurements are taken with radiography, implants and prosthetics are planned to fit the patient’s oral structure.
- Prior to implants, necessary treatments such as dental cleaning, gum treatments, fillings, and root canal therapy may be performed as deemed necessary by the dentist.
- An appropriate implant is selected for the missing tooth area, and the procedure is planned accordingly.
- During the implant procedure, the area to receive the implant is numbed with local anesthesia.
- Gum tissues are opened to expose the bone area.
- Surgical holes are drilled into the bone for the placement of the implants.
- Placement procedures are completed for each implant in an average procedure time of 20 minutes.
- Sutures are placed in the areas where the implants are inserted.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Implant
X-rays and/or tomography are taken to measure the patient's bone structure and determine the suitability for implant placement. Based on this evaluation, the appropriate type of implant is selected, and a treatment plan is created. The patient is prepared for the procedure under local anesthesia, and the implant placement process is carried out. After an average healing period of 90 days, the procedures are completed, and the final restoration prosthetics are placed.
Implant treatment may be one of the most suitable options in case of missing or no teeth.
Dental implant treatment typically takes between 3 to 4 months, excluding additional treatments. After the first procedure in which the implants are placed in the jawbone, the patient waits an average of 90 days for the implants to boil into the jawbone. In the next process, coatings are placed on the implants and the process is completed.
The average healing time of a dental implant is 90 days.
You can drink water 2 hours after dental implant treatment.
Dental implant treatment in all seasons; can be applied without any difference.
By filling the gaps caused by missing teeth, the patient's dental arch is restored, preventing neighboring teeth from freely shifting into the empty space. With improved chewing function, the patient is relieved from associated digestive problems and achieves an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
After a dental implant treatment applied with the right techniques, there is no bad breath.
A check-up should be done 1 week after the dental implant treatment is completed. However, 6-month routine controls should not be neglected.
In order to determine the suitability of the dental implant, x-ray and / or tomography are taken and bone levels are measured. If the patient is suitable for implant treatment, implant types are determined and planning is made.
After tooth loss, the bone level in the area where the missing teeth are located decreases over time. If this area is not strengthened, the bone level may weaken considerably and implant treatment may become impossible over time.
Thanks to the local anesthetics used during dental implant treatment, no pain is felt.
Soft foods can be consumed 2 hours after the implant treatment.
In order to determine the suitability of dental implant treatment for a patient, bone levels should be measured by radiography. Implant treatment can be applied to patients with adequate bone levels.
Dental implant treatment cannot be applied to patients whose dentin levels are not sufficient at the end of the radiography.
When the dental implant treatment is performed by the dentist by providing the necessary medical conditions, there is no risk.
The permanence of the dental implant is lifelong.
If appropriate medical conditions are provided by the dentist in dental implant treatments, the success rate is very high.
