Implant Treatment

What is Implant Treatment?

Implant treatment is an effective method used to permanently treat missing teeth. Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth and offer the closest solution to natural teeth. Implant treatment reconstructs the patient’s oral structure, improving aesthetic appearance and restoring chewing function.

What is an Implant?

A dental implant is a screw-like device made of titanium or titanium alloy. This implant is inserted into the jawbone of the missing tooth and replaces the natural tooth root. The prosthetic tooth that is placed over it is mounted on top of the implant and provides an aesthetic that is in harmony with the jawline.

What are the Steps of Implant Treatment?

The steps of implant treatment are as follows:

  • Examination and Planning: Before the implant treatment begins, the dentist takes the patient’s history, performs an oral and dental examination, takes x-rays and determines the treatment plan.
  • Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and in most cases sedation or general anesthesia is used to ensure the patient’s comfort.
  • Healing Process: Once the implant is placed, the jawbone begins to surround the implant and the implant integrates with the jawbone (osteointegration). This process usually takes several months and ensures that the implant is firmly joined to the bone.
  • Implant Placement: After healing is complete, the prosthetic tooth is placed on the implant. The prosthesis is screwed or glued onto the implant and provides an aesthetic that is compatible with natural teeth.

Who is Suitable for Implant Treatment?

Implant treatment is generally suitable for adults with a strong jawbone structure and good oral hygiene. People with missing teeth who are not suitable for other treatment options may benefit from implant treatment. However, every patient situation is different and it is important to consult a dentist to determine the suitability for implant treatment.

What are the Advantages of Implant Treatment?

  • Provides a permanent solution.
  • It offers the closest solution to natural teeth.
  • Does not damage other teeth and does not require cutting neighboring teeth.
  • Improves chewing function and increases speech ability.
  • Improves aesthetic appearance and increases self-confidence.

How Should Implant Care Be?

The answer to the question of how to care for an implant is to maintain regular and effective oral hygiene after treatment. This includes brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups. Good oral hygiene ensures the long-term success of the implant.

In conclusion, implant treatment is an effective and reliable method to permanently treat missing teeth. When properly planned and maintained, implants offer the closest solution to natural teeth and provide the patient with long-term oral health.

Will I feel pain during the implant operation?

For a painless intervention, the local anesthesia we use during tooth extraction is sufficient. The painkillers we will give you are enough to make you comfortable after the operation. Most of our patients talk about less discomfort than during tooth extraction.

When can your prosthesis be made after the implants are placed?

For the implants to fuse with the bone after placement (osteointegration), a bone healing period ranging from 3 to 6 months is required, depending on the patient’s age, bone quality and systemic condition, unless advanced procedures have been performed. There are many factors that determine the timing of the prosthesis on the implant. Your dentist will determine the right timing after a detailed evaluation, taking into account your expectations.
