What is Implant Treatment?

It is a dental treatment based on filling the gaps caused by tooth loss with titanium implants fixed to the jawbone. The implants act as a tooth root, making the dental prosthesis fixed on it look and function like a natural tooth.

Why Should Implant Treatment Be Preferred?

• No Damage to Neighboring Teeth: There is no need to cut neighboring teeth to fill the missing tooth.
• Aesthetic Appearance: It offers an aesthetic appearance similar to natural teeth.
• Functionality: Fulfills functions such as biting, chewing and speaking.
• Long Lasting: Can be used for a lifetime with proper care.
• Prevents Bone Loss: Prevents bone loss caused by tooth loss.
• Comfortable Use: There are no problems such as slipping and falling.

In which cases is implant treatment suitable?

• No advanced diabetes or heart disease
• Complete bone development
• No pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy
• Lack of heavy smoking
• No use of alcohol, drugs or similar substances
• No radiotherapy to the head and neck region
• No immunodeficiency or use of immunosuppressive drugs

Do I Need an Implant for Every Lost Tooth?

No, it is not. Implants can also be applied for a single tooth. In case of multiple tooth loss, the dentist decides on the number of implants and bridge prosthesis application after the examination.

How is Implant Treatment Performed?

• The mouth area is numbed with local anesthesia.
• According to the results of X-ray or tomography, the appropriate area in the jawbone is determined.
• The implant is placed and fused with the jawbone.
• In one-stage treatment, a temporary cap is applied after the implant is placed.
• In the two-stage treatment, the implant is covered with gum and the healing process is expected for 3-6 months.
• In some cases, dentures can be fitted immediately.

The Recovery Process and Things to Consider

• The recovery process depends on the type of operation, the patient's age and general state of health.
• Cold compress can be applied for swelling and edema.
• The medicines prescribed by your doctor have been used regularly.
• Oral care is of great importance. Oral hygiene should be ensured by using a toothbrush, dental floss and mouthwash.
