What is implant treatment?
Implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone and made to support dentures. Fixed or removable prostheses made on these long-lasting and life-long artificial roots, which are made to replace missing teeth, fulfill the patient's chewing function and aesthetics.
In which cases is implant treatment applied?
In cases where the patient cannot use the full prosthesis as a result of excessive bone resorption in the upper and lower jaws with no teeth, the prosthesis is placed on the implants to increase the retention.
If the posterior region is edentulous in the loss of molars, a fixed bridge can be made on several implants instead of a removable partial denture.
In long edentulous cavities, the fact that the bodies of the bridges are long creates a problem. The support and durability of long bridges can be increased with one or more implants to be applied to the edentulous area.
In case of loss of a single tooth, a single implant can be placed on the missing tooth without the need to reduce the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth and a single crown can be made on it.
How is implant treatment applied?
Implant treatment is applied in sterile conditions by evaluating the general health status of the person. The bone condition of the jaw, the density of the bone, and the oral hygiene of the patient are the factors to be considered. Making millimetric measurements by using computed tomography before the operation increases the success. Local anesthesia is sufficient for implant treatment. The appropriate position for the missing tooth is determined and slots of sufficient length and diameter are created and placed.
How long does the implant treatment?
The opening and placement of the implant's socket takes a short time, such as 5-10 minutes. The time will vary depending on the number of implants. Placement of the implant is the first step. If dissolving stitches that do not need to be removed have been applied, it is sufficient for the patient to allocate one day for implant treatment. After the first stage, the waiting period begins. It takes 2-3 months for the implant to fully integrate with the bone. If Sinus lifting (sinus lift), bone dust due to bone deficiency; If additional procedures such as bone graft placement have been applied, waiting for 4-5 months is required for the success of the implant. As soon as the implant is placed, your doctor gives clearer information about the process. With the help of today's technology, fixed temporary teeth are made on the implants, allowing the patients to spend the waiting period comfortably.
