Implants are screws made of titanium that are used in the treatment of missing teeth and placed inside the jawbone. A dental prosthesis is placed on these screws. The advantage of implant treatment over other treatments is that neighboring teeth are not damaged. So the adjacent teeth do not need to be cut. The implant acts as a tooth root and you can eat, talk and laugh like a natural tooth.

​

Who can receive implant treatment?

Implant treatment is applied to individuals over the age of 18 who have completed their chin and face development. Before the treatment, whether the jaw structure is suitable for the implant is determined by x-rays. In diabetic patients, the disease must be regulated before treatment. In those who use blood thinners, the drugs are discontinued before the treatment. Those with osteoporosis can receive implant treatment after receiving appropriate treatment.

 

 

How is implant treatment performed?

Implant treatment is performed by giving the patient a light sedation. Before the procedure, a detailed examination and X-ray are required. The measurement of the jaw bones and the remaining teeth is taken. There are two options for the placement of dental implants. In the one-step procedure, a temporary cap is attached after the implant is placed. In the two-step procedute, after the dental implant is placed, it is covered with the gum and left to heal. Prosthetic heads are then attached. In both cases, a temporary bridge is placed and a healing period of 3 months for the lower jaw and six months for the upper jaw is expected. Sometimes newly made teeth can be placed on dental implants immediately. With the dental implant, the patient can laugh and eat safely.
