Since anesthesia will be applied during the treatment process, the patient will not feel any pain, and the mild pain that occurs after the application is controlled with painkillers given under the supervision of the physician.
What Processes Does Implant Treatment Include?
Examination Phase
Before starting the surgical intervention, the physician must of course check whether the patient is suitable for this treatment. The patient who decides on treatment meets with the physician, who examines the oral structure with the help of x-ray and tomography for bone tissue details and draws up a treatment plan accordingly.
In order to implement the treatment plan, the patient's health condition must be checked. For example, implant treatment cannot be performed on diabetic patients, pregnant women, people with heart disease and high blood pressure. Accordingly, examining the patient's health condition will be the most important step to be taken before starting the treatment process.
Surgical Stage
First of all, the area to be treated will be administered under local anesthesia - general anesthesia depending on the agreement of the patient and the doctor. It can also be applied. - It is anesthetized. Implants, that is, titanium screws, which can also be considered artificial tooth roots and can be used for a long time, are placed in the jawbone to support the prostheses to be installed afterwards. It takes a maximum of 10-15 minutes to install each implant. The placed implants must first adhere to the jawbone because they must fuse and match with the jawbone in order to replace the real tooth root. This period may vary depending on the bone structure, but generally it has a waiting period of 3 to 6 months. During this period, the implants become ready to support the prostheses to be placed on them and are ready for the final stage of the process. According to some physicians, if the patient has a very strong bone structure, there is no need for a waiting period and tooth placement can be done immediately. This of course minimizes the recovery process and means having the chance to save time. After the implants are made and the waiting period is over, that is, after the implant reaches the strength to lift the prosthetic tooth, a permanent prosthesis is applied and the treatment is completed. It is necessary to have a strong jaw bone structure and healthy gums. Patients who do not have these factors should not lose hope because with today's technology, "additional bone surgery" is also possible.
What is additional bone surgery?
Increasing the thickness and height of the bone by supplementing bone powder with local anesthesia for the bone structure that is not of sufficient strength and size in implant treatment. It is necessary to wait approximately 6 months for the placed bone powder to replace the patient's bone and become strong enough for implant support.
