X-rays or tomographies taken from the patient before the procedure are performed. After the size and quality of the implant are determined, the position and dimensions of the implant are calculated and the implant is placed in the most suitable area. Although in some cases the implant is placed in the same session as the tooth extraction, generally after the tooth extraction, a waiting period of 2 months is required for the extraction site to heal. After the implant is applied, There are also certain criteria for the placement of the tooth. In standard applications, there is an average of 3 months in the lower jaw and an average of 4 months in the upper jaw for the implant to fuse with the bone. However, in some cases, if all conditions are met, the implant can be loaded immediately. In cases that need to be waited, the patient Temporary teeth are placed to prevent this period from being toothless. At the end of this period, porcelain teeth are placed on the implants. While there is no pain during the procedure, you will be able to spend the postoperative period in the most comfortable way with your doctor's recommendations and prescribed medications after the procedure.
