Nowadays, many people lose their teeth due to decay or gum disease. Although until recently attempts were made to replace missing teeth with full or partial dentures, nothing can replace fixed teeth.
First of all, a very good general health status assessment is made; Uncontrolled diabetes, liver diseases; If there are bleeding and clotting disorders, the patient is not a suitable candidate for implant treatment. At this stage, you need to inform your doctor about all the medications you use. In the intraoral examination, it is decided whether the implant will be placed immediately or after other procedures by looking at the existing teeth, volume, shape and type of gum and bone structure. DVT and standard x-rays are taken to see the volume and structure of the bone structure. Your doctor will inform you if antibiotics, sedatives or other medications are required before the operation.
When everything is OK, the relevant area is anesthetized with local anesthesia, the gum is first opened, and then a titanium screw is placed in the implant slot, which is opened in gradually expanding ages. The gum is closed with stitches and the waiting period begins for approximately 8-12 weeks. The stitches will be removed by your doctor at the recommended time.
During the waiting period, the fusion of the implant screw and the jawbone is completed and the measurement and tooth placement phase begins. So, there are two stages in standard practice; The first is the placement of the implant screw and the other is the construction of the teeth.
Yes; everything is ok, implant placed; A tooth was made on it. Is everything finished? of course not. Now is the time for careful oral care; Brushing twice a day, using dental floss and continuing to visit the dentist every six months.
Enjoy your new tooth.
