Nowadays, we frequently use dental implants in prosthetic treatment after tooth loss. An implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Implants are mostly produced from titanium material. After the implants are fully fused with the bone, the prosthetic phase begins and your treatment is completed. The type of prosthesis closest to nature in terms of appearance and chewing sensation is implant-supported prostheses.
Can implants be used in every missing tooth and in every patient?
If there is an appropriate amount of bone for the placement of implants and the general health condition of the patients If it is good, the implant can be applied for a single tooth or for multiple missing teeth. In our patients with bone and soft tissue deficiency, a suitable ground for the implant is created by using bone augmentation and soft tissue shaping methods. If there is no problem in the health of patients who want to have an implant, there is no age limit for having an implant. However, in patients in the growth and development period, the patient must have completed bone development.
How is life with an implant?
Implant is a safe treatment method. If the properly selected implants are made in accordance with the rules in the appropriate case and the patient pays the necessary attention to oral hygiene, the implants can remain in the mouth for a very long time without causing any problems.
How is the implant placed?
Local application applied before the implant. or you will not feel any pain thanks to general anesthesia. Implant operations are usually performed with local anesthesia. Implant treatment can also be performed with general anesthesia and sedation in patients who are reluctant to use local anesthesia or have an excessive gag reflex. Most of the time, it is even a simpler operation than tooth extraction. After the procedure, there may be a pain similar to the pain felt in the one or two days after tooth extraction. This pain, which can usually be felt the evening the implant is placed, can be relieved by using a simple medicine.
How long is the total treatment time?
Implant treatment is done in two stages. Although the first stage, placement of implants, varies depending on the patient's bone structure and general condition, it generally takes 10 minutes for one implant. r is the process. In the second stage, the prosthesis stage, the implants must be fully integrated with the bone (osteointegration). This period is approximately 2-3 months. This time is also the total treatment time. During this period, the loads on the implants should be minimized. During this healing process, a temporary prosthesis can be made, provided that there is no excessive load on the implants.
