Implant Treatment
Dental implants are used as artificial roots in cases where there are no teeth in the mouth or one or more teeth are missing. Thanks to the prostheses supported by dental implants, chewing can be done like your main tooth and much more successful aesthetic results can be obtained. In single tooth deficiencies, healthy teeth can be made without the need for any procedure on neighboring teeth. Implants are made of titanium, a highly durable, advanced technology product that is accepted by body tissues.
They are placed under local anesthesia in an operation that lasts about half an hour. It is aimed to function smoothly in the mouth for a lifetime. Since the surfaces of the implants are specially treated, they form a special bond to the bone and hold mechanically and cellularly. It is ideal to wait between 3-6 months for the bond to form. In recent years, there have been researches on prosthesis making without waiting. In this method called immediatric (immediate) loading, many criteria such as the condition of the tissue, the implant site, the torque force applied during placement, and the laboratory must be fully compatible with each other. Since minimal incompatibilities in these relationships will result in the loss of the implant, it is in the patient’s best interest to fully comply with the waiting periods.
Who can receive implant treatment?
Adults who have completed the puberty (puberty) period Those who do not have diseases affecting the general health status Diabetics, those whose diabetes is controlled and regulated Those who have sufficient bone tissue in the area to be implanted (artificial bone can be used if bone tissue is insufficient) There is no upper age limit for implantation.
Success criteria :
Appropriate Diagnosis and Treatment
Planning Appropriate case and implant selection
Current bone thickness and bone height
Relationship of prostheses made on implants with opposing teeth
Oral hygiene
Sterilization of the room and instruments during the operation
General health status of the patient (diabetes must be under control)
Avoiding alcohol and smoking after the operation.
Regular 3-6 monthly dental check-ups.
