Implant Treatment Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
What is Implant Treatment?
Implant treatment is a treatment method performed with dental prostheses made on titanium screws placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants offer the closest alternative to natural tooth roots and provide successful results both aesthetically and functionally.
Who is Implant Treatment Suitable for?
People who have experienced tooth loss
Implant treatment is an ideal solution for people who have experienced tooth loss due to various reasons and who are missing one or more teeth.
Those with Adequate Jawbone Health
In order for the implants to be placed in a healthy way, a sufficient amount of solid jawbone is required.
Those who do not want to use prosthesis
For people who are uncomfortable with removable dentures or want a fixed solution, implants offer the feeling of natural teeth.
People Without Gum Disease
Having healthy gums is important for implant treatment to be successful.
Implant Treatment Process
First Examination & Counseling
The implant treatment process begins with a detailed dental examination and evaluation of the jawbone.
At this stage, your dentist will plan where the implants will be placed and how many implants are required.
Jawbone Preparation
If the jawbone is not strong enough or not in sufficient quantity, a bone grafting procedure may be required.
This procedure makes the jawbone suitable for implant placement.
Implant Placement
Dental implants are placed in the jawbone through a sterile surgical procedure.
This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and the implant is allowed to fuse to the bone for several months.
Abutment Attachment
After the implant fuses with the bone, a connecting piece called an abutment is placed on the gum.
This piece provides the connection between the implant and the prosthesis.
Implant Placement
In the final stage, the prepared denture (crown) is placed on the abutment.
This prosthesis looks like a natural tooth and can be used as a functional tooth.
Advantages of Implant Treatment
Natural Dental Sensation
Implants attach to the jawbone like natural tooth roots and thus give the feeling of natural teeth.
It offers a comfortable chewing and speaking experience.
Long Lasting & Durable
With the right care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
They last much longer than other types of prosthesis.
Aesthetic Appearance
Dental implants offer the closest aesthetics to your natural teeth.
The implants are made in the same color as your teeth and blend perfectly with your gums.
Prevention of Tooth Loss
Dental implants prevent bone resorption that can be caused by tooth gaps.
The jawbone is protected by the implant and the loss of other teeth is prevented.
Care After Implant Treatment
Attention to Oral Hygiene
In order for implants to be long-lasting, attention to oral hygiene is essential.
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and use dental floss.
Be Careful with Food & Drinks
Even though the implants are durable, you should avoid eating very hard foods.
This prevents damage to the implants and dentures
Regular Dental Checkup
After implant treatment, you should visit your dentist regularly and have the health of the implants and surrounding tissues checked.
Cost of Implant Treatment
The cost of implant treatment varies depending on the number of implants, the type of material used and the treatment process.
It is recommended that you do a comprehensive cost analysis with your dentist before treatment.
