Implantology

It is the completion of tooth loss with implants that can imitate the tooth root, which is made of tissue-friendly titanium. The implant is chemically bonded to the bone tissue. Implants, which provide an appearance and function close to natural teeth, also protect the bone tissue and ensure the continuity of oral health by providing function.

Implants are applied for patients who have lost all their natural teeth in case of single tooth deficiencies, to gain function in patients who have lost their posterior teeth on one or both sides, to increase the retention of removable dentures, to prevent bridges from cutting healthy teeth in case of multiple tooth loss or single tooth loss, or for patients who have lost all their natural teeth.

Clinical and radiographic examinations of the patient who is planned to be implanted are performed. As a result of these examinations, the type, diameter and length of the implant to be applied, and then the type of prosthesis is decided. Accordingly, the duration of treatment varies according to different implant and prosthesis types. The process of fusing the implants to the bone, which is called the treatment process, differs from person to person or according to the applied area. It also varies according to the surgical technique (such as bone powder applications) to be applied to the area. You can get the most accurate information about the duration from your physician who performed your oral and x-ray examination.

Implants are now considered to be as long-lasting as teeth. It has been observed that the implants remain problem-free for a lifetime, but there are many factors that affect the life of the implants. The first of these is how important the patient's oral hygiene is. The patient's diet and smoking status are other main factors affecting the success of the implant.

Contrary to fear, implant treatment is now very practical and done in a very short time. The area is anesthetized with local anesthesia and the procedure is completed without our patients feeling the slightest pain, but it is possible to have your implant treatment with sedation or general anesthesia for nausea or unpreventable phobias.
