Implant tooth application, which is often preferred in recent years, is the application of placing screws into the jawbone instead of the teeth that are missing in the mouth for different reasons. Implants made of titanium and capable of lasting for many years ensure that missing teeth are completed by placing bridges or crowns on them. In addition to the fact that titanium element does not cause any harm to the human body, the fact that it has the ability to integrate with the body in a short time makes the implant application risk-free.
How is Dental Implant Applied?
After the first examination of our patients, three-dimensional radiographic images are taken to determine whether the jaw structure is suitable for the implant. After the millimetric measurements we make on the obtained images, it is determined which length and diameter the implant to be applied to our patient will be. Our patients who want to have an implant but are worried about whether the implant will hurt should know that the area to be treated is anesthetized with local anesthesia in order to ensure that the implant application can be performed completely painlessly and painlessly.
In the final stage, the slots are opened at the determined points and the implants are placed. After the implant placement process, which is meticulously performed by our specialist dentists in a completely sterile clinical environment, the stitches are removed and the area is protected against external effects. Approximately 1 week after implant placement, stitches are removed after re-examination.
Implant dental treatment is a procedure that requires surgical procedure and requires extraordinary meticulousness. For this reason, it is of great importance to be performed by surgeons specialized in the field of dentistry in order to avoid greater problems in the coming years.
How Long Does Implant Application Last?
The duration of implant application may vary according to the structure of the patient’s jawbone and the number of teeth to be applied. Another factor is the knowledge and skill of the physician who will perform the implant application. Our patients who have implant treatment in our clinic are given local anesthesia and made ready for the operation. The duration of implant application by our specialist physicians varies between 45 minutes and a few hours. After the implant is inserted, the fusion time of the jawbone and the implant covers a period of about 2 to 4 months. After all these stages are over, the process is completely terminated by placing prostheses on the implants in a few sessions.
The adaptation of dental implants to the patient’s body is closely related to the structure of the person and may vary from person to person. While implants applied to the upper jaw generally require a period of 3 months, the fusion of bone and implant occurs in a period of 2 months in implants made to the lower jaw. However, due to the jaw and bone structure, the adaptation period may cover longer periods in the procedures where additional surgical procedures will be required.
What are the Benefits of Using Implant Teeth?
Our patients who apply to our clinic in order to have a healthier tooth structure and to obtain an aesthetic appearance can make different demands including single dental implant. Implants, which make a positive contribution to facial aesthetics by completing the missing teeth, facilitate the chewing function and make important contributions to nutrition and digestion.
Situations Where Implant Application is Objectionable
Although there is no harm in terms of implant application in the majority of our patients, implant is not recommended in some special cases.
- Patients whose diabetes (diabetes) cannot be controlled,
- Individuals with blood clotting problems
- Advanced heart conditions
- The anatomical structure of the jawbone is not suitable for implant,
- Rheumatic diseases are among the conditions that are not suitable for implant treatment.
In the preliminary examination of all our patients who visit our clinic and request implant application, the history of the disease and whether they suffer from any health problems instantly are meticulously examined. It is recommended to end the use of smoking in order to use the implants for many years without any problems. Because research has proven that implants made to smokers fall off in shorter periods of time than others.
Who Can Get an Implant?
The most important criterion in implant treatment is whether the patient has completed bone development. Implant treatment can be applied to anyone whose growth and jaw development have been completed and who does not have any problems in general health. While bone development in women occurs at the age of 15-16 years, jaw bone becomes suitable for implant construction after the age of 17-18 in men. Since it does not cause any harm to the body and has the ability to provide integrity with tissues, the application of implants to patients of advanced age does not pose any risk. In this context, there is no upper age limit in implant application.
Implant Prices
Implant prices vary in 2022 according to the number of teeth to be implanted and the material to be used, as in previous years. After the first examination in our clinic, the implant brand to be applied and how many implants will be required are determined and the price is created.
