Implant Treatment

What is Dental Implant Treatment?

Implant application is one of the best alternatives when it is necessary to replace teeth that have been lost for various reasons in the mouth. The implant to replace the missing tooth or teeth can be defined as a cylindrical and twenty artificial tooth root made of titanium material. The implant is placed into the jawbone under the gum in the mouth. Implant application, which is a surgical procedure, has been successfully applied in dentistry for a long time.

When is an implant used?

Implant applications result in success both in the absence of a single tooth and in the absence of more than one. Contrary to popular belief, the success rate of implants is not low. Implant surgery is not a difficult procedure. The important thing here is to choose the right physician and put the right indication. As a patient, the first thing to do should not be to investigate the price of the implant or how many implants should be done.

How to Decide on Implant Application?

Your dentist should give you detailed information about whether the treatment you need will be done with an implant or another method (dental bridge, denture, glass fiber application).

What kind of dental clinic should you have implants in?

After determining your need, we need to question the standards of the dental clinic that will apply implants to you. Surgical procedures must be performed in a sterile environment with error-free devices. It should be your priority that the physician who will apply the implant is adequately trained and experienced in this field. After this stage, you should listen carefully to what your doctor will tell you and get detailed information by asking about the parts that are not understood.

What should be considered before implant treatment?

Before the implant application, the reason why the teeth you lost were lost, the current bone condition in the mouth and the general condition of the mouth are of great importance. If the remaining teeth have decay or periodontal problems, it also affects the long-term success of the implant. If there are infectious works, they must be treated, and decayed teeth must be filled or canalized. Following the treatment of gum disease, implant application should be performed. Implantation with infected gums is an important issue that can cause the implant to be lost in the short term.

Implant Dental Treatment Plan

A good planning before the implant application eliminates the situations that may cause problems. In the presence of problems such as teeth grinding or uncontrollable diabetes, there will be problems in implant application. The dentist will advise you with his/her knowledge and experience on issues such as how many and in which area the implant will be placed and the distribution of the loads on it. Different clinics may offer different implant treatment plans. We recommend that you get information about these differences from the physician and completely clear your mind before the implant treatment. In the treatment plan, not only the number and location of the implants to be applied are important. Apart from this, the condition of the remaining teeth in the mouth, what kind of treatment will be applied to them and their compatibility with the bridge or prostheses to be applied over the implant are also of great importance. Sometimes even the presence of only aesthetic PROBLEMS in the mouth may require intervention to other teeth. The treatment plan should be made according to the desired level of aesthetic function and speech sounds.

Jaw Bone Structure is Important for Implant

Implant construction is almost the opposite of tooth extraction. In other words, instead of removing the tooth from the bone, it is the process of putting an artificial tooth root into the bone. After local anesthesia is applied, the gum is gently lifted in the numb area and the bone underneath is reached. This area should be of sufficient width and height. In cases where there is not enough bone, sometimes bone augmentation and sometimes auxiliary applications such as bone powder can be performed.

How is Implant Tooth Application Performed in Single Tooth Deficiency?

It is a current treatment method applied by placing an implant screw into the bone in the area where the gap is located without any abrasion to the teeth in front and behind the missing tooth area and making a single coating on it. They are successfully applied as an alternative to dental bridges. In order to apply an implant in single tooth deficiency, there must be sufficient space in that area and there must be a bone compatible with the diameter and length of the implant screw.

How is a Bridge Over Implant Application Performed in Multiple Tooth Loss?

In dentistry, the implant allows for fixed bridge restorations in the area of lost teeth. It is a method that saves the patient from removable prostheses, especially in toothless mouths with free ends. Two implants should be applied in cases where two teeth are missing, as well as one implant is applied in one missing tooth. In the area where 3 teeth are missing, it is possible to place two implants and three hadi dental crowns on it. Depending on the characteristics of the cavity in the mouth and the implant placed, it is also possible in some cases to place two implants and four teeth on four missing teeth.

In cases where the number of missing teeth is high, with a careful treatment plan, dental bridges and veneers can be applied on two or more implants and fixed dental crowns and bridges that provide chewing function almost like your natural teeth can be used.

How is an implant performed in case of loss of all teeth?

In cases where there are no teeth in the mouth, fixed dental bridges can be made if there is sufficient bone volume, but when there is not enough space for implants, four implants in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw are applied and removable removable dentures are applied on them. Since implants provide support and retention to the prosthesis, the use of implant prostheses is extremely comfortable compared to the use of classical dental prostheses.

After the preliminary preparation for the implant, such as x-rays and tomography, and the treatment planning phase is completed, the patient is taken to the room where the implant will be made by the physician who will perform the surgical procedure during the second visit to the clinic. It is checked whether the patient has any questions about the procedure and whether he/she understands the treatment plan correctly.

Then, just like the regional anesthesia applied in tooth extraction, anesthesia is applied inside the mouth, so that no pain or discomfort is felt during the implant procedure. The implants are placed in the pre-planned areas and the healing period begins. After the implants are placed in the jawbone, it is usually waited for two months for the lower jaw and three months for the upper jaw. This period may be shorter or less depending on the characteristics of the implant area. During the healing period, healing caps are placed on the implant during the patient’s clinic visit at the following time. It takes about a week for the healing caps to be attached and for the gums to heal. After this time, the impression of the prosthesis or bridge to be made on the implant can be taken from inside the mouth. The application period of the prosthesis is usually 1 -2 weeks. After the tooth-like prosthesis is attached to the implant, the patient can now chew like his/her own teeth and has teeth that look like his/her own teeth and can speak comfortably.
