Dental implants consist of a titanium screw, abutment and prosthetic parts. The titanium screw remains in the jawbone and takes over the function of the tooth root, creating the best alternative to natural tooth roots. The prosthetic abutment, called abutment, connects to the titanium screw in the bone, allowing the restoration and titanium screw to be joined. Implant treatment can be safely applied in single tooth deficiencies, multiple tooth deficiencies and total tooth deficiencies where there is not even a single tooth in the mouth. Thanks to implants, it is possible to provide function and aesthetics without damaging the natural teeth in the mouth.

In which cases can implants be used?

It should not be forgotten that your teeth are an organ that affects not only our chewing but also our speech, appearance and even our personal charisma.

Implants can be applied in cases of single tooth loss, multiple tooth loss and complete edentulism.

Who can receive implants?

  • Has a normal wound healing capacity,
  • Good oral hygiene Sufficient or potentially healthy bone structure that can be increased to a sufficient amount,
  • Anyone who does not have systemic diseases (diabetes, advanced osteoporosis, etc.) that would be unfavorable for implantation can be implanted.

What are the advantages of an implant?

Implants are robust, comfortable and reliable. Prostheses made on implants create the most natural structure while replacing real teeth. In the process of completing missing teeth, healthy teeth are not touched. Of course, it is a very important advantage that our healthy teeth are not cut in order to make prosthesis. In addition, implants are much longer lasting than other prosthesis options.

Implant treatment will be the first alternative that will come to mind, especially in our patients who have lost the chance to use fixed prostheses due to tooth deficiencies or in our patients who complain that their total prostheses are not fixed in their mouths due to bone resorption.

Because the prolonged human life span due to the development of living standards has made many of us demand a certain comfort of life in advanced ages. Again, using removable (removable) prostheses from a young age is not something that any of us would desire. At this point, implants offer us a great treatment alternative.

The effects of tooth loss will be psychological as well as physiological. Implants, as a special application that replaces the natural tooth, offers a definitive and healthy solution to the physiological and psychological problems caused by tooth loss or congenital tooth deficiencies.

What is Oral Implantology?

Implants are plates, screws and nails made of titanium, which are placed in the place of lost teeth for the purpose of treatment and do not have any side effects for the organism and can function like a natural tooth after completing the combination with bone tissue.

The tooth made on the implant looks like your natural tooth and performs naturally.

Implant is an application that goes back as far as human history. In various periods of history, people have seen it as a solution to mount parts that will serve as teeth on the jawbone.

Today, the most commonly used metal as implant material is titanium. Titanium is a metal with excellent tissue compatibility and has been used safely in many fields of medicine for centuries.

Titanium, which is shaped as a root, cylinder or screw, is ready for use as a dental implant after undergoing a number of special processes (special design pickling, laser roughening, etc.). These processes determine the quality of the implant.

As a result of tooth loss or trauma, physiologically occurring bone resorption causes a decrease in the level and volume of the jawbone. This prevents the prosthesis to be applied from fully fulfilling its function. As a result, there are problems with chewing and speaking.

What are our treatment goals?

  • To eliminate all kinds of edentulism and missing functions with implants and implant prostheses supported by them.
  • Elimination of single tooth deficiency without touching neighboring healthy teeth
  • The elimination of multiple missing teeth by making fixed bridges with the help of implants instead of removable prostheses.
  • In case of complete edentulism, it is not possible to make fixed prostheses instead of removable prostheses (palate).
  • Can implants be applied at any age?
  • Yes. Only in young people, bone development must be completed. This takes place until the age of 16-17 for girls and 18 for boys.
  • There is no upper age limit for adults. It can be applied to people of any age who are in good general health. Elderly people need dental implants more because they lose more teeth and their jaw bones erode.

Are all dental implants successful?

Successful implants require good general health, i.e. sufficient “healing potential”, a correct diagnosis and proper cleaning and maintenance of the implant. In addition, the physician must have performed appropriate surgery and a suitable prosthesis. In addition, excessive smoking and/or excessive alcohol consumption will negatively affect success. Depending on the above factors

 

How long do implants last?

The first patients have been using their implants successfully for more than thirty years. This duration depends on several variables, such as the general state of health, daily care and cleaning of the implant. Nevertheless, as with any other medical intervention, in principle, a lifetime guarantee of implant success can range from 90-100%.

When the implant is not possible;

Some physical conditions or disabilities may make implantation impossible. These are

  1. Severe osteoporosis
  2. Significant heart conditions
  3. Blood clotting problems
  4. Rheumatic diseases
  5. Overindulgence and similar conditions
  6. In patients with diabetes (diabetes); in cases where diabetes is not under control and diabetes does not progress regularly
  7. Inappropriate, inadequate or anatomically risky bone structure in the jaw
  8. The patient is not predisposed to surgical procedures (excessive fear, anxiety)
  9. The patient’s financial situation is not good (It is an expensive procedure)
  10. In cases where the patient is unable to maintain complete oral hygiene (oral cleanliness) after the implant.

What if the treatment fails?

The implant can be removed with a very simple procedure and the site will heal spontaneously.

Are implants rejected by the body?

Implants are mostly made of biocompatible materials called titanium. Since titanium is not a living substance, it does not create an antigen-antibody reaction as in heart and kidney transplants. Therefore, “tissue rejection” cannot be mentioned.

Is there a risk of cancer?

In the world of medicine and dentistry, there is not a single example of dental implants causing cancer.

Are dental implants applied for cosmetic reasons?

The main application area of dental implants is the elimination of tooth deficiency. Cosmetic improvements can also be achieved while eliminating tooth deficiency.

Can a guarantee be given?

Scientific studies have shown that implant success varies between 90-100%. However, as with any medical intervention, it is not possible to give a guarantee for implants. However, in our clinic, the necessary conditions are meticulously put together to increase the success of the treatment.

What are our main criteria that determine our treatment success?

First of all, case selection, i.e. setting the right indication, is the first condition for treatment success.

  • Correct prosthetic planning
  • Suitability of clinical conditions (availability of necessary surgical materials and sterilization conditions)
  • Demonstration of adequate surgical skill
  • Preferring implant brands with proven clinical reliability based on years and a large number of cases.
  • And maintaining the same care and skill in the superstructure (implant prosthesis).
  • These are our basic criteria that keep our treatment success high.

Is an implant an expensive treatment?

Implant applications require a series of complex and long-term procedures. Therefore, they also require a higher expenditure than routine dental services. In a study conducted on patients who have completed implant treatments, patients stated that they received a return on their investment and that they would have the same thing done again if necessary.

Will I have any discomfort during and after the operation?

The operation can be performed under local anesthesia and sedation without any pain or discomfort. General anesthesia can also be applied if necessary. After the operation, there may be a slight pain or swelling that can be felt after any tooth extraction. These can be easily relieved with painkillers and necessary precautions.

How long does it take to complete the placement operation and prosthesis?

The duration of the surgery can vary from half an hour to several hours, depending on the number of implants to be placed and the patient’s conditions. After the operation, the implant and bone are allowed to fuse (osseointegration) for 3-6 months. Then, prostheses are placed on these implants with an application that takes several sessions.

Another option is active surface implants, which can be applied at a small cost difference. These new types of implants, which reduce the osseointegration time to 2 weeks and therefore allow for prosthesis construction in much shorter periods of time, may also be preferred depending on the time constraints of our patients.

In cases where some favorable conditions can be met, prosthesis can be made without waiting at all.

These prostheses, in which all the possibilities of modern dentistry are used , are engineering marvels.
