Dental implant


Implant, popularly known as nail, screw; is known as an artificial tooth root made of titanium material. In dental implant applications, artificial tooth roots made of a material compatible with body tissues such as titanium are placed in the jawbone with a small surgical procedure in a sterile environment. Dental implant applications are generally preferred in the presence of missing teeth that impair tooth and smile aesthetics.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone to support dental prostheses. The implant, which fully adheres to the jawbone in approximately 2-3 months, comes to a position to carry the prosthesis to be placed on it. Existing gaps can be closed by applying them to areas with missing teeth or teeth. In cases where existing teeth are lost, an artificial tooth root is placed in the jawbone and gingiva instead of the tooth root. Teeth are placed on newly positioned roots. Dental implants enable patients who have lost their teeth to smile, talk, perform social activities, eat healthily and gain the most natural appearance of their teeth.

The necessary conditions for dental implant applications to give healthy and aesthetic results are as follows:

• It should be done by dentists who are experts in their field.
• Implants that are compatible with the jawbone and provide rapid healing should be used.
• Applied implant; It should not cause tooth and gum diseases and bone resorption.
• Teeth and smile aesthetics should be provided by covering them with materials that provide the closest appearance to the natural tooth.


How is the implant placed?

Before the implant treatment, the compatibility of the implants with the bone structure is determined in advance according to the tomographic x-ray images and a road map of the procedures to be performed is drawn. The duration of placing the implant in the patient's mouth varies according to the patient's bone structure, how many implants will be made, general needs, and the operation to be performed. An operation can vary from 15 minutes to 1-2 hours. The entire treatment can be completed in a single operation, or it may be necessary to complete the treatment process with several operations.
One week after the implant is applied, the first controls are made and the existing sutures are removed. The next process, called "osseointegration," starts the process of bringing the bone and titanium implant together. Although the recovery varies from person to person, the average time is between 2.5 and 3 months. At the end of 3 months, if there is no negative condition in the gingiva, the prosthesis can be started. If sinus lifting or bone placement procedures are performed, this process may take longer. For example, a waiting period of up to 5-6 months can be entered. Today, with the development of implant materials and new technologies, this process is shortened, and, in some cases, temporary teeth are made by measuring the day of implantation. At the end of 72 hours, the fixed prosthesis can be attached to the implants.

What Are the Risks in Implant Treatment?

The risk rate that can be seen in implant treatment is as much as the risks seen in all oral and extraoral treatments. No other risk is encountered. We can talk about the risks that may arise from infection if the patient has inflammation in the mouth or the area to be treated, or if the implant is not properly cleaned and properly cared for. Apart from these, smoking during the healing process is also one of the reasons that increase the risk of infection. In such a case, to avoid risks, patients should have regular check-ups and take the necessary precautions by paying attention to the details emphasized by the surgeon.

Who Cannot Have a Dental Implant?

Today, the implant can be applied to almost everyone. In patients with systemic diseases (diabetes, heart, blood pressure, etc.), the implant is applied by keeping the diseases under control with the follow-up and approval of the relevant doctor. It is not considered correct to apply implants to people who are under control and who use drugs by suppressing their immune system, and to cancer patients (treated or seen) without the necessary examinations and permission of the doctor. People with one or more missing teeth are candidates for implant treatment. With the implant application in patients who have no teeth in the mouth, they can apply a comfortable oral treatment that patients can use much better and more comfortably.

F.A.Q

Differences Between Smart Implants and Conventional Implants

Quick implants are implants that rapidly integrate with the jawbone, allowing for implant placement in just one day. They feature a special surface that is highly compatible with the human body, preventing bone resorption in the treated areas and can be used even in individuals with bone loss. <br><br> Compatibility with Jawbone: The material, design, and surface structure of the implant, along with factors such as performing the surgical procedure in a sterile environment without harming the jawbone and preparing the implant socket to perfectly accommodate the implant, all play important roles in ensuring compatibility with the jawbone. <br><br> Smart Implant: In implant procedures performed by our expert prosthodontists and oral surgeons under sterile conditions, a high level of bone compatibility is aimed for. Conventional Implant: Implants of inadequate quality can lead to issues with jawbone compatibility. Procedures carried out by non-specialized dentists in unsuitable environments can decrease the implant's compatibility with the jawbone. Gums and Jawbone Healing Speed: Smart Implant: Smart implants protect the treated area with their specialized surface, ensuring high compatibility with the human body. They accelerate the healing process of gums and jawbone and provide support for bone healing. Conventional Implant: Conventional implants, lacking a specialized surface with three-dimensional details, might fall short in supporting jawbone healing. They might be perceived as foreign objects by the body, potentially leading to gum recession, infection, and damage to the jawbone. <br><br> Potential Impact on Osteoporosis (Bone Loss) in Jawbone: Smart Implant: The use of three leading implant brands globally helps minimize the frequency of bone loss and prevent the bone resorption that can occur in areas of the jawbone with missing teeth. <br><br> Conventional Implant: Areas with missing teeth in conventional implant cases are prone to bone loss. Improperly conducted procedures and implants made from ordinary materials can further increase the risk of bone loss.<br> Structural Durability of Implant:<br> Smart Implant: Smart implants are compatible and durable with body tissues, exert low pressure on tissues due to their low density, remain unchanged in color, do not induce allergic reactions, and come with a lifelong guarantee against manufacturing defects. After the procedure, a "implant passport" is provided to emphasize the originality of the implant.<br> Conventional Implant: Conventional implant procedures may lead to undesired outcomes such as tissue incompatibility, fractures, dislodgment, structural deterioration, allergic reactions, rejection by the jawbone, damage to adjacent teeth, and infections.

Implant Hospitals in Turkey

Smart implants offer a significant aesthetic advantage in dental prosthetics, with zirconia ceramics providing light permeability and transparency, or empress and empress e-max ceramics creating an esthetic difference by closely resembling natural teeth. Every stage of dental prosthetic treatment is carried out using CadCam technology. Through CadCam technology, clear images of the oral measurements are obtained using cameras, facilitating precise measurement collection. Based on these images, the design of teeth and gums is visualized and planned in a digital environment. In the subsequent stages, dental prosthetics are manufactured using computer-aided technology, ensuring a hands-free process.

What is Dental Implant?

An implant, commonly known as a screw, is an artificial tooth root made from titanium material. Dental implant procedures offer a solution for aesthetic concerns and health issues caused by missing teeth. They can be thought of as artificial tooth roots made entirely from titanium, which is fully compatible with body tissues. Dental implants enable patients who have lost their teeth to smile comfortably, speak clearly, engage in social activities, maintain proper nutrition, and achieve the most natural-looking teeth. <br><br> A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into the jawbone to support dental prosthetics. When there are missing teeth that disrupt dental and smile aesthetics, dental implant procedures are generally preferred. In cases where natural tooth roots are lost, an artificial tooth root is placed within the jawbone and gum tissue to assume the position of the missing root. Teeth are then positioned over the newly placed roots. <br><br> In summary, dental implant procedures involve artificial tooth roots made from titanium, which is compatible with body tissues. These roots are placed into the jawbone through a minor surgical procedure in a sterile environment. Within approximately 2-3 months, the implant fully integrates with the jawbone and is ready to support a dental prosthesis. Once the implant is ready to bear the load of the prosthetic tooth, a dental prosthesis is attached.

What Are the Risks of Dental Implant Treatment?

The risk factor in dental implant treatment is comparable to the risks observed in both intraoral and extraoral treatments, and there are no distinct risks associated. Pre-existing or post-operative inflammation within the oral cavity can occur during implant treatment. One of the most commonly encountered risks is inflammation resulting from inadequate oral care. This inflammation can be prevented through regular maintenance before it arises, and it can also be managed after its occurrence. <br><br> Smoking during the healing process is another factor that increases the risk of inflammation. In such cases, patients can avoid these risks by undergoing regular check-ups and adhering to the details emphasized by the surgeon. <br><br> Insufficient care before and after the procedure can lead to the body rejecting the implanted area, resulting in an opening in the palate. While not posing a health risk, this factor causes a delay for the patient. Therefore, adhering to the guidelines provided by the doctor will yield the most effective results for the patient.

Who Cannot Receive Dental Implants?

In modern times, dental implants can be applied to nearly everyone. Patients with systemic diseases (such as diabetes, heart conditions, hypertension, etc.) can undergo the procedure if their conditions are under control, with the supervision and approval of their relevant doctor. Implants can be placed after appropriate evaluations and with the consent of the doctor for patients who use immunosuppressive medications or who have had cancer (undergoing or completed treatment). However, it is not advisable to proceed with implant placement without proper evaluation and doctor's approval in such cases. Individuals who have lost one or more teeth or are at risk of losing teeth are potential candidates for implant treatment. Even patients who have no teeth in their mouth can benefit from implant procedures, which can provide a comfortable and high-quality oral treatment option. In essence, dental implants are a versatile solution that can be considered for a wide range of individuals. However, each case is unique, and a thorough evaluation by a qualified dental professional is necessary to determine the suitability of implant treatment based on an individual's specific health conditions and needs.
