What is an Implant?

An implant is an artificial tooth root made of suitable material and placed in the jawbone to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth.

What are the Benefits of Implant Application?

Implant treatment is a comfortable, solid and reliable application. Prosthetics made on implants replace real teeth while creating a natural structure. While missing teeth are completed, healthy teeth are left untouched.

Is Implant Treatment Long-Lasting?

Implants are much longer-lasting than prosthetics. Studies to create a safe implant have been ongoing since the early 1800s. Today, there are implants on the market that are very close to perfect and have 35-40 years of clinical follow-up. You can get more detailed information on this subject from your dentist.

Can Implants Be Applied to Every Patient?

Implant screws are structures with a certain thickness and width. For this reason, the jawbone in the area where the implant is planned to be placed must have the height and width to accept this implant screw. The quality of the existing bone is one of the factors that affect the success of the implant. In addition, the gums must be completely healthy before the treatment and as long as the implant remains in the mouth.

As long as the patient's general health is good, there is no upper age limit that will prevent implant application. Implants can be applied to anyone with good general health. However, it may not be preferred to apply them to very young patients whose bone development is not complete.

What is the Total Treatment Time of the Implant?

Today, it is even possible to perform implant operations in just 10 minutes. The total time varies according to the type of operation determined according to your tooth and bone structure. The procedure is usually completed in the 2nd month after the first operation. During this period, you will be able to continue your normal daily life with temporary dental prostheses.

Can My Prostheses Be Placed Immediately After the Implants Are Placed?

In order to ensure that the implants are fully integrated with the bone, the loads on the implant must be minimized for the first 2-3 months. Your doctor will not leave you toothless by making a temporary prosthesis suitable for you during this healing process. Then, the permanent teeth will be mounted on the implants and the treatment will be concluded.

Is Cleaning of Implants Important?

Yes, and it is very important. Considering that implants are foreign objects in the mouth, we would like to state that their cleaning is at least as important as your own teeth, or even more important.

Implant cleaning is not much different from cleaning normal teeth, your dentist will give you detailed information about cleaning methods. What you should not forget is that the most important factor required for this type of treatment to be successful is regular oral care.

Will I Feel Pain When the Implant is Placed?

If appropriate anesthesia methods are applied, you will not feel pain while the implant is placed. General or local anesthesia can be used during the operation according to the patient's preference.

After the surgery, there may be a pain similar to the pain after tooth extraction. This pain, which can usually be felt on the evening the implant is placed, can be relieved with simple painkillers. In cases where the treatment is completed without any problems, you will be so comfortable that you will not even feel the presence of the implants.

What Happens If the Implant Screw Does Not Fuse to the Jawbone?

If the appropriate implant and method are used, such a possibility is almost non-existent. This type of failure usually occurs within the first 3 months following the surgical operation. In such a case, the implant should be removed with a procedure as easy as tooth extraction. Following the healing of the bone in this area, a new implant can be placed, or one of the classic type prostheses can be preferred.

Is There a Possibility of Implant Rejection by the Body?
