Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium. They imitate your natural teeth with the dental prosthesis made on them by placing them in the areas where you have missing teeth. In addition to eliminating your missing teeth, implants save you from wearing a removable prosthesis and using your healthy teeth as a support. Thus, your dental problems will be solved comfortably and your quality of life will increase.
Contrary to what is thought, dental implant application is a very simple and painless application. In order for the operation to be successful, it is necessary to plan appropriately for the patient's condition. The correct determination of the jaw structure and the dimensions of the bone where the implant will be placed is carried out within the framework of planning.
In the surgery, the area related to local anesthesia is anesthetized, a slot is prepared in the bone where the implant will be placed, and the implant is placed. After the implant is placed, the screws that will remain on the implant during the healing period are placed and the recovery period is expected.
In order for the implant to remain stable against the pressures of chewing, it is expected to fully fuse with the jawbone. After the operation, a period of 1 to 3 months is required for the permanent prosthesis to be attached to the implant.
After the fusion period, the bone is measured and the planned prosthesis is attached.
Implant treatment is a minor surgical operation. Placement of a single implant in the jaw can be completed within 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the situation.
