Implant Treatment
Implant applications
Dental implants are an effective treatment method that is frequently applied today and provides long-term satisfaction. With this method applied in case of tooth loss, artificial tooth roots are placed in the bone.
Implant Treatment Applications
Implant applications are a method used to eliminate tooth deficiencies, but it can also support other treatments to be applied. During this procedure, no procedure such as reduction of neighboring teeth is performed. There is no requirement to have teeth in the mouth for the application of this procedure. It is a successful treatment method that can also be applied for patients with no teeth.
The implant is basically based on the logic of placing an artificial tooth root made of titanium into the bone. For this reason, bone and gum health must be suitable for this treatment. Even after the treatment, maximum attention should be paid to gum and bone health.
The dentist can decide on the feasibility of this treatment as a result of clinical and radiological examinations. As for the age of the patients, the limit is only in young patients who have not yet completed their jaw and facial development.
Implant Treatment Processes and Duration
We can basically talk about 5 steps for implant treatment. In the process that starts with the examination step, the patient’s suitability for treatment and the procedures to be applied during the treatment process are decided. After this stage, implant application is started and implants that will act as artificial roots are placed under local anesthesia. The duration of the operation may vary depending on the number of implants.
After the placement of the implants, the healing process starts between 3-6 months depending on the patient. In this process, the integration of the body and the implant is also ensured. During this period, temporary prostheses can be worn so that the patient is not deprived of his teeth and his daily life is not adversely affected. However, at this stage, it is important to follow the diet specified by the dentist and not to put too much pressure on the dentures. After the successful completion of the healing process, the second part of the implant, the prosthesis parts called abutment, are placed and the treatment is terminated with the application of the prosthesis, which is the last stage.
It is important not to go beyond the conditions specified by the dentist regarding the treatment process and the issues to be considered after the treatment process and afterwards, it is important for the treatment to be successful. It is also important that oral and dental care is carried out regularly after treatment and routine checks are not interrupted.
