Implant dental treatment is the process of replacing missing teeth with fixed or removable dental prostheses on titanium screws placed in the jawbone. Dental implants offer the closest solution to the natural tooth root and replace natural teeth both aesthetically and functionally. This treatment method aims to improve the quality of life of individuals with tooth loss.
Dental implants are preferred as the ideal solution in the following cases:
Single Tooth Missing:
A dental implant can be applied to complete a missing tooth.
Multiple Missing Teeth:
Multiple implants can be bridged over multiple implants to complete more than one missing tooth.
Patients with Complete Edentulism:
Fixed prostheses or removable prostheses can be placed on implants in completely edentulous individuals.
Patients Dissatisfied with Dentures:
For patients who are uncomfortable with removable dentures, implants offer a more fixed and comfortable solution.
1. Examination and Planning:
Your dentist will perform a detailed examination to assess the quality and suitability of your jawbone.
The jaw structure is examined with imaging methods such as X-rays or 3D tomography.
The area where the implant will be placed and the number of implants required are determined.
2. Surgical Procedure:
Under local anesthesia, implant screws are inserted into the jawbone.
A healing process of 2-3 months is usually expected for the implant to integrate into the bone (osseointegration).
3. Prosthesis Phase:
After the implant is completely fused to the bone, a dental prosthesis (crown or bridge) is placed on it.
The most suitable fixed or removable prosthesis option is preferred for the patient.
Natural Look and Comfort:
Implants offer a look and feel very similar to natural teeth.
Long Lasting Solution:
With proper care and hygiene, implants can be used for years, even a lifetime.
Protects Jawbone Health:
Prevents the melting of the jawbone due to missing teeth.
Improves Speech and Chewing Function:
Provides better chewing and speech comfort compared to removable dentures.
Does Not Damage Side Teeth:
Compared to treatments such as bridges, implants can be applied without interfering with the side teeth.
Dental implants are one of the safest and most successful treatment methods of modern dentistry. The success rate is over 95%. However:

Correct planning and application by the dentist is important.
Adults People who have completed jaw and facial development.
Individuals with Good General Health: Implant treatment can be performed even in systemic diseases such as diabetes under control.
Those with Sufficient Jaw Bone: The volume of the jawbone should be sufficient to support the implant. Grafting (bone grafting) can be performed in case of bone insufficiency.
Those with uncontrolled diabetes.
Active smokers (may negatively affect the healing process).
Individuals with severe osteoporosis or advanced gum disease (pre-treatment may be required).
Patients during pregnancy.
Healing Process:
Soft foods should be consumed for the first few days after the implant.
Excessively hot or cold foods and drinks should be avoided.
Smoking and Alcohol:
Smoking and alcohol consumption should be limited after treatment.
Oral Hygiene:
Oral care habits such as brushing, flossing and mouthwash should be taken care of for the longevity of the implant.
Regular Checkups:
The condition of the implant should be checked regularly by the dentist.
Endosteal (In-Bone) Implants:
It is the most commonly used type of implant that is screwed into the jawbone.
2. Subperiosteal (Above Bone) Implants:
It is placed on the jawbone. It is generally used in patients with insufficient bone volume.
3. All-on-4 Implants:
In patients with complete edentulousness, fixed prosthesis is applied by placing 4 implants per jaw.
4. Zirconium Implants:
It is a type of implant that does not contain metal and is used for purely aesthetic purposes.
The duration of implant treatment depends on the patient’s jawbone condition and the procedures to be performed:
In simple cases, implant placement takes 1-2 hours.
It takes 2-3 months for the implant to fuse to the jawbone.
If additional procedures (bone grafting or sinus lifting) are required, the duration may be slightly longer.
