DENTAL IMPLANTS
DENTAL IMPLANTS
The implant is a screw-shaped artificial root that is inserted into the jaw instead of missing teeth. Implants originating from the jaw bone's perception of titanium as part of the body are made of titanium. Therefore, the success rate of implants with high tissue compatibility is high. Implants are restored to the mouth most appropriately and naturally. The most important feature of the implant is that it can be applied without cutting the adjacent teeth. It is important that it can be applied in many patients, up to individuals with a missing tooth or no tooth. After implanting, patients can continue to eat everything safely. An implant can be applied even if patients have lost their teeth new or long ago. Implants look, feel and feel like natural teeth and provide chewing function.
How to apply?
Planning is very important in implant application. First, the patient should undergo a thorough oral examination and implant locations. All photographs and images taken before treatment help the treatment. Computer technology ensures complete follow-up of implant therapy. After the tomography images are transferred to the computer, the treatment process starts with the creation of 3-dimensional images of the bone and the whole face to be implanted. Since implant placement is a surgical procedure, the quality of the materials used, the sterilization and hygiene conditions of the environment are very important. Implant operation can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation according to the patient's request. The procedure takes 45 minutes or 1 hour depending on the number of implant applications. One week after the procedure, the patient should be consulted for both control and removal of the sutures applied during the operation. Depending on the condition of the bone and the implant, it is generally expected that the implant will boil to the bone within two to three months. A prosthesis can be started after the implant fuses into the bone. During this period, temporary teeth can be attached to the patient. No pain is felt during the implant procedure. Mild pain as possible after the procedure. Therefore, patients can use painkillers and antibiotics with the advice of dentists.
