Can an implant be applied in every missing tooth?
* Implant application can be performed in almost every case with indication
Can implant applications be made to any bone?
Finding the appropriate bone is one of the most important factors in the success of the implant. However, with the developing techniques, implant application can be easily performed in many cases with operations such as sinus (lift) lifting and bone augmentation (augmentation).
Is there a risk of the implant being rejected by the body?
Implants can be made of alloys such as titanium, zirconium, or ceramic material such as zircon. The common feature of all these materials is that they are not seen as foreign substances by the body. The body does not produce antigens against these materials. In other words, there is no question of not accepting the implant by the body.
What is the process followed in implant treatment?
Although implant treatment takes longer than conventional prosthetic treatments, it gives better results in terms of use.
Implant treatment consists of two stages as surgery and prosthesis. The surgical stage was reduced to 6 weeks depending on the developments in the material. Under normal conditions, this period varies between 2-3 months. However, in cases such as sinus lift (lifting) or bone powder sowing, this period is a little longer. The prosthesis stage can be performed similarly to the classical prosthesis stages.
Can individuals with diabetes (diabetes) be implanted?
There is no harm in implanting in patients whose sugar level is under control.
Is there a lot of pain during and after the implant treatment?
Local anesthesia is used during implant placement and the patient does not feel any pain.
In some cases, which is usually due to the patient’s fear of surgery, the procedure can be completed by applying sedation.
After the operation, with adequate care and regular use of drugs, a very comfortable recovery period is ensured.
Many patients state that the pain felt after implant treatment is less than the pain after tooth extraction.
Will there be swelling and bruising after implant surgery?
Although not very common, such complaints may occur after surgical intervention. It is recommended to apply a cold compress for 12 hours following the surgery.
Do implants fall out?
Combining a good indication and quality implant selection with the experience of the physician, the implant success rate reaches 98%.
Especially the selection of implant materials used is very important. It is necessary to use implants that have proven themselves and have long-term clinical studies.
Can a new implant be made to replace the lost implant?
Loss of the implant usually occurs within 6 months following the surgical operation. Similar to tooth extraction, following the removal of the implant, the bone is expected to heal and the new implant is placed.
Losses that occur in the late period are mostly due to gum problems that occur later.
Are implants harmful to the body?
Implants do not harm human health, however, since the implant allows the existing bone to function, it also helps to maintain the amount of bone.
Does smoking affect implant placement?
In individuals who smoke heavily, the risk of infection in the implanted area is 2-3 times higher and healing is delayed. Implants are not recommended in such patients.
Especially in the early period, smoking increases the risk of infection in the wound area.
What is seamless implant treatment?
With the tools we call special punch, the gum is lifted like a cover and the implant is placed. Both surgery and recovery time are shorter. However, the absence of stitches and less bleeding is another advantage of the punch technique.
Is an implant necessary for every missing tooth?
Although this is ideal for fixed prostheses, a few missing teeth can be treated with two or more implants.
Can a temporary prosthesis be made after implant treatment?
It is possible to use temporary prostheses on the same day with mini-implants made after surgery, especially for patients using palate prosthesis.
Is cleaning of implants important?
It is possible to use temporary prostheses on the same day with mini-implants made after surgery, especially for patients using palate prosthesis.
In which cases can implants be applied?
Total edentulous patients in the lower jaw * Palatal prostheses, in which patients with complete edentulism are used in the lower jaw, both the movement of the tongue and the small amount of tissues holding the prosthesis cause the prosthesis to move a lot and cause problems during function.
* Prostheses can come out of the mouth during movements such as coughing and stretching. Ongoing strokes and increased bone resorption increase this problem even more. At least two implants to be applied in such patients will not only solve these problems, but also increase the patient’s quality of life. In cases where there is sufficient bone, fixed prostheses can be made easily.
Maxillary edentulous patients
Although the retention is not as bad as the lower jaw in such patients, with at least two implants, both the retention of the prosthesis increases and the area covered by the prosthesis on the palate decreases. This will both make the patient feel more comfortable psychologically and make it easier to use. Especially in patients with nausea, the reduction of the area covered by the prosthesis will make the patient feel more comfortable.
Implants are widely used in cases where several teeth are missing in both the lower and upper jaws. Instead of making bridge restorations, which we call fixed prosthesis, implant applications will be more protective. However, it is a great advantage that our patients who have to use removable prosthesis can use fixed prosthesis together with implant treatment.
In patients with a single missing tooth, making a single implant instead of sacrificing two adjacent teeth will both protect the adjacent teeth and stop the melting of the bone.
What are the advantages of implant supported fixed restorations?
The patient feels like their own natural teeth, Causes less food accumulation, They require less maintenance Theyare more comfortable to use.
Along with implant treatment;
Good aesthetics
Being able to eat comfortably as if it were one’s own teeth, healthy and balanced diet
Being able to talk comfortably
A happier, social life with increased self-confidence * Being able to smile comfortably
Today, when implants are applied with correct diagnosis, sufficient knowledge, experience and equipment, they give very good results for the patient. and can be used for many years without any problems.
