Implant application is a treatment method especially applied by people who have lost their teeth. Although it is not used for cosmetic purposes, the desired aesthetic appearance is achieved as a result. For this, it is important that you discuss with our doctor in detail before the procedure and specify what you want.
Implant treatment is suitable for patients over the age of 18. This method of treatment is not recommended at younger ages and in certain situations. You can contact our Yeşiltepe Dental specialist dentists to determine whether your tooth structure is compatible with implant dental treatment, current implant prices and the treatment method to be applied in the most accurate way.
What is an implant?
Implant is a method mostly used in the treatment of missing teeth. It can be made to replace the spontaneously fallen teeth, as well as after the extraction of the broken and painful tooth due to various dental problems, the implant can be applied.
A new tooth is made with the implant. Although this tooth is like a kind of prosthesis, it is placed on the gums by nailing. For this reason, it becomes just like the patient’s own original teeth and does not cause any problems during chewing. Before starting the implant treatment, it is absolutely necessary to consult with the specialist physician and make a correct planning.
Who Can Have Implants?
For implant construction, first of all, planning is required. Age is one of the most important factors in getting an implant. The second important thing is the tooth and jaw structure. This procedure can be performed if the jaw structure is suitable for implant treatment. For this reason, implant treatment is not recommended at young ages.
Because for treatment, the development of the jaw and face must be completed. For the completion of all this development, the age of 18 is usually sufficient. If necessary, after the necessary examination and diagnosis, implant treatment can be applied to young people between the ages of 16 and 18. This method, which is generally applied to individuals over the age of 18, is mostly preferred for tooth loss that comes with advancing age.
Deteriorations in the jaw structure may be more common in older individuals due to bone resorption. This is especially common in people over the age of 50. In addition, the tooth may need to be extracted in case of dental cyst problems. After this process, we are at your service with our expert team during the treatment phase. You can contact our Yeşiltepe Dental team for the most suitable treatment method for your jaw structure.
How is Implant Application Made?
Many people wonder how implant treatment is done. Several steps are required to start this treatment. Implant stages can be listed as follows:
1. Initial Inspection and Planning
2. Making the Prosthesis
3. Operation Phase
4. Implant Placement
5. The Healing Process
During the examination and planning process, various films are taken in order to better understand the patient’s jaw and tooth structure and to determine the appropriate treatment. A detailed oral and dental examination is also performed.
The area to be treated is determined with chin-dental films and the suitability of this area for the implant is evaluated. In the planning stage, detailed examinations such as how many implants will be made, how the prosthesis will be and how it will be placed are made. We do all this thanks to 3D films.
After the planning is decided, the prosthesis is made to adapt to the existing teeth. At this stage, we start the prosthesis preparation in accordance with the patient’s oral size and wishes.
After the prosthesis is prepared, the operation phase is started. Necessary stimulation is provided with local anesthesia and slots are opened in the gingiva for the implant. The implant is placed in these slots. The implant healing process is different for the lower and upper jaw. The lower jaw completely integrates with the jaw structure in an average of 2 months and the upper jaw in 3-4 months.
