DENTAL IMPLANTS

What is an Implant?

Implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials such as titanium and placed in the jawbone. These implants are designed to replace missing teeth and provide an aesthetic and functional solution by placing a prosthesis or crown over them.

How to Apply?

  1. Initial Assessment: The first step is to evaluate the patient’s condition. The structure of the jawbone, gum health and general health condition are examined.
  2. Implant Placement: Implants are placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. This is usually a surgical procedure and x-ray images are used to ensure the implants are placed in the correct position.
  3. Healing Process: After the implants are placed, a healing process is required for them to integrate with the jawbone. This process can usually take several months and ensures that the implants bond tightly with the bone.
  4. Abutment Placement: After healing is completed, a connection piece called an abutment is placed on the implants. The abutment allows the prosthesis or crown to be fixed on it.
  5. Prosthesis or Crown Application: A specially prepared prosthesis or crown is placed on the abutment. This denture or crown provides a similar appearance and function to the patient’s natural teeth.

What are the advantages?

  1. Natural Appearance and Function: Implants offer the closest aesthetic and functional solution to natural teeth. Dentures or crowns restore the patient’s smile and ability to chew.
  2. Long-Term Solution: Implants can last for many years with proper care and regular check-ups. They are longer lasting than other restorative options.
  3. Protection of Adjacent Teeth: As with other restorative options such as traditional bridges, there is no need to cut adjacent teeth. This ensures that intact tooth tissue is preserved.
  4. Preventing Bone Loss: Implants prevent bone loss by maintaining pressure on the jawbone. This helps preserve the jawline and aesthetic structure of the face.

SINUS LIFTING

Sinus lifting is a surgical procedure performed to increase bone volume in patients who do not have sufficient bone volume in the upper jaw area before implant treatment. This procedure is performed by adding additional bone graft to the area below the sinus cavity. Thus, sufficient bone volume is provided for the placement of implants.

EMBEDDED DENTAL OPERATIONS AND THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Impacted tooth operations are surgical procedures that aim to release or remove the tooth in cases where the tooth cannot emerge correctly. These operations may vary depending on the condition of the tooth and the location of its impaction.

  1. Pain and Discomfort: Impacted teeth can put pressure on surrounding tissues and cause symptoms such as pain, swelling and discomfort.
  2. Infections: Infections may occur as a result of the accumulation of bacteria around the gums.
  3. Cysts and Formation of Cysts: Cysts may form around impacted teeth and these cysts may put pressure under the gums or on the jawbone.
  4. Environmental Dental Problems: Impacted teeth can cause decay or damage to adjacent teeth.

Post-Operation Care and Recovery

After impacted tooth operations, it is important for patients to rest for a certain period of time and pay attention to their diet. Pain, swelling and discomfort after surgery are normal and usually subside within a few days. Patients’ compliance with physician instructions can speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of complications.
