Implant and Advanced Implant Surgery
Modern Dental Treatment Combining Aesthetics and Function
Today, many people who face the problem of missing teeth are looking for natural-looking and durable solutions. At this point, implants and advanced implant surgery come into play. This modern dental treatment offers aesthetically and functionally satisfying solutions to individuals with tooth loss. At this point, the advantages and treatment processes offered by implant treatment have become a matter of curiosity.
What is an Implant?
An implant is a screw-like structure made of titanium and is placed in the jawbone to replace the lost tooth. This is one of the closest solutions to a natural tooth. Implants are usually used in cases of single tooth loss or multiple tooth loss and offer a long-lasting, durable solution.
Implant treatment usually consists of several stages. Firstly, the jawbone is analysed by means of a detailed examination and digital imaging. This analysis helps to determine the optimum point where the implant should be placed. The titanium implant is then inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. After this stage, the healing process begins and a strong bond is formed between the jawbone and the implant. When the healing is complete, the prosthetic tooth is specially prepared and fixed on the implant.
To whom and under what conditions can implants be applied?
Implant treatment is generally suitable for individuals with good general health and adequate jaw bone. However, some conditions may affect implant applicability. For example, systemic health problems, such as diabetes, can be an obstacle for implant treatment. Therefore, a detailed health assessment and examination is required prior to implant treatment.
How Long Does Implant Treatment Take?
The duration of the implant treatment is based on an individualised plan. The placement of the implant in the jawbone can usually take a few hours. However, it can take several months to complete, including the healing process and the preparation of the prosthetic tooth. The healing process is important for the formation of a strong bond between the jawbone and the implant and can vary depending on the patient’s health.
What Should Implant Patients Pay Attention To?
Implant patients should pay special attention to dental hygiene after treatment. Brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups can help increase the longevity of the implant. In addition, avoiding habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can positively affect the success of implant treatment.
