Implants
Implant treatment is a method used to replace missing teeth. This method, which is carried out without any intervention on the remaining teeth in the mouth, can also be defined as a protective application. In terms of chewing function, a dental implant provides a better chewing ability compared to other prostheses, since it exerts the same force as a natural tooth.
Thanks to this method, which is used in place of the deficiencies, it is possible to obtain a more aesthetic appearance. For this reason, it is known that it is one of the most preferred methods.
How is Implant Treatment Performed?
The procedure is performed by numbing the area while the patient is awake. It is known to be a surgical procedure, but it is an easily performed method for most patients. Thanks to this method, which is easily performed, missing teeth are removed and a more aesthetic appearance is obtained.
In Which Situations are the Implant Applied?
It is a type of prosthesis that imitates the root of the tooth, which can be applied to this area in cases where permanent teeth are missing, and aims to restore the aesthetics and chewing ability here. If there is enough space in the jawbone, it can be successfully applied in almost all tooth deficiencies. An implant can be applied immediately after tooth extraction. At the same time, it can be placed after an average of 2 to 3 months, waiting for the healing of the extraction area to be completed.
What Should Be Considered Before Getting a Dental Implant?
The implant is known as an artificial tooth root, which is placed in the jawbone in order to regain the function and aesthetics of the missing teeth. Bone structure is one of the factors affecting the success of the implant. It is necessary to have a suitable bone structure. If the bone structure of the person is suitable, there is no upper age limit.
The duration of the implant may vary depending on the number of teeth to be made. It is observed that these periods are shortening with the developing technology. In addition, the pain that occurs after the procedure is similar to the pain that occurs after a normal tooth extraction. If the treatment is completed without any problems, patients may not even feel the presence of the implant. Depending on the patient, local anesthesia can be performed during the procedure.
Before the implant treatment, the gums should be healthy as long as the implant remains in the mouth. In order to ensure the full integration of the implant with the bone, the loads on the implant should be lightened during the healing period. In addition, smoking is not recommended for early recovery.
To Whom the Implant is Not Applied?
- For patients who have not completed their growth and development
- Pregnant women
- Patients who are in the chemotherapy process or who have radiotherapy to their jawbones.
- To the jawbones of patients using bisphosphonates, monoclonal antibodies, corticosteroids and drugs that suppress the immune system.
- Blood clotting problems
- Rheumatic diseases
- The patient’s unsuitability for surgical procedures
- In chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, the process should proceed more controlled and the treatment should be planned by learning the details of the patient’s condition.
- How Long Does an Implant Last?
The implant, which is performed under sterile conditions and appropriately, can be used for many years. However, smoking affects the healing process negatively. Therefore, smoking is not recommended. At the same time, it is recommended that people with clenching disease should have a plaque after their implant prosthesis is made.
Generally speaking, this process, which has been used quite frequently in recent years, has a very long lifespan. However, this may change depending on the habits of the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to act more carefully. Thus, it can be healed in a short time and its permanence can be preserved for a long time.
