Dental Implant Treatment

Implant treatment includes two stages

• Surgical stage

  In the first phase, the gum is cut to expose the bone. The holes are made into the bone for placing the implants. Local anesthesia is sufficient for this procedure

• Dental Superstructure

  In this phase, artificial teeth are placed. How these teeth are placed is planned before the implants are inserted. In our clinic, we perform this procedure in one session without having to come to the examination again with Cerec CAD / CAM technology.

In the first treatment is enough for 5 days and in the second treatment for 7 days is enough for a Dental Implant Treatment. Generally, it is enough to wait for implant procedures which are performed on the lower jaw for 2 months and on the upper jaw for 4 months. Depending on the procedure, jaw structure, bone condition, mouth and personal dental care of the patient, these periods may extend 1 to 2 months. If the person`s bone structure is suitable for the procedure, the implant phase can be started immediately

In Dental Implant Treatment, it is waited for healing the jawbone to insert the implants. Many factors such as age, vitality of the jawbone, extent of the procedure, and trauma level affect the recovery time. During this healing process, the jawbone unites with the surface of the dental implant. This period lasts approximately 8 to12 weeks. After this period finished, the implant can be inserted. However, the implants are inserted without waiting for some people whose jawbone structure is suitable for performing second phase immediately. But this is rare condition. Usually temporary dental implants are placed after the first phase. After completion of the fusion, permanent implants are placed. Permanent implants are placed depending on the healing period; it can last 2 to 3 months for the lower jaw and 3 to 4 months for the upper jaw. At the end of these periods, permanent dental implants are inserted.

Dental implants last many years, if you look after them and if they planned for your mouth and dental structure correctly. At the end of the procedure that the person has artificial teeth, they last can be used for a lifetime. The lifespan of the implants shortens in people who have gum disease or who do not take care for their oral health

It is important to wait that the dental implant and jawbone to be united, because if the dental implant and jawbone do not unite, it can occur to weigh on the dental implant and they can fail. The waiting period is long, because the person who has this procedure starts to chew after they are inserted

General or local anesthesia can be used during the procedure depending on the person`s preference. Generally, if any pain occurs, painkillers are used to reduce it after the procedure. Many patients report that the pain is no different from the pain experienced after a tooth extraction

When the implants are inserted, the bone may feel a little loose since it does not form around the dental root to stabilize them. However, there would be a risk that dental implants to be fall out, if this feeling continues after the recovery period and the situations occurs as below

• Infection
• Gum disease
• Low quality materials
• Poor dental health care
• Insufficient bone density
• Improper dental implant placement

Before the Dental Implant Treatment, a comprehensive examination and dental x-ray are performed. Then, the mild sedation is given the person. Afterwards, a small incision is made in the area where the dental implants will be performed on and they are placed into the jawbone. This procedure takes about 10 to 30 minutes for a single tooth. After inserting the dental implants, the gum covers these areas. Depending on the bone density and the condition of the jawbone, the healing period lasts 1 to 6 months. This period is required for the dental implant to be fused with the jawbone; this is called osseointegration implant. If needed, temporary dental implants are placed and they remain for 2 to 4 months.

Before the treatment, some tests and evaluations should be performed in order to succeed and lift the effectiveness of the procedure.

Some conditions should be evaluated, if the person who

• has some problems about the bone structure
• had chemotherapy and radiotherapy before
• has diabetes
• has heart diseases
• smoke

If needed, the dentist approval may be requested from the person whose treatment continues. Also, if needed, some extra procedures can be performed such as various x-ray applications and dental casts. In particular, the person`s mouth structure, the conditions of soft and hard tissues of the mouth are evaluated.

If this treatment is performed by an experienced dentist, and the person follows exactingly the dentist`s advices, the recovery period goes well and easily. At this period, the person should actively participate in the healing process and avoid any behaviors that may affect negatively the healing process. Taking care of oral health and dental hygiene after the procedure is completed will help to use dental implants in a healthy and lifelong way.

Also, please do not forget that if symptoms such as severe pain, swelling or fever gradually increase after the procedure, let the dentist know.

Reaching a successful Dental Implant Treatment results depends on keeping the mouth as clean as possible.

• Clean the other teeth normally with a toothbrush, starting immediately at the evening of the procedure.
• Avoid for touching the operation area for the first few days, and start to clean your mouth carefully with a toothbrush according to your dentist's advice.
• A mouthwash is very helpful for the healing in the first week. 
• Make sure that the mouthwash is not too hot or cold.
• Do not smoke until the recovery period is finished, because smoking delays the healing.
