Dental implants are referred to as artificial tooth roots. This medical method, which is used in the treatment of missing teeth, can be applied much more easily and in a short time with new technologies.

What is an implant, what is a dental implant, and similar questions have more inclusive answers than before. Basically, a screw that will act as a root is placed in the jawbone and a dental prosthesis is placed on these screws. Implants, which can be in the form of fixed prostheses or removable prostheses, bring various advantages.

Dental Implant Application Process

Dental implants are screws placed in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth. In the first stage, patient-doctor consultation is made, then examination and treatment steps are carried out respectively.

• Dental Implant Consultation,
• Intraoral Examination,
• Dental Implant Treatment,
• Post-Implant Healing Process.

In order for all these stages to progress smoothly, it is recommended that you continue the treatment with a successful and experienced oral surgeon. Choosing a good clinic will positively affect both the treatment and post-implant healing process and the duration of implant use. For example, you don't have to deal with peri-implant diseases, which are described as inflammatory lesions in the soft tissues surrounding the implant. By choosing Osis, you can experience a safe and comfortable treatment process.

Dental Implant Consultation Phase

• The doctor;
• Listens to the patient's complaints,
• Checks the patient's medical history,
• Informs the patient about the types of dental implants,
• Controls natural teeth health,
• Determines which dental treatments the patient needs, after the examination.
• Gives information about dental implant costs and explains the whole process.

Intraoral Examination

After the agreement of the patient and the doctor, a detailed intraoral examination of the patient is performed. Comprehensive x-rays are taken, including the teeth and jaw areas. The jawbone is measured, the area around the missing tooth is examined, and the natural dental health is checked. It is also taken into account whether the tooth roots are solid and strong. Among the types of dental procedures, the most suitable one is decided.

Endosteal, subperiosteal, and All-on-4, which are implant types, are explained to the patient. Depending on the mouth structure, implant overdentures or implant-supported bridge applications can also be included in the planning. An explanation is given about bridges and removable dentures if they need to be included in the treatment plan. Based on the data obtained, a treatment plan is created.

Dental Implant 

If there are problems such as decayed teeth, or periodontal disease, these should be corrected first. If the amount of jawbone is not sufficient or there is not enough space to place an artificial root, procedures such as bone formation, bone grafting, and adding bone powder are performed. Thus, the area to support the implant is prepared.

After the bone hardness and amount reaches the desired level, the artificial tooth root is placed in the jawbone and these screw-like roots are expected to fuse with the tissue. Healing is completed within 2 to 4 months, and then temporary dental caps are attached with an incision method. These will stay in the mouth for about 1 week. During this process, the prostheses created as a result of tooth measurements are prepared in the clinical setting.

Prostheses compatible with the natural tooth form, length, and color are attached to the implant (attached to the implant). As a result of these, the treatment is completed, and the patient will directly feel and realize the difference between before and after dental implants.

Post-Implant Healing Process

Surgical procedures are much easier than before. During and after dental implant treatment, the patient does not face great difficulties and can return to daily life. After placing the implant in the jawbone, tenderness, minor swelling and discomfort may be experienced in the relevant area, but these side effects will pass in a short time.

The patient;

• Should pay attention to oral hygiene,
• Should follow the doctor's instructions and recommendations,
• Should choose the correct toothbrush. Patients should also brush, gargle and floss regularly.
• Should use interface toothbrushes,         
• Should stay away from activities that will adversely affect dental health.

Dental implants require careful care and correct use. In order to achieve the desired results and long-term use of the implant, the patient should apply the above-described.
