Implant Treatment

Implant treatment is a procedure applied to replace teeth lost due to trauma, decay, or other reasons.

Implants are small screws made of titanium that are placed into the jawbone. Once the implants have fused with the jawbone, they function similarly to natural tooth roots.

Implantology is one of the best treatment options for patients with missing teeth. Implants provide a natural tooth-like appearance and function and are a long-lasting solution.

How is an Implant Done?

The answer to this question varies depending on the patient's bone and facial structure, the number of missing teeth, the type of implant, bone density, and similar factors.

1. The patient's tooth is extracted, and an implant is placed in the created gap.
2. After the implant is placed, stitches are applied.
3. For patients who have lost their teeth previously, a stitchless implant can be performed.

How is a Stitchless Implant Applied?

Stitchless implants are a method that can be applied without cutting the gum or using stitches. Therefore, it offers a less painful and faster recovery process for patients.

Who Can Have Stitchless Implant Treatment?

However, stitchless implant treatment may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to consult a dentist or dental implant specialist before evaluating treatment options. Here are some cases in which this treatment may be applicable:

• People with Missing Teeth:Those who have lost one or more teeth can consider this method to replace their missing teeth with stitchless implant treatment.
• Denture Users:Those using traditional dentures (commonly known as false teeth) can consider stitchless implants for a more stable and natural tooth placement.
• People in Good General Health:Those in good general health and suitable candidates for implant surgery can consider stitchless implant treatment.
• Those Preferring Minimal Surgery:Those who prefer a treatment that requires minimal surgery can view stitchless implants as a less invasive option compared to traditional implants.

Is There Pain During Implant Treatment?

The question of whether there is pain after an implant is one of the most frequently asked questions by those considering this procedure. Local anesthesia is applied to the patient during the placement of the implant. The patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. Compared to other procedures, it is a very comfortable process when performed by experienced and skilled practitioners, contrary to fears.

How Long Does Pain Last After the Implant?

The intensity and duration of pain vary from person to person. Therefore, it can be misleading to mention a specific number of days. Our dentists state that this pain subsides and passes within 1 to 3 days, but the patient does not feel severe pain after the procedure. With the painkiller recommended by our doctor, it is possible for the patient to continue their social life or work without interruption.

How Many Stages Are There in Implant Treatment?

Implant treatment is generally performed in two stages. In the first stage, implants are placed in the jawbone. This procedure is done under local anesthesia. After the implants are placed, it takes between 3 to 6 months for them to fuse with the bone, depending on the patient's bone structure. Once the implant has fused with the bone, in the second stage, a custom-made prosthesis is prepared based on impressions and placed on the implants.

Advantages of Implants

• Natural Appearance:Implants look like natural teeth and perfectly integrate with the jawbone.
• Permanent Solution:Implants offer durability for many years with minimal maintenance requirements.
• Restoration of Chewing Function:Implants restore the chewing function of lost teeth and provide a comfortable eating experience.
• Increase in Self-Confidence:Implants restore self-confidence lost due to missing teeth and allow for a beautiful smile.

Can Implants Be Done Under General Anesthesia?

It is possible and sufficient to perform implants under local anesthesia. However, some patients may prefer implant treatment under general anesthesia due to high anxiety, fear, and a strong gag reflex. In such cases, we can perform implant treatments painlessly, fearlessly, and with high comfort under general anesthesia at our affiliated hospital.
