Implant
Implant is the closest alternate to natural teeth today. The implanted tooth provides better speech and chewing function than traditional bridges and prostheses. The implant method also brings a natural look to your face.
Today it is understood that the implant is the most used dental treatment to be done in the 21st century. Applied with proper diagnosis, adequate expertise, experience and equipment a dental implant is treatment is a form, revealing most successful results for patient and physician.
Briefly, the implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone and made from appropriate materials to restore function and aesthetics of missing teeth.
Can it be applied to each patient?
Implant screws are structures that have a specific thickness and width. For this reason, in the region where implant placement is expected, the jawbone must have the height and width to accept this implant screw. The quality of the existing bone structure is also one of the factors affecting implant success. Also, as long as the implant remains in the mouth and before the treatment, the gums must be completely healthy. As long as the patient's overall health condition is good, there is no upper age limit to prevent implantation, but the application of a very young patient whose bone development is incomplete may not be preferred.
Do I feel pain when the implant is placed?
No, if appropriate anesthesia methods are applied. General or local anesthesia can be used depending on patient preference during operation. Usually, the pain that can be expected in the evening after the implantation can be relieved by simple painkillers. Many patients indicate that this pain is not different from the pain experienced after normal tooth extraction. At cases where the treatment is completed without problems you will be comfortable enough to not even feel the presence of the implants.
