Patient Information
What is dental implant?
The term dental implant refers to a dental device that replaces the missing tooth or the root part of the tooth and is made of substances that are compatible with the body (especially titanium). These substances are not considered foreign by the body. So the body does not reject them. These artificial roots can be used as the basis for the natural appearance of the teeth. It allows patients who lose some or all of their natural teeth to talk, laugh, and chew food in a better and more comfortable way.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
Dental implant surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia as a painless procedure. It can also be performed with sedation and general anesthesia. Postoperative pain and edema symptoms may be controlled by your doctor’s advice and painkillers.
Risky?
Implant treatment has been scientifically proven with the latest dental technologies and has been safely performed by dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons worldwide for many years. Risk factors vary depending on the health status of each patient (diabetes, bone resorption, etc.) and, as with any surgical procedure, the potential risks are minimized with detailed examination of the doctors before surgery and proper treatment planning, and then implant treatment can be safely performed.
Is there a guarantee for the implant?
Dental implant treatment as Bilimplant in implant products, we offer a 10 year warranty for.
Is there an age limit for treatment?
It is possible to place the implant after the jaws have completed their development. Therefore, dental implants can be performed after jawbone development is completed and if the patient does not contain a significant medical risk factor, without any age restrictions. This should be evaluated by your physician before the procedure.
How long should I wait for permanent restoration?
Once your implants are in place, the osseointegration time takes approximately 8-12 weeks. During this period, the implants reach strength that can withstand the forces that the natural tooth can afford. However, this period may vary depending on the patient’s health status and indications.
Then you need the special cleaning measures?
Good oral hygiene is very important before implant placement. After implant placement, good oral hygiene is recommended and checked regularly by the doctor. Careful oral hygiene will help dental implants could be used successfully for many years.
How Dental Implant is applied?
Implant placement into the jaw bones consists of two simple surgical procedures. These procedures are simple and are usually performed under local anesthesia. The first process is to form a housing in the jawbone to which the implant is to be firmly screwed and to place the implant in this housing. The implant remains embedded in the jawbone for an average of 3 months. During this healing phase, the implant and bone fuse. Depending on the implant type, it remains in the jawbone by covering or leaving it open. In the meantime, you can use your prosthesis or temporary crown-bridge. When the implant is firmly fused to the bone, it is opened for a second surgical procedure and the healing caps are worn around the neck of the implant to ensure healthy and aesthetic gingival formation. At this stage, your dentist will select and place the superstructures to which the teeth will be glued, as well as prepare the appropriate crown-bridge or restoration type.
Whom can be applied dental implants?
Any person who loses one or more teeth, or even a part of the jawbone, is a candidate for dental implants. Some or all of their teeth are non-congenital patients can also be candidate
There are two factors that will affect the result of the treatment: The first is the health status of the patient. There should be no systemic disease that affects wound healing negatively and should be under control. For example, dental implants can be applied in controlled diabetes. However, dental implant may not be preferred if the patient’s condition is unstable or other systemic diseases such as osteoporosis involving the bone are present. Dental implant treatment should be postponed until the patient’s condition is corrected. Second, it is necessary to have sufficient quality and quantity of bone for implant placement. In the event of tooth loss, the bone area around it slowly disappears and reshapes. Bone resorption that occurs in this way is physiological. If the degree of bone resorption is insignificant, implants can usually be implanted without further processing. However, if bone resorption is advanced, advanced surgical techniques, such as raising and / or widening the bone, may be necessary to implant the implant
Are dental implants expensive?
Contrary to the belief, dental implants are not very expensive. Costs vary depending on how many implants will be made by planning before implant surgery. Other factors include surgery itself, laboratory and prosthetic fees. When all these conditions are evaluated, the real cost will arise and in many cases dental implants are more economical than traditional prostheses in the long term.
