Dental Implant Application
In which cases can implants be applied?
It should not be forgotten that your teeth are an organ that affects not only our chewing but also our speech, appearance and even our personal charisma. Implants can be applied in cases of single tooth loss, multiple tooth loss and complete toothlessness.
Who can have implants applied to?
Anyone who has a normal wound healing capacity,
Good oral hygiene, Healthy bone structure in sufficient quantity or with the potential to be reached in sufficient quantity,
Does not have systemic diseases (diabetes, advanced osteoporosis, etc.) that pose a problem for implants, can have implants applied.
What are the advantages of implants?
Implants are a solid, comfortable and reliable application. Prosthetics made on implants create the most natural structure while replacing real teeth. Healthy teeth are not touched during the process of completing missing teeth. It is of course a very important advantage that our healthy teeth are not cut for the purpose of making prosthetics. In addition, implants are much longer-lasting compared to other prosthetic options.
Especially for our patients who have lost the chance to use fixed dentures due to missing teeth or for our patients who complain that their total dentures do not stay fixed in their mouths due to osteoporosis, the first alternative that will come to mind will be implant treatment.
Because the increasing human lifespan due to the development of living standards has made many of us demand a certain level of comfort in our advanced ages. Again, using removable dentures from a young age is not something any of us would want. This is exactly where implants offer us a great treatment alternative.
The effects of tooth loss will be psychological as well as physiological. Implants, as a special application that replaces natural teeth, also offer a definite and healthy solution to physiological and psychological problems caused by tooth loss or congenital tooth deficiencies.
What is Oral Implantology?
Plates, screws and nails made of titanium that are placed in place of lost teeth for treatment purposes, have no side effects for the organism, and can function like a natural tooth after completing their union with the bone tissue are called implants.
The tooth placed on the implant looks like your natural tooth and performs naturally.
Implant is a practice that dates back to the history of humanity. In various periods of history, people have seen mounting parts that will serve as teeth on the jawbone as a solution.
The most commonly used metal as implant material today is titanium. Titanium is a metal that has excellent tissue compatibility and has been used safely in many areas of medicine for centuries.
Titanium, which is shaped into a root, cylinder or screw, is ready for use as a dental implant after undergoing a number of special processes (special design acidification, laser roughening, etc.). These processes determine the quality of the implant.
As a result of tooth loss or trauma, physiological bone loss causes the level and volume of the jawbone to decrease. This prevents the prosthesis to be applied from fully performing its function. As a result, problems in chewing and speaking occur.
