The presence of one or more missing teeth in the mouth is considered to be an extremely important problem both in terms of oral and dental health and aesthetics. Implant treatment, which is one of the frequently used dental procedures today, has become an extremely effective alternative to traditional bridge and prosthesis treatments due to the developments in technology and dentistry.

Although there are many developments in oral and dental health, many people are faced with the problem of tooth loss due to tooth decay and other causes. People who have one or more missing teeth in their mouth have been treated with bridges and dentures for many years. On the other hand, these methods have been replaced by implant treatment, which is an aesthetic, reliable and permanent method.

Dental implants can simply be defined as medical devices that are surgically implanted in the jaw to restore the chewing ability and appearance of the person. Dental implants provide the best support for artificial teeth, such as bridges, crowns or dentures.

In cases where teeth are lost due to any injury or disease, complications can develop that cause rapid bone loss, imperfect speech or problems with chewing patterns. If a lost tooth is replaced with a dental implant, a significant improvement is achieved in the patient’s quality of life and health.

Dental implant systems consisting of a dental implant body and a dental implant abutment may also have a fulcrum fixing screw. The body of the dental implant is surgically placed in the jawbone instead of the tooth root. The dental implant abutment is usually attached to the implant body with the abutment fixing screw and extends from the gums to the mouth for the artificial teeth attached.

What is Implant Treatment?

The implant, which is usually a tooth root that is placed in the form of screws and surgically placed in the jaw, is used to complete the missing teeth in the mouth. In implant treatment, screws made of titanium are mostly used and dental prostheses are placed on the screws.

The dental implant procedure basically constitutes a step of the dental operation performed to replace a missing tooth. Dental implants are easily removed, in other words, unlike removable prostheses, they are placed in the jawbone with a small surgical operation.

A dental implant, usually a piece of titanium, looks like a screw. Over time, bone grows around the implant, which is placed in the jaw where the roots of the missing tooth are located. In this way, it is ensured that the implant is kept in place. An artificial tooth or crown is attached to the metal to fill the gap caused by the missing tooth and the crown; It is specially designed and made to resemble other teeth in shape, size and color. It is also possible to use dental implants to hold a dental bridge or dentures in place.

How Long Does Implant Treatment Last?

Implant treatment is completed between 3 and 9 months on average from the first examination to the surgical procedure, until the abutment and crown are placed. On the other hand, how long the implant treatment will be completed may vary according to the current condition of each patient and how the healing process occurs. However, if the patient needs bone graft or sinus lifting procedures, implant treatment will take longer.

Implant treatment, which is a frequently applied dental procedure that provides effective results, can be applied under local or general anesthesia. Before starting treatment, the patient is given some scans and X-rays are taken. The purpose of this is to clearly see where the implant will be placed. The dental implant is placed in the jawbone with a small operation.

Within a few months, the implant becomes stable as the bone around the dental implant grows. The dentist creates a basis for the new tooth or teeth and after a certain period of time to make the artificial tooth or teeth, measurements are taken from the mouth. At the final stage, the procedure is completed by screwing or gluing the artificial tooth or teeth to the foundation.

It takes an average of 10 to 25 minutes for each implant to be placed in the jawbone. The implant needs to attach to the jawbone in order to match and fuse with the jawbone and to replace the real tooth root. This period varies on average from 3 to 6 months. At the end of the period, the final stage of the treatment is reached and the implants become strong enough to carry the prostheses to be placed on them. Recovery time may vary depending on various factors, especially how strong the bone structure is for each patient.

If the patient does not have the strong bone structure and healthy gums required for implant treatment, additional bone surgery procedure may be on the agenda. Bone powder reinforcement can be applied to increase the thickness and height of the bone that is not strong and large enough for the implant treatment to be applied.

After the procedure performed under local anesthesia, an average of 6 months is needed to replace the bone powder placed with the patient’s bone and to gain sufficient strength for implant support.

It is important not to consume food and drink for 2 hours after implant treatment. Care should be taken to consume only soft and cold foods in the first 24 hours following the treatment and to avoid hot foods and drinks in the first week.

During the first 24 hours after treatment, the mouth should not be rinsed and spit out in order for the healing process of the wound site to begin. Teeth should not be brushed and mouthwash should not be used on the evening of the operation. 36 hours after implant treatment, gargling should be done with salt water or mouthwash 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

No alcohol and cigarettes are used for 24 hours following implant treatment. In fact, smoking is not recommended until the healing process is complete.
