Replacing of missing teeth



Implant.



Dental implant treatments are modern methods used to replace missing teeth. The most important advantage is that the neighbour teeth are not touched. However, if there is no tooth in the posterior region, it offers a fixed tooth option as an alternative to the removable prosthesis.

Implant - Summary



An implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone so that a new tooth can be made in case of tooth loss. Dental implants are modern dental procedures that can be applied in cases where tooth loss is experienced due to periodontal disease, caries, injury or other reasons.


After the implants are placed in the jawbone, they are attached to our jawbone. This attachment can be thought of as a kind of fusion with the bone. Because some of our cells in our jawbone begin to attach to these artificial tooth roots obtained from titanium alloy. When this bonding reaches the desired level, crown can be fixed on it


A spacer called an abutment is placed on the implant to support the crown to be made. These parts are fabricated products of dental implant companies as well as custom made ones. This situation is decided by the prosthesis physician according to his preference. The teeth made on the abutment are always made individually, in accordance with the mouth and tooth condition of each individual, imitating natural teeth.


Today, cylindrical implants have been used successfully for over 30 years. They are the treatments with the highest support capacity for the teeth to be replaced by the lost tooth. Because implant crowns have a structure that is in connection with the bone in the root area of the lost tooth. In addition, the presence of a natural tooth, which is felt with the artificial root, is completed in terms of function and appearance.


Dental implant operations are one of the most reliable and predictable operations in dentistry, when performed by an experienced, up-to-date, trained dentist.


The time required for permanent teeth to be made after the implant operation is different for each individual. Because the bone tissue, the amount of bone remaining after the lost tooth, etc. it is different for each individual. After the examination, the physician informs the patient about an initial plan and a time recommendation to predict the completion of the teeth.


The total duration of treatment is related to the individual's needs, medical and dental history, the condition of the jawbone, the technique applied and the material used. It can take up to 2 months, and in some cases, there are operations that need to wait even a year.



Implant - Short Brief



  • Dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone.
  • When dental implant is placed, the teeth next to the cavity do not need to be prepared.
  • In some cases, implants can be placed during tooth extraction.
  • If the necessary conditions are met, a temporary tooth can be placed on the implant within a few days.
  • People using removable dentures can switch to fixed crowns with implants.


Things to Consider Before Implant Treatment



Before the implant operation, you usually need to use antibiotics as recommended by your doctor. Going to the clinic on a full stomach will ensure that you do not feel hungry after the procedure.


If you have a systemic disease, informing your doctor beforehand about this disease, and if necessary, taking the written paper of your doctor who will perform the implant operation and getting a written answer will allow you to have a more comfortable procedure and post-procedure period.



Is Implant Operation Painful?



Since local anesthesia is applied 5-10 minutes before the implant operation starts, there is no pain. In long-lasting procedures, pain formation is prevented by adding anesthesia while the operation continues.



When are the teeth inserted after the implant operation?



After the implant operation, it takes an average of 2-4 months for your permanent teeth to be made. This period varies depending on whether bone powder is used during the implant operation, the type of implant, and the jaw in which it is made. In some cases, it may be necessary to wait up to 10 months.



Which Implant Brand Should I Have?



It is the most frequently asked question by people who want to have implants. However, it is not possible to say that this brand is safer. The number of implant brands has exceeded 1500 in the world and it is reported that the number of implant brands in Turkey is over 800.



Doctorlaçin 's answer to this question



Producing implants for a long time (for 20 years or more), that sell implants at a significant level internationally , that show the long-term results of the implants made by their physicians, that improve themselves against the complications they experience over time, and that allocate sufficient budget to R& D studies are generally more reliable.


In this context, when choosing the brands I make myself, I apply all the infrastructures of the companies that I can reach, the thoughts of my Turkish and foreign dentist friends abroad and in the country, the steps taken by the company regarding permanence, and the companies that I think may be appropriate as a result of my evaluation of R& D studies.


Nobel Biocare , ITI- Straumann , Astra Tech , Dentium , Osstem , Bredent , Ankylos are brands that have proven themselves with academic studies and have been and are still being applied by me for years. These brands are known as the leaders of the implant industry in the world and accepted by many dentists.


However, there are other brands with similar clinical success. And therefore, there should not be a perception that those other than these brands are not reliable. Unfortunately, it is not possible to have information about all brands.



Is the Implant Brand Important? Physician?



The answer to this question should definitely be both the brand and the physician. However, your priority should be a physician. Because the experience, knowledge and initiative of the physician is very important. There are actually many stages such as the information and follow-ups given to the patient before and after the operation, and this is not done by brands, but by the physician.


Of course, no matter how much you trust your doctor, you should definitely ask about the brand to be made, all the questions that come to your mind, and then start the process. Ask for the warranty documents and boxes of the implants after the operation.


This practice should actually be routine, but if it doesn't, don't hesitate to ask, it's a very natural situation for transparency.



What is a Seamless Implant?



In individuals with sufficient amount of bone, closed surgery and seamless implant operation can be performed. Before these surgical procedures, three-dimensional images and impressions of the patient's jawbone are taken and these data are analyzed. Afterwards, a surgical guide is made according to the condition of the jawbone and the positions of the implants are determined.


With this method, operation time can be reduced, implant positions can be adjusted much better, pain and swelling can be seen less.


However, it cannot be applied to every individual and is more costly than conventional operations.



What is a Fixed Temporary Teeth on Implant?



They are fixed teeth that cannot be inserted and removed within 7 days following the placement of the implants. These teeth are removed and replaced with permanent fixed teeth after the necessary healing period is completed and the connection between the implant and the jawbone is established.


In the period following the implantation, if fixed temporary teeth cannot be made, removable dentures (palatal prosthesis) can be made for aesthetic reasons. These prostheses are generally not preferred by physicians as they can reduce the success of the implant very highly. With fixed temporary teeth, this risk is greatly reduced.


In cases where the torque values indicating the compression of the implant in the bone during the implant operation can exceed certain rates, a temporary tooth can be made on the implant.


The physician who performs the operation decides whether a fixed temporary tooth can be applied after the implant. In some cases where applications such as bone grafts and membranes are applied, temporary teeth may not be made despite sufficient torque values. It cannot be applied to individuals with teeth clenching and grinding disorders.



What is Implant Supported Crown?



Metal-based porcelain crowns are more economical than zirconium-based and ceramic-based crowns.


At this point, the choice of crown can sometimes be made by the physician, if there are options in the patient's case, the shape of the crown is decided by talking to the patient.


Prices vary according to the laboratory procedures of the selected material and the necessity of using different abutments .



Implant with Customized Abutment - What is Implant with Custom Abutment?



The implant consists of three parts; An artificial tooth root placed on the jawbone, an abutment in the form of a prepared tooth screwed on the artificial tooth root, and a crown tooth placed on the abutment .


Each implant company produces spacer abutments in standard sizes they specify. However, although these abutments are in various sizes, they cannot imitate the different gingival thickness and shape of each individual in every implant position


For these reasons, based on the three-dimensional abutment designs provided by implant companies, spacers are designed and produced according to the tissues of the person, the position of the implant, its relationship with the neeighbour teeth and implants.


Personal implant tooth duration ( custom abutment ) is surgically the same as standard implant treatment. However, the crown stage is slightly longer than the case with the fabricated abutment . Because, in order to make a personalized abutment , a separate time passes for the design and production of an abutment according to the compatibility of the individual with the gingiva, neighbour teeth and/or implant .

x-ray / tomography.


Being examined is free in our clinic.




What Affects Implant Prices?



The factor that primarily changes the implant application fees is the implant brand, but also the condition of the mouth and teeth, the presence or absence of bone resorption.


More than 800 implant brands are reported to operate in Turkey and their prices vary from brand to brand. It does not make sense to say that an expensive brand implant is a good implant. Implant selection is usually made according to the case. Since a lot of research has been done on implants, many brands today give very successful results with newly developed production techniques and implant surface treatments. Some brands may have advantages over each other, and different implant generations of the same implant brand may have advantages over each other in different cases. For these reasons, the recommendations of an experienced doctor after the examination are important in order to learn the implant tooth prices.



If there is a Bone Deficiency in the Jaw, Is Implant Applied?



In cases such as Gingival diseases, various accidents or a long period of time without teeth, loss of the jawbone may occur. In cases where the amount of bone remaining as a result of these loss is not sufficient for implant construction, various procedures should be performed to strengthen the jawbone before the implant operation.


In these procedures, materials such as bone graft, membrane and pin are generally used.


The fees for these materials vary according to the amount of use and the difficulty of the operation. You can learn the necessity of this by sending your x-ray taken in the last 6 months via whatsapp or e-mail. In many cases, an intraoral examination is also required.



Advanced Surgical Techniques



When there are some bone deficiencies, the graft and membrane processes are not sufficient.


In these cases, it may be necessary to take bone from another region of the individual's jaw and move it to the affected area, and various screws and plates can be used.


In this way, when extra methods are needed, the cost of dental implant treatment increases.



Sinus Lifting



Maxillary sinuses in the posterior region of our upper jaw, and it may be necessary in cases where our sinuses sag into the edentulous area, usually due to bone resorption.


Depending on the amount of remaining bone, open sinus lifting or closed sinus lifting procedures are performed. Different pricing is made depending on whether the lifting process is bilateral or unilateral.
