Dental Implant Treatment

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are materials placed into the jawbone to act as a tooth root in the area where teeth are missing. They are mostly made of titanium. Tooth loss can occur over time due to reasons such as caries and periodontal problems. In such cases, if the tooth loss area remains empty for a long time, it may cause some problems with other teeth, the jaw joint or chewing.

What are the damages of untreated tooth cavities?

It is quite common for other teeth to move into an area that has been toothless for a long time. These displacements in other teeth cause problems in jaw closing relationships and chewing. Diastema (gaps between teeth) may also occur in the front teeth.

The condition, which initially manifests itself as a single missing tooth, can eventually turn into a problem involving all teeth and the jaw. In toothless areas that are not treated for a long time, jawbone recession and bone resorption also occur over time.

My other teeth slipped into my tooth cavity. What is the treatment?

In this case, the other teeth must be replaced with orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment opens up the space required for the implant. The root positions of the teeth adjacent to the implant are corrected. Braces treatment or invisalign One of the orthodontic treatments such as orthodontic treatment (wireless orthodontics), transparent plate treatment) can be chosen. Orthodontic miniscrewsand temporary anchorage materials can be used when there is a significant shift in the position of the teeth. Mini screws do not serve the same function as dental implants. It is placed in the bone to create temporary support areas for orthodontic treatment.

Over time, there were gaps between my front teeth. What is the treatment?

Just as with the back teeth, shifts towards the tooth cavity also apply to the front teeth. Over time, the front teeth shift sideways and tooth gaps called diastema form between them. Orthodontic treatment can close the gaps between teeth. The teeth are returned to their original position. In this way, the problem is solved without interfering with your natural teeth.

Another treatment method is to close the gaps between the teeth by making restorations such as porcelain lamina, composite filling. The treatment that suits you should be chosen according to your smile design.

Is the tooth on the implant made immediately after implant treatment?

After the implant is applied, the time of implant topping depends on the case. There are many factors that influence this situation. The area where the implant is applied (upper jaw or lower jaw) and the duration of toothlessness.

Are dental implants long-lasting?

Dental implants are treatments to replace your natural teeth. Implant teeth need to be cared for as carefully as you care for your natural teeth. People who have good oral hygiene and take good care of their teeth can use it for many years.

What is the advantage of dental implants over prosthetic dental bridges?

In prosthetic dental bridges, it is also necessary to crown the teeth next to the tooth gap to provide support for the prosthesis. It is necessary to make prosthetic teeth by reducing healthy teeth.
In implant treatment, it is not necessary to intervene in the adjacent teeth as the support is taken from the bone. In addition, bone support prevents the jawbone from melting in the long term. The implant acts as a tooth root and holds the jawbone.
