Permanent Solution for Your Missing Teeth with Implant Treatment - Eftal Dent
Implant treatment uses artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth and to which prosthetic teeth are fixed. This modern treatment method significantly improves patients’ quality of life by offering function and aesthetics closest to natural teeth. As Eftal Dent Dental Clinic in Istanbul Bağcılar, we successfully apply this treatment with our expert surgeons and state-of-the-art equipment. These artificial roots, made from biocompatible materials like titanium, fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration) to create an extremely durable and long-lasting foundation. At our Bağcılar Implant center, personalized treatment plans are prepared to suit each patient’s needs.
What is Implant Treatment?
Implant treatment is a surgical procedure applied in cases of single or multiple missing teeth. In this procedure, a screw-shaped artificial tooth root made of titanium is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Over time, this artificial root fuses with the jawbone and functions like a natural tooth root. A prosthetic tooth (crown, bridge, or full denture) made of porcelain or zirconium is fixed onto this solid foundation. This treatment provides a more natural appearance, better chewing function, and ease of speech compared to traditional bridges and dentures. Among the Bağcılar Implant options, as Eftal Dent, we offer our patients the most current and effective solutions.
What are the advantages of implant treatment?
This treatment has many significant advantages for replacing lost teeth:
- Natural Look and Feel: The prosthetic teeth placed on top provide a look and feel very similar to natural teeth.
- Superior Function: Implant-supported prostheses fully perform chewing and speaking functions just like natural teeth.
- Jawbone Protection: It prevents or slows the bone loss that occurs after tooth extraction. The artificial tooth root stimulates the jawbone, helping to preserve bone density.
- Does Not Harm Adjacent Teeth: Unlike with dental bridges, there is no need to file down adjacent healthy teeth.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implant-supported prostheses can be used for a lifetime.
- Better Comfort: They are much more stable and comfortable than removable dentures.
- Increased Self-Confidence: It boosts self-confidence by eliminating the aesthetic concerns caused by missing teeth.
You can benefit from all of these advantages with implant treatment at Eftal Dent Dental Clinic in Istanbul Bağcılar.
Who is Suitable for Implant Treatment?
Most adults who are in good general health and have sufficient jawbone density are suitable candidates for this treatment. However, some factors can affect its success:
- Sufficient Jawbone: There must be adequate bone volume and density in the area where the artificial tooth root will be placed. If necessary, this issue can be resolved with bone powder or bone grafting procedures.
- Healthy Gums: Having healthy gums reduces the risk of infection around the artificial tooth root.
- Controlled Systemic Diseases: It is important that certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes, are under control.
- Smoking: Smoking can negatively affect the success of the treatment.
- Oral Hygiene: Having good oral hygiene habits is critical for the longevity of the implant.
At Eftal Dent Dental Clinic in Istanbul Bağcılar, your suitability for this treatment is evaluated with a detailed examination.
Implant Treatment Process:
This treatment generally consists of several stages:
- Examination and Planning: The dentist performs a detailed examination and evaluates the jawbone structure using imaging methods such as X-rays and 3D tomography. The treatment plan is prepared specifically for the patient.
- Implant Placement: Under local anesthesia, the artificial tooth root is placed into the jawbone. This surgical procedure is usually short.
- Healing Process (Osseointegration): A healing period of several months is required for the artificial tooth root to fuse with the jawbone.
- Abutment Placement: After healing is complete, the connecting piece (abutment), to which the prosthetic tooth will be attached, is placed on the artificial tooth root.
- Attaching the Prosthetic Tooth: In the final stage, the specially prepared porcelain or zirconium prosthetic tooth (crown, bridge, or full denture) is fixed onto the abutment.
Eftal Dent supports its patients at every stage of the Bağcılar Implant process.
Implant Application Types
Various types of applications are offered to meet the needs of our patients:
-
Single Tooth Application: This is an ideal solution for patients who have lost a single tooth. In this method, an implant is placed in the root area of the missing tooth, and a porcelain crown that resembles a natural tooth is attached to it. One of the biggest advantages of this method is that it does not require any intervention on the adjacent healthy teeth. The single-tooth application provides a result closest to a natural tooth both aesthetically and functionally and ensures equal load distribution to other teeth during chewing.
-
Multiple Tooth Applications: This offers different options for patients who have lost more than one tooth. If multiple adjacent teeth are missing, an artificial tooth root can be placed for each tooth individually, or a bridge prosthesis can be supported using fewer artificial tooth roots. For example, in an area with three missing teeth, two implants can be placed to fix a three-unit bridge prosthesis. This method offers much more stable and comfortable use compared to removable dentures and helps to preserve jawbone health.
-
Full Jaw Solutions (All-on-4 / All-on-6): This is a revolutionary treatment method applied in completely toothless upper or lower jaws. In this technique, a fixed prosthesis covering the entire jaw is placed on just 4 or 6 implants inserted at special angles. In addition to offering much more stable and secure use compared to traditional removable dentures, it is generally completed in a shorter time and can reduce the need for bone grafting. All-on-4 and All-on-6 offer patients the opportunity to get new, fixed teeth quickly and effectively.
-
Zygomatic Applications: This is a specially developed solution for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who do not have enough bone volume for traditional artificial tooth root applications. In this method, implants that are longer than traditional artificial tooth roots are placed into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone). Since the cheekbone has a denser structure than the jawbone, it provides a stable and reliable support even in patients with severe bone loss. Zygomatic applications generally allow for the fixation of full-jaw prostheses without the need for extensive bone grafting procedures.
-
Mini Applications: These artificial tooth roots, which have a smaller diameter than standard ones, are used especially in areas with limited bone width or to support temporary prostheses. Additionally, mini artificial tooth roots can be used as temporary anchorage points in some orthodontic treatments. Their placement generally requires a less invasive procedure, and their cost is lower compared to standard artificial tooth roots. However, they may not always be suitable for permanent prostheses that require as strong support as standard artificial tooth roots provide.
-
Same-Day Implant Application: This is the procedure of placing an artificial tooth root in the same session, immediately after a tooth extraction. This approach can help shorten the treatment time and has the potential to minimize bone loss that occurs after tooth extraction. However, the applicability of this method depends on the condition of the extracted tooth and the health of the surrounding bone tissue. The dentist decides whether a same-day implant application is appropriate after a detailed evaluation.
-
Traditional Implant Application: This is the procedure of placing an artificial tooth root after waiting several weeks or months for the extraction site to heal completely. This traditional approach allows sufficient time for the bone and soft tissues to heal and enables the artificial tooth root to be placed on a healthier foundation. The traditional implant application is a preferred method, especially in cases where additional procedures like bone grafting are required, and it increases the chances of long-term success.
Anesthesia Methods Used in Implant Procedures
At Eftal Dent Dental Clinic in Istanbul Bağcılar, various anesthesia methods are applied during this treatment to ensure patient comfort:
- Local Anesthesia: This is the most commonly used method. It only numbs the treatment area, and the patient is awake during the procedure.
- Sedation: With conscious sedation or deep sedation methods, the patient is relaxed and feels less stress during the procedure.
- General Anesthesia: This may be preferred for more extensive surgical procedures or in special cases. The patient is put completely to sleep.
Our dentists determine the most appropriate anesthesia method according to the patient’s general health condition and preference.
Things to Consider After Implant Placement
To ensure a smooth healing process after this treatment, it is important to pay attention to a few points:
- Following the instructions given by the dentist.
- Applying a cold compress for the first few days.
- Eating soft foods.
- Paying attention to oral hygiene and using mouthwash as recommended by the dentist.
- Avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption.
- Staying away from strenuous physical activities for a while.
- Attending regular check-ups.
