When we lose one of our teeth, the natural balance in our mouth is easily disturbed and the following tooth losses accelerate. Implants are artificial tooth roots placed into the jawbone surgically and allows us to place prothesis on them as imitating the tooth roots. They are usually produced titanium or its compounds. In case where there is not enough bone tissue for implant replacement, bone graft is applied before implant placement. Once implant is placed, there is a waiting period of 3 to 6 months for integrating the implant and bone.
New generation implants are allow us to place temporary teeth/denture for the patients who do not want to be toothless during healing period.
Although implant treatment can be performed by trained dentists, it is actually the subject of dental surgeons. If possible, it is recommended that the treatment be performed by a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon. In case of multiple tooth loss, there is no need to replace every single tooth with an implant. With the All on Four and All on six systems applied to such cases, both functional and budget-friendly solutions could be find. After the clinical and radiological examination, the surgeon decides where the implants will be placed and the size of implants, considering the location of the bone structure, nerves and blood vessels.
In some cases, tooth extraction and implant placement are done at the same time, if there is no infection in the tooth. implant treatment is suitable for anyone missing one or more teeth. It is suitable for all ages and anyone who has completed bone development. It is an excellent alternative to removable dentures.

Why to use an implant? Who can use teeth implants?
- To stop your tooth from shifting into the empty space: When you lose a tooth, the surrounding tooth will eventually begin to move ın order to fill into the space. This can cause several dental complications. Roughly spaced or densed tooth ıs harder to keep ıt clean and could cost you a fortune in orthodontic care. Placing a dental implant now, will keep your tooth properly spaced and make it easy to keep ıt clean.
- To conserve your jawbone: If you choose the fixed bridge instead of getting a dental implant, your jawbone will eventually begin to declıne underneath the missing tooth. This occurs because you don’t receive adequate stimulation to the bone without a tooth root. The same situation occurs with dentures that are not implant-supported. If you ask yourself and wait to get a long time dental implants, the more tıme likely it is, that your jawbone may lack the integrity to get implants in the future without a dental bone graft.
