Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. They are made of pure titanium, which is fully compatible with the human body. Implants are an ideal alternative to conventional dentures and promise long-term treatment solutions.
WHY SHOULD DENTAL IMPLANTS BE PREFERRED?
There is nothing better than our natural teeth!
A major drawback of bridge construction is that the adjacent or supporting teeth must be cut. In the case of dentures, a large portion of the soft gum tissue is covered by denture material, which may lead to bone resorption over time, reducing retention.
ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS AT A GLANCE:
- Healthy teeth do not need to be cut.
- Crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely fixed to the jaw.
- Chewing function and aesthetics are restored.
- Premature bone loss is prevented as there is no excessive pressure.
- Prosthetic options are expanded, eliminating the feeling of foreign objects.
- Just like natural teeth, speech, eating, and taste sensations are preserved.
- Quality of life is improved for long periods.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT IMPLANT TREATMENT
Q: Is implant treatment a painful procedure?
No, the surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the operation.
However, minor swelling and bruising in the operation area may occur for a short time after the procedure.
Q: How long does an implant operation take?
It usually takes between 30-60 minutes, but the duration may vary depending on the number of implants.
Q: Can I smoke during the procedure?
It is recommended to avoid smoking for at least two days. The substances in cigarettes can prolong the healing process of the affected area.
Q: How long does it take for the temporary tooth/implant to be removed, healing to occur, and for my final teeth to be placed?
The entire process typically takes between 2 to 5 months, depending on the duration of the implant procedure.
Q: How long will my implant last?
The implants used in our hospital’s Dental Department come with a lifetime guarantee.
