Implant treatments are an effective dentistry treatment method used to achieve the closest aesthetic and functional results to natural teeth in cases of tooth loss. Dental implants are screw-like structures made of titanium or titanium alloys and are surgically inserted into the jawbone. These implants form a solid foundation by integrating with the jawbone and ensure that the prostheses applied on it are held in a fixed manner.

Implant treatments can be used for a wide range of conditions, from single missing teeth to complete edentulism. They basically fall into two main categories:

1. Single Implant Treatment:

This treatment method, which is used in case of single tooth deficiency, is applied to replace a single tooth. After the dental implant is placed in the jawbone, a specially designed prosthesis is mounted on it. In this way, the lack of a single tooth is successfully completed aesthetically and functionally.

2. Multiple Implant Treatment:

Multiple implant treatment is applied in cases where one or more teeth are missing. Prostheses supported by multiple implants create a solid foundation and restore the function of missing teeth. This method can be applied with bridge prostheses or implant-supported removable prostheses.

Implant Treatment Stages:

  • Examination and Planning: The first step is for the dentist to evaluate the patient's oral structure and make a plan for implant treatment. The patient's general health status, jawbone structure and aesthetic preferences are taken into consideration at this stage.
  • Implant Placement: The implant placement phase involves a surgical procedure. The dentist places the implants in the jawbone under local anesthesia. The implants combine with the jawbone to form a strong bond.
  • Recovery Process: A healing process is necessary for the implants to integrate with the jawbone. This can often take several months. It is important that the patient follows the dentist's instructions throughout the healing process.
  • Impression and Prosthesis Design After the implants have healed, the dentist takes impressions and designs a custom prosthesis. This design is prepared in accordance with the patient's oral structure and aesthetic preferences.
  • Application of the prosthesis: The specially designed prosthesis is securely mounted on the implants. The fit, aesthetic appearance and chewing function of the prosthesis are checked.
  • Controls and Maintenance: Regular check-ups are important after implant treatment. The dentist assesses the condition of the implants and prosthesis and makes maintenance recommendations if necessary.

Advantages of Implant Treatments:

  • Natural Appearance: Implant treatments offer the closest aesthetic results to natural teeth. Prostheses successfully complement the patient's smile aesthetics with their material selection and design.
  • Functional Improvements: The implants integrate with the jawbone, creating a strong foundation and restoring chewing function.
  • The Long Term Solution: Implants offer a long-term solution as long as they are correctly placed and regularly maintained.
  • Jawbone Protection: Implants protect the jawbone and prevent its loss by increasing the pressure on the jawbone.
  • An Alternative to Removable Prostheses: Implant treatments offer a stable and reliable alternative for patients who have experienced the difficulties of removable dentures.

Implant treatments minimize the aesthetic and functional effects of tooth loss, giving patients a solid smile and the feeling of natural teeth. The implant treatment method to be applied for each patient is determined according to individual needs and tooth structure. Individuals considering implant treatment can determine the most appropriate treatment plan as a result of detailed evaluations with their dentists.

What is Implant Treatment?

Implant treatment is a dentistry method used for the treatment of tooth loss. Basically, one or more lost teeth are replaced with artificial tooth roots consisting of screw-like structures called implants made of titanium or titanium alloy. These implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and over time they fuse with the jawbone to form a strong bond.

Implant treatment is applied to solve aesthetic, functional and health problems caused by missing teeth. Implants, which replace lost teeth, provide a similar appearance and function to natural teeth. This treatment offers a longer-term solution than other alternatives and improves patients' smile aesthetics, chewing function and speech ability.

How is Implant Treatment Performed?

Implant treatment usually consists of several stages and is tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Implant treatment generally includes the following steps:

  • Examination and Planning: Implant treatment begins with a detailed examination by the dentist. The patient's oral structure, general health status and the causes of tooth loss are evaluated. The structure of the jawbone is examined using necessary X-rays and other imaging methods. Based on this information, a plan for implant treatment is created.
  • Implant Placement: The second stage of implant treatment is the surgical placement of the implants in the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. The dentist places the implants in the jawbone in the correct position and depth. The implants combine with the jawbone and begin the osteointegration process.
  • Healing Process (Osteointegration): After the implants are placed, the healing process begins. This process allows the implants to integrate with the jawbone. The osteointegration process usually takes a few weeks to a few months.
  • Impression and Prosthesis Design After the healing process is complete, the dentist prepares a customized prosthesis by taking impressions and designing the teeth. This prosthesis is designed in accordance with the patient's oral structure and aesthetic expectations.
  • Prosthesis Production: Prosthesis is produced in the laboratory environment using impressions and design. Dentures are usually made of porcelain or ceramic materials and provide an aesthetic appearance similar to natural teeth.
  • Application of the prosthesis: The manufactured prosthesis is securely mounted on the implants. The fit, aesthetic appearance and chewing function of the prosthesis are checked. If any corrections or adjustments are needed, they are made at this stage.
  • Final Checks and Maintenance: After the implant treatment is completed, the patient is recommended to come for regular check-ups. The dentist assesses the condition of the implants and prosthesis and makes maintenance recommendations if necessary.

Implant treatment is a reliable and long-term solution that provides effective treatment of missing teeth. However, every patient is different and a detailed examination and planning is necessary to assess suitability for implant treatment.

Implant Treatment in Bone Deficiencies: Aesthetic and Functional Solutions

Dental implants are one of the modern dentistry practices that offer a highly effective and long-term solution to treat missing teeth. However, in some cases, jawbone deficiencies can make implant treatment difficult. Bone deficiencies can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as missing teeth, periodontal disease, trauma or genetic factors. In this case, it is important to identify bone deficiencies in advance and apply appropriate solutions for successful implant treatment.

Causes of Bone Deficiencies:

  • Tooth Loss and Bone Loss: Lack of teeth can lead to bone loss in the jawbone over time. This can prevent the implant from integrating securely.
  • Periodontal Diseases: Periodontal diseases can cause serious damage to the gums and jawbone. These damages can affect implant treatment.
  • Traumas and Injuries: Trauma or injury to the jaw area can cause damage to bone tissue, making implant treatment difficult.
  • Genetic Factors: In some cases, bone density may be low due to genetic factors, which can affect implant treatment.

Solutions to Bone Deficiencies:

  • Bone Graft: Bone grafting is a method used to develop insufficient bone tissue for implant treatment. The graft material can be taken from the patient's own body or it can be synthetic. The bone graft promotes bone formation around the implant.
  • Sinus Lift: If the maxillary sinus cavity is enlarged in case of tooth deficiency in the upper jaw, a sinus lift procedure can be performed. In this procedure, bone graft is added into the maxillary sinus cavity, thus creating sufficient bone tissue in the area where the implant will be placed.
  • Alveolar Ridge Expansion: Alveolar ridge widening is a technique used when the jawbone is narrow. In this procedure, more bone space is created in the area where the implant will be placed by surgical interventions that allow the jawbone to expand.
  • Distal Osteotomy Distal osteotomy involves cutting and reshaping part of the jawbone in the area where the implant will be placed. This is a surgical procedure used to treat bone deficiencies.

Implant Treatment Process in Bone Deficiencies:

  • Examination and Planning: The treatment of a patient with bone failure begins with a detailed examination and radiological evaluation. The dentist analyzes the bone condition and determines the appropriate treatment plan.
  • Treatment of Bone Insufficiency: Depending on the treatment method determined during the planning phase, procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lift, alveolar ridge augmentation or distal osteotomy are performed. These procedures eliminate bone insufficiency and allow the implant to be placed on a more solid foundation.
  • Implant Placement: After the bone deficiency is eliminated, the implants are placed with appropriate surgical techniques. The implants integrate with the bone and form a strong bond.
  • Recovery Process: Following the placement of the implants, the healing process begins. This process allows the implant to integrate with the jawbone. The healing process can usually take several weeks to several months.
  • Prosthesis Design and Application: After the healing process is complete, a prosthesis suitable for the patient's oral structure is designed and applied. The prosthesis is prepared in accordance with aesthetic and functional requirements.
  • Checks and Maintenance: After completion of implant treatment, regular check-ups and proper care are important. Regular check-ups with the dentist allow the patient to monitor the condition of the implants and prosthesis.

Bone deficiencies can be successfully treated with modern dentistry techniques and surgical methods. Individuals with bone deficiency should consult with an experienced dentist to determine the appropriate treatment plan. Implant treatment is a reliable solution that can successfully compensate for aesthetic and functional losses due to bone deficiencies.
