It involves the process of placing root-shaped structures into the jaw bones in order to eliminate tooth deficiencies that occur due to various reasons. These structures are usually titanium-based and screw-shaped.

How is the Implant Applied?

The specialist dentist determines whether the patient is suitable for implant treatment. If it is concluded that the bone structure is suitable for implant treatment in the measurements made, the application phase is started. If the bone structure and gums are not able to carry the implant, additional bone surgery may be performed. The implants are placed into the bone by the dentist with a small surgical operation under local anesthesia. After this procedure, an average of 2-4 months is waited for the implant to fuse with the jawbone. In cases where the bone level is sufficient and there is no inflammatory condition, the implant can be placed in the area on the same day immediately after tooth extraction. During this time, the implant acquires the function of a real tooth root. In the last stage, the prosthesis is placed on the new tooth root formed by the implants and the treatment is completed.
