Implant Treatments

Implants; Artificial tooth roots, which are the most reasonable alternative to your teeth, usually prepared from titanium or titanium compounds, in order to replace missing teeth in the mouth for various reasons with prosthesis. In case of missing teeth, healthy teeth can be made without the need for any operation on the adjacent teeth. Implants are made of high-tech titanium, which is accepted by body tissues and is extremely durable. Implants are available for a lifetime, except for extraordinary circumstances.

The quality of the bone is one of the factors affecting the success of the implant. At the same time, the gum area should be completely healthy before the treatment and as long as the implant remains in the mouth.

One of the most important factors affecting success during implant application is bone structure. The consultant must have a suitable bone tissue for the implant. Detection of bone tissue should be determined by specialist physicians and then implant planning should be done. Before the implant application, clinical and examination must be done.

If the bone structure and health status of the person is suitable, there is no upper age limit for the implant. Implant application is not preferred only in very young patients whose bone development has not yet been completed.

In cases where the treatment is completed without any problems, the patients are so comfortable that they do not even feel the presence of the implants. During the implant application, general or local anesthesia can be used according to the patient’s preference.

Before the implant treatment and as long as the implant remains in the mouth, the gums must be healthy. In order to ensure the full integration of the implants with the bone, the loads on the implant should be minimized during the first 3-6 months, which is the healing period.

Smoking can increase the risk of infection, especially during early recovery. Smoking is not recommended for this.
As the treatment of the infected areas in the tooth passes, the caries progresses towards the tooth nerves and causes the nerves inside the tooth to become infected. Inflammation of the dental nerves causes the person to complain of toothache and loss of the tooth in the advanced stage.

The tooth nerve removed from the tooth is not vital for dental health and function, it prevents the person from feeling pain. It is a sensory nerve used only for the perception of heat and cold. If the treatment is not applied, abscesses may occur with the infection of the tissue surrounding the tooth.

After root canal treatment, tooth sensitivity or pain during chewing may occur for a few days. This is a normal condition that occurs after root canal treatment. Teeth may become brown, pink, or gray as a result of trauma or root canal treatment. If the cause of the discoloration is trauma, root canal treatment is performed first and then bleaching is applied. If the discoloration has occurred after root canal treatment, the tooth is examined by X-ray. If there is no problem in root canal treatment, bleaching is done. Otherwise, the root canal treatment is renewed first and then the whitening process is started.

The success rate of root canal treatments applied by the endodontist with the right method reaches 98%. Root canal treatment is a method that can be applied by all dentists in our country and in the world. People who have a postgraduate education on this subject are called Endodontists. Freelance dentists work in collaboration with Endodontists and seek help when they deem it necessary to ensure that their patients are treated in the best possible way.
