Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants ?

Dental implants are artificial teeth placed in areas where teeth have been lost or traumatized for any reason. Implant treatment is performed in two main phases.

◉ Phase I
Implant surgery is performed to place a titanium implant into the jawbone. After the implant is placed in the jawbone, it takes a certain period of time for the localization to heal and for the implant to integrate firmly with the bone.

◉ Phase II
Dental restoration. At this time, a general dentist or an implant specialist will make a crown (a denture that fits over the tooth) to be attached to the implant. In this way, the implant treatment minimizes damage to the natural tooth and its surroundings.


What are the main advantages of implant dentistry ?

Implant dentistry has many advantages. First, implants are a viable option for patients to replace missing teeth. Implants can replace a single tooth or even an entire dentition. In addition, implants allow for more flexible restorative treatment options. Implants can support single crowns, bridges, and partial ・ dentures. Implants also improve the retention of poorly fitting partial ・ dentures and can support long span bridges that cannot be removed. They also improve nutritional ・ health by allowing you to taste your food better and chew a wider variety of foods more efficiently. Another great advantage is that with home care and regular professional dental cleanings, they can last as long as natural teeth.


Do implants require special care ?

Do implants require special care? Caring for implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Like natural teeth, you can use a toothbrush and floss. Of course, cavities are not possible, but be careful of surrounding bone loss, similar to periodontal disease. Your doctor will provide you with tools and guidance for better care. Annual X-rays are recommended to keep your implants in good condition. Professional dental cleanings are recommended at least three times a year. By following these instructions, you can extend the life of your implants.


What happens if a missing tooth is left untreated ?

One of the most common examples is the movement of adjacent or opposite teeth. A neighboring tooth or a tooth of the bite partner may move up or down and into the area where the tooth is missing. This can affect chewing function and tooth placement, which can lead to jaw joint pain, headaches, and migraines. The thickness and width of the bone in the area of the missing tooth will decrease, which may reduce future treatment options.

What is the minimum age for dental implant treatment ?

Minimum for implant surgery There is no minimum age requirement for implant surgery. However, there is an optimal time for implant treatment. There is no minimum age requirement for implant surgery, but there is an optimal time for implant treatment: after the patient is fully grown skeletally. This means that the patient has finished growing and has become an adult. The completion of skeletal growth can be determined by radiographic examination of the wrist.

How many teeth can implants replace ?

Implants can replace any tooth Any tooth can be replaced except for The number of implants needed depends mainly on the final treatment. For example, the number of implants needed to replace a crown, bridge, or denture is different.
