Implant replaces lost teeth both visually and functionally. Since it is fixed, it does not evoke the feeling of foreign body given by classical prostheses. Like other prostheses, it does not move in the mouth while speaking and chewing.
There are some important elements required for implant treatment. The most important of these is adequate bone amount and density. Because implants have a certain height and width. The quality of the bone is also an important condition for successful implant treatment. Another important point is that the gums are healthy. Just as your natural teeth are affected by oral health, this also applies to implants. Adequate and qualified amount of bone and healthy gums affect the success of the implant.
PROTECTS YOUR JAW BONE
Teeth are organs that feed the jawbone. In case of missing a tooth, the jawbone loses its support and the pressure exerted by the teeth on the jawbone during chewing is removed. This causes bone resorption in the area of the missing tooth. Since classical type prostheses do not replace the tooth root, bone resorption continues in this case. Implants support the jawbone like tooth roots and transmit the pressure on the tooth to the jawbone. Since implants are structures that imitate the root of the tooth, the bone and surrounding tissues surround the implant as it grasps the natural tooth root. In this way, bone resorption is prevented. The natural tooth root remains embedded in the jawbone. It ensures that the jawbone remains alive and maintains its size and density. An implant that replaces a missing tooth is also an artificial tooth root. It replaces the natural tooth root and undertakes its duties. In order for the natural tooth root to perform its functions successfully, the fusion called ‘osseointegration’ must occur. An implant with osseent can transmit masticatory loads directly to the bone. The dental implant is attached to the jawbone through the threads on it and ossifies between three weeks and two months.
IMPLANT GIVES NATURAL TOOTH FEEL!
Implant replaces lost teeth both visually and functionally. Since the implant is fixed, it does not feel like a foreign body given by conventional prostheses. Like other prostheses, it does not move in the mouth while speaking and chewing. Many people who complain about missing teeth or use classical dentures feel uncomfortable and insecure because of their teeth, some of them exhibit introverted moods and feel older than they are. Since the implant looks like a real tooth in terms of both function and aesthetics, patients begin to feel more comfortable and self-confident after the treatment.
PAINLESS AND LONG LASTING
Local anesthesia during tooth extraction is sufficient for the implant operation. During the surgical intervention, the patient does not feel any pain. Pain relief supplement that may occur after the operation is eliminated. The lifespan of implants is as long as that of natural teeth. After a successful implant treatment, they will stay in your mouth for many years without any problems as long as you care about your oral and dental health and take care of them properly. Implants that remain intact in the mouth for 30 years have been clinically identified.
YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT
In tooth deficiencies; It causes situations such as not being able to chew food enough, pain during chewing. The implant frees you from these restrictions. In addition, in the use of classical type prostheses, people often complain about the food particles escaping under the prosthesis and the inability to chew comfortably. The implant allows you to chew easily, and you can easily eat even hard and dry foods. The success achieved in implant surgery is more than 90 percent. If oral hygiene and care are given importance and regular controls are made after an implant treatment performed under correct and hygienic conditions in an mouth with suitable conditions for implant operation, there will be no problems with implants.
IT IS IMPLANT THAT CANNOT BE BRIDGEABLE
Classical bridge treatment is not possible in jaws with toothless posterior teeth, since there are no teeth necessary for bridge construction. For this reason, removable prosthesis is applied in classical methods in edentulous jaws. Thanks to the implants placed in the edentulous area at the back, fixed prostheses can be made instead of removable prostheses. In the absence of more than one tooth located side by side, even if there are natural teeth at the beginning and end of the edentulous area, the bridge to be made will be too long, and there is a possibility of bending and stretching. In addition, since the teeth to be used as bridge pillars will be exposed to too much force, the bridge will not be long-lasting. Implant treatment allows the construction of a more functional and long-lasting prosthesis in long edentulous areas.
THESE PROBLEMS REQUIRE IMPLANTS
• If you have difficulty in tasting with dentures covering your palate
• If your dentures are frequently dropped from your hands and broken while washing them.
• If the removable prostheses you use impair your speech
• If food residues escape under the dentures and bad odor occurs while eating
• If you can’t eat everything you want
• If the bridge feet you use are painful
• If your removable dentures are crooked in another part of your mouth every day
• If you cannot use your lower and upper dentures without adhesive
• If you think that the natural appearance will deteriorate when you make a bridge in the absence of a single front tooth.
• If one or more of your teeth are missing
• If you have no teeth
• If you have a missing tooth on the back of your jaw
• If you want to be protected from osteoporosis as a result of missing teeth
IMPLANT AND ORAL HYGIENE
The life of dental implants is directly proportional to regular and complete oral care, like natural teeth. After the implant application, attention is paid to oral and dental care and if regular dental checks are made, the duration of the implants in the mouth will be longer.
