An implant is a screw-shaped artificial tooth root made of titanium. It is placed in the jawbone and integrated into the bone. On this solid foundation, a prosthetic tooth is attached and an aesthetic and functional smile is achieved.

How is an Implant Tooth Made?

Implant tooth construction is performed by specialized physicians. First, oral and dental health is evaluated, then an implant of the appropriate diameter and size is selected according to the bone structure in the required area and placed in the bone. After the implant screws are placed, the healing process begins. At the end of this period, prosthetic teeth are attached.

What are the Types of Implants?

Implant treatment offers solutions for the needs and preferences of individuals with different types. Each type of implant provides special advantages in terms of aesthetic appearance and functional use. Implant types include options such as zirconium implants, All On Four (All On 4) and All On Six (All On 6). Zirconium implants combine aesthetics and durability, while All On Four and All On Six provide fast and reliable replacement of missing teeth.

What is a Zirconium Implant?

Zirconium implants are specially designed implants that combine durability and aesthetic appearance. Thanks to their white color, they blend in perfectly with natural teeth. Zirconium also minimizes the risk of allergic reactions.

What is All On Six (All On 6)?

The All On Six method is a treatment option in which fixed prostheses are fitted with the help of six implants. The All-on-6® treatment concept allows patients who have lost all their teeth or need to have all their teeth extracted due to advanced decay or bone loss to have the same gun teeth extracted, implants made and temporary fixed teeth inserted in a more natural and unrestricted way. It offers long-lasting results by providing high stability and durability.

What is All On Four (All On 4)?

The All On Four method is a treatment option in which prostheses are fixed to four implants placed at a special angle in the edentulous jaw. It is the form of the all-on-six treatment concept with 4 implants. This treatment option is considered in cases where there is not enough volume in the jawbone. This method offers fast healing and reliable results, allowing you to quickly achieve a solid smile.

How Does Implant Treatment Work? What are the Treatment Stages?

Implant treatment requires a gradual process. The implant process begins with an examination and x-ray evaluation of the jawbone condition. After the implant screws are placed, the healing process is expected. In the last stage, prosthetic teeth are specially prepared and fitted. Here are the implant stages:

Consultation and Evaluation

Before starting implant treatment, it is important to have a consultation with a specialized dentist. Your dentist will assess your general health, examine your oral structure and decide whether implant treatment is right for you.

Planning and Imaging

Digital imaging methods are used when creating a treatment plan. The jawbone structure and other tissues are examined in detail with imaging techniques such as X-rays and dental tomography. At this stage, it is important to determine the position of the implant.

Surgical Phase Implant Placement

The surgical stage is when the implant screws are inserted into the jawbone. It is performed under local anesthesia and implants are inserted into the jawbone in the appropriate position through surgical incisions. The implant screws are designed to hold onto the bone throughout the healing process.

Recovery Process

A healing process is necessary for the implant screws to integrate with the jawbone. This process can take 2 to 6 months. Temporary dentures can be used during the healing process.

Temporary or Permanent Prosthesis Kit

When the healing process is complete, permanent dentures are attached to the implant screws. The dentures are shaped according to the material and design recommended by your dentist. When the dentures are completed, you will have a healthy and aesthetic smile.

Monitoring and Maintenance

Regular check-ups after implant treatment are important. Your dentist will monitor the condition of the implants and your oral health. You can also ensure the longevity of the implants with regular oral care.

What are Aesthetic Implant Options?

How is an Anterior Tooth Implant Performed?

Implant construction creates a strong foundation with artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone, while a bridge fills missing teeth by relying on neighboring teeth. Our specialist dentists will help you choose the most suitable treatment option for your situation.

It is important to nourish your body during the post-implant eating process. You can support the healing process by choosing foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Consuming balanced foods such as fish, chicken, vegetables and fruits will help your body to strengthen. It is important to be careful with hot and cold foods as there may be sensitivity in the jaw area in the first days. Excessively hot or cold foods can increase sensitivity.
