1. FAQs About Dental Implant Treatments
What is a dental implant and how does it work?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, usually made of titanium, placed into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. It fuses with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures. This allows for natural chewing, speaking, and an aesthetic appearance, much like a natural tooth.
Who is a suitable candidate for dental implants?
Generally, anyone in good overall health with sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums can be a candidate for implants. However, certain conditions like smoking or uncontrolled diabetes might affect suitability. For a detailed assessment, you can request a video consultation or visit our clinic.
How long does the dental implant procedure take?
The implant placement surgery typically takes 30-60 minutes for a single implant. Multiple implants or additional procedures (like bone grafting) may extend this time. The process of the implant fusing with the bone (osseointegration) can take 3-6 months. Your prosthetic teeth are placed after this healing period. For a step-by-step guide to the procedure, you can read our blog post: Step-by-Step Dental Implants Turkey Procedure.
Is implant treatment painful?
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. Factors affecting implant success include the quality of the implant, the surgeon’s experience, and the patient’s oral care habits. We use world-standard implant brands at our clinic.
What is the recovery process like after implant treatment?
Mild swelling, bruising, and pain are normal during the first few days after implant placement. Applying ice and taking prescribed medication can help alleviate these symptoms. The implant typically takes 3 to 6 months to fully fuse with the bone. Detailed information on what to expect during this period will be provided at our clinic.
Can dental implants be applied to all types of missing teeth?
When are bone grafting or sinus lifting procedures necessary?
Bone grafting (bone augmentation) or sinus lifting (lifting the sinus floor in the upper jaw) may be necessary when there isn’t enough bone volume or height in the jaw due to long-term tooth loss or certain medical conditions. These procedures are performed to provide sufficient bone support for implant placement.
