Dental Implants
On this page you will find answers to the questions we are asked most often about implant treatment. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, please get in touch.
Losing a tooth affects more than appearance.
The teeth on either side of the gap gradually tilt into it, the tooth in the opposing jaw over-erupts and chewing balance is lost. In the area where there is no tooth root, the jawbone also begins to dissolve over the years.
An implant is a titanium screw placed in the jawbone that takes the place of the lost tooth root. The crown fitted onto it closes the gap without reducing the neighbouring teeth, and restores chewing function.
Implant treatment, explained on TV8
On the programme Günaydın Doktor, broadcast on TV8, Dt. Eliz Engin Işık explained implant treatment: who it is suitable for, how the surgical procedure goes, and what to pay attention to during healing. You will find the answers to your questions in the video.
Neighbouring Teeth Are Preserved
A bridge requires reducing the healthy teeth on either side. With an implant, the neighbouring teeth are left untouched.
The Jawbone Is Supported
In an area without a tooth root, bone dissolves over time. By loading the bone, an implant slows this down.
Natural Chewing
Because it is fixed, it does not move about like a removable denture. You can chew hard foods.
How does implant treatment work?
The process depends on your bone structure and the number of implants to be placed. The steps below show the general flow.
