Implants
The screw made of titanium metal, which is placed in place of the lost teeth for treatment and has no side effects for the person. This means it can function like a natural tooth after completing its combination with the bone tissue. This is called an implant.
The tooth made on the implant looks like your natural tooth and performs just like a normal tooth would.
The implant can be applied to any patient with a good general health condition. It is not preferred in young individuals who have not completed their bone development. In order for dental implants to be long-lasting, there must be a solid jawbone of a certain thickness and size around it. There is no upper age limit for implant application.
In order for dental implants to remain healthy against the pressures caused by chewing, they must be in full harmony with the jawbone. The complete surrounding of the placed implant with bone is called osseointegration
In order for dental implants to remain healthy against the pressures caused by chewing, they must be in full harmony with the jawbone. The complete surrounding of the placed implant with bone is called osseointegration.
For osseointegration, a period of at least 3, at most 6 months is required after the operation, depending on the type of operation, region, age and health status of the patient. When this period is completed, a suitable prosthesis is made on the implant.
What are the benefits of implant application?
-Saves patients from using movable prosthesis. Patients can regain their fixed teeth. The comfort of eating an apple can be achieved by biting it.
-Implant transplantation is a very useful treatment method in terms of saving the healthy teeth that will be used as abutments when making a bridge in partial tooth deficiencies.
-Incases of total edentulism, placing approximately 2-4 implants under the total dentures, maximizing the retention of the dentures is a very relaxing treatment method for the patients. In this way, the prosthesis does not move, does not cause punctures and wounds, and does not cause any discomfort as food does not get under it.
-Implants restore function and aesthetics without disturbing the integrity of adjacent teeth in single tooth deficiencies.
-Patients using over-implant prostheses say that their chewing force has increased by 85% within 2 months compared to their removable prosthesis. This rate rises to 300% after three years.
-Implant-based removable dentures and bridges function very closely to natural teeth.
-There is no such thing as rotting of implants. There is no cold-hot sensitivity. The patient can use the implant as their own tooth, brush and floss.
All-on-four implant application
All-on-4 treatment concept is a technique in which a fixed full chin prosthetic restoration is made on 4-6 implants on the same day as the surgical operation. It provides the patient satisfaction by taking into account function, aesthetics, taste, speech and self-confidence.
How is All-On-4 treatment performed?
Titanium screw mechanism in conventional implants is used in All-on-4 treatment. The biggest difference between conventional implants and All-on-4 implants; how they are positioned in the mouth. While 8 or 10 implants are used to replace missing teeth in a completely edentulous jaw, only 4 implants are sufficient with this new technique.
In the anterior part, 2 implants are placed in the thickest part of the bone, and 2 implants are placed in the posterior part of the jawbone. While the anterior implants are placed at a 90 degree angle, the posterior implants are placed at a 45 degree angle for maximum stability. The next step after these 4 implants are placed, bridges or crowns are placed on the implants.
What are the advantages of All-On-4 treatment?
With All-on-4, the treatment is completed in a short time and it is possible to quickly regain a healthy appearance. It is more economical than the traditional implant method for patients who are completely edentulous or are likely to be completely edentulous. Angled implants take support from the area with better bone quality and prevent damage to anatomical structures.
