Implant Applications

Implants are screws made of biocompatible titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a tooth root. They can be successfully applied in the clinical environment under local anesthesia in cases of a single or multiple missing teeth. Implant applications can be performed under sedation or general anesthesia in patients who are worried about dental procedures. Often, implants are placed after the jawbone is exposed through an incision made in the gum, and then, stitches, that are to be removed one week later, are placed on the cut gum area. Following the operation, you will be able to have a problem-free recovery period with the help of following the doctor’s instructions and the prescribed medications. 

  

In general, implants integrate with the bone in an average of 2 to 6 months, depending on the bone area they are applied to and the bone density of the patient. At the end of this process, removable or fixed prosthesis can be applied on your implants. In addition to its functional and aesthetical benefits, implants prevent bone loss caused by tooth deficiency and ensure the continuity of form and structure in the jaws.
