Dental Implants
Think of dental implants as artificial tooth roots. Crafted from biocompatible materials like titanium, they’re surgically placed in your jawbone to fuse naturally. This creates a strong foundation for attaching crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering exceptional stability and support.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Implant Treatment
Is there a certain time for implant treatment?
If the bones are not strong enough to carry the implants, bone strengthening treatment is performed by the specialist physician before the application. Only after this treatment is completed and the patient is satisfied that he has bones suitable for the implants begins the main treatment. A time period of 2-4 months is needed to complete the implant treatment.
Can implant treatment fail?
Although it has been waited between 2 and 4 months for the implants placed in the bone to fuse with the bone, when it is determined that the implants still do not fuse, it means that the application in question has failed. The main reason for this problem, also known as implant failure, is that the bones are not strong enough to carry the implant. The examination of this should be done by a specialist physician before the application and additional treatments should be applied if deemed necessary. Otherwise, the risk of failure increases.
How long is the life of the implant application?
Implant teeth, like original teeth, are life-long if they are regularly cared for and oral hygiene is taken care of. Once implanted, it is possible to use it for many years without loss of function, and even to keep it in the mouth for a lifetime without any problems and health.
Is there any age limit for implant treatment?
The implant can be applied to anyone who has a tooth deficiency and whose existing bone structure is suitable for treatment. However, the important criterion here is that the bones have completed their development. Implants applied to bones that are still developing may cause problems after a certain period of time, and these implants may need to be replaced. For this reason, the lower limit for implant treatment is 18 years of age. Anyone over the age of 18 can be implanted.
Is there a special care treatment for implanted teeth?
As with all other teeth, cleaning and care is very important in implant teeth. In fact, it can be said that these teeth are a little more important. Implant teeth should be brushed regularly and floss should be used if necessary. In order to ensure complete oral hygiene, mouthwash can also be done at certain intervals. Substances such as food residue accumulating around the implant may cause problems such as dental tartar and gingival recession in the long term. When these disorders are neglected, the situation can go as far as implant losses. Therefore, cleaning and care for implant teeth should never be neglected.
