ByDental implants are a dental technique that allows the replacement of a natural tooth with an artificial one.
An implant consists of a special screw made of titanium that, through surgery, is inserted into the bone replacing the root of the missing tooth.
The implant joins with the bone and after about a month will be able to support a ceramic capsule that will perfectly reproduce a real tooth.
Today, an implant can also be requested immediately after extracting a tooth, with an immediate-load implant surgery. This operation is in high demand by patients so that they can improve the aesthetic appearance of their smile.
It is also possible to install multiple implants in the same session. If necessary you can rebuild an entire arch, and in no time you will have healthy and aesthetically perfect teeth.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Compared with other treatments, implantology offers many advantages. In particular:
- Dental implants can replace one or more teeth up to the entire arch covering all its functions, from chewing to the aesthetic side.
- Dental implantology makes it possible to obtain teeth that are in characteristics and functionality similar to natural teeth.
- The probability of success is very high.
- Implants do not affect other teeth, unlike bridges.
- They manage to provide perfect stability and prevent atrophy.
- Very important advantage is durability: in most cases, implants last for several years. They can, therefore, be a permanent solution to the problem of edetulia.
What are the steps in the surgical procedure for implant placement?
The surgical insertion of dental implants is quick and is performed under local anesthesia in just a few minutes.
Let us now analyze how the procedure of dental implant placement is performed:
- The affected gingiva is anesthetized.
- A small incision is made in this area to separate the gingiva from the bone.
- Using a ball drill, the outer part of the bone is begun to be incised.
- When the hole is formed, it is enlarged with two more.
- The bone is hydrated throughout the operation to avoid heating.
- The hole is enlarged with a caliper drill to achieve the desired size.
- The implant is inserted inside the newly created gap.
- The implant is screwed in with the transport device.
- The device is removed.
- A screw is screwed to the dental implant that will help the gingiva during healing.
- Sutures will be applied to securely close the entire implant.
- When the work is completed, it will take about a month for the gingiva to regrow completely.
- The previously inserted screw is unscrewed.
- An impression of the implant’s position within the dentition is taken.
- The correct size of the new tooth is chosen.
- The sutures are removed after one week.
Is the surgery to place dental implants painful?
The surgery to insert dental implants in Turkey is not painful per se; much depends on the sensitivity and subjectivity of the patient.
For many professionals, this is an everyday operation that is performed in a short time.
Many patients imagine that this surgery is traumatic and may affect their future well-being, but this is actually not the case.
The surgery to place dental implants is carried out smoothly and without causing any particular pain to those who need to undergo this operation.
What are the risks of a dental implant?
Usually, dental implantology is a safe and minimally invasive treatment. Therefore, there are no particular risks. However, in some cases, it is possible that the patient may experience some postoperative discomfort, such as pain, bleeding and swelling of the gums.
It is always recommended to strictly follow the dentist’s instructions in order to speed up the healing process.
