Implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium placed in the edentulous jaw for the rehabilitation of missing teeth. Implant treatment can perform the rehabilitation of your missing teeth without any loss of substance in your other teeth.

 If bridge restoration is preferred in the prosthetic treatment of missing teeth, it requires preparation in a minimum of 2 teeth for 1 missing tooth. However, no preparation is required in any adjacent tooth in implant treatment.

Will I feel pain during and after implant treatment?

Since the edentulous jaw is anesthetized with local anesthesia, the patient does not feel pain during the operation. If the patient follows the medications and warnings given by the doctor after the operation, he or she will experience a comfortable recovery period.

Is there a relationship between implant treatment and general health status?

Uncontrolled blood glucose level (diabetes), smoking, osteoporosis or the use of some drugs that affect bone metabolism, and the use of anticoagulant drugs are diseases that should be carefully evaluated in implant treatments.

If the patient has one or more of these diseases, the patients are consulted to the medical doctor before the implant treatment.

When is the earliest time to go to the prosthesis stage after the implant is made?

After the implants are placed in the jawbone, at least 3-4 months are required for the prosthesis stage.
