Dental implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium or a titanium-based material (prepared from titanium compounds), which is placed to replace missing teeth in the mouth. Titanium is preferred as an implant material because it does not interact with body tissues and is well accepted, and the bone can also grow against it. Implants can be placed in the socket left by a previously lost tooth, or in the tooth socket immediately after a tooth has been extracted, provided there is no serious infection.
Your overall oral health and gum health will be examined. If there is a problem, it must be treated before the implant is placed. To assess the shape, height, thickness and quality of the bone at the implant site, a radiographic examination must be carried out. In our clinic, 3D X-rays (tomography) are taken for this purpose to prevent errors, and your treatment is planned according to the measurements taken from them.
Aren't X-rays enough?
Panoramic X-rays, which provide general information about oral health, give only two-dimensional information and cannot deliver clear results in terms of measurement. For this reason, volumetric dental tomography scans are used when planning implant treatment. Bone and soft tissue details that cannot be seen on normal X-ray films can be seen with tomography, and the quality of the treatment can be improved.
What is the purpose of an implant?
The main purpose of an implant is that new teeth can be placed on it.
It is a treatment option that forms the basis for highly successful long-term solutions, especially for people with no teeth. Many people are concerned about implant treatment because it involves a surgical stage. In fact, it is generally comfortable. It has a natural and positive effect in daily life and lasts a very long time, or even a lifetime. Your confidence returns, and you can eat, drink and laugh in daily life without restriction.
Is an implant only suitable for the lower jaw?
An implant is suitable for both the lower and the upper jaw, wherever it is needed. Implants are also suitable for people who already have dentures. Switching from dentures to clip-on dentures is also possible, which is why people come to see the benefits of clip-on dentures on implants. Clip-on dentures are fully reimbursed by many health insurers, subject to a personal contribution!
When is an implant not advisable?
An implant is not a replacement for a healthy root. Implants have many advantages and very few, if any, disadvantages, but a healthy root is always better than an implant. If there is no root at all, or the root has reached the end of its lifespan, then an implant is the best solution.
Is anaesthetic used?
The treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic, according to the patient's preference.
What if there is not enough jawbone?
Implants are placed in the jawbone where there is enough suitable bone to support fixed or removable prostheses. If the bone mass is not at the desired level, sufficient bone can be created before the implant is placed.
