Tooth loss affects many conditions from chewing functions to speech functions of individuals. Especially when it comes to the complete loss of teeth, not partial, it becomes possible for the individual to be restricted in many ways and to encounter many negative situations. Thanks to dental implant applications, the individual can be provided with permanent teeth that he can use.
The problem of missing teeth may occur due to the individual’s lack of attention to oral health or traumatic situations such as accidents. The problem of missing teeth, which is a very disturbing problem, negatively affects the general appearance of the individual in addition to functions such as speaking and chewing. Dental implants are almost the only way to eliminate the problem of missing teeth in a way that will get permanent, effective and safe results. If the implant teeth are placed under the right conditions, it is ensured that the individual has teeth that he can use until the end of his life. In order to better understand what implant application is and how it offers a solution, it is necessary to have information about the anatomical structure and functions of the implant.
In some cases, the anatomical structure of the implant may vary depending on factors such as implant type and brand. However, in general, the anatomical structure of dental implants is designed to mimic the root of the tooth. Therefore, the most important part in the implant is the root part that acts as the artificial tooth root. By using materials such as suitable dental veneer material along with the body on this part, tooth function is compensated both visually and functionally.
Dental implant treatment is a treatment that can be suitable for many people. In particular, many individuals who are missing more than one tooth, whose chewing and speech functions are impaired, or who feel the need to eliminate the lack of teeth in terms of aesthetics, are considered suitable for dental implant treatment and benefit from implant application, which is the most suitable method within the scope of missing tooth treatment. However, in some extreme cases, it may be possible that the individual is not suitable for implant surgery in order not to risk both oral and dental health and general health. In order to have a preliminary opinion about whether you are a suitable candidate for dental implants, you need to have information about the candidate criteria determined for the application and the conditions that prevent the application.
The candidate criteria determined for dental implants can be explained in a few items.
The first of the obstacles for implant application is that the individual is under the age of 18. The main reason for this situation is that it is likely that a result cannot be reached with implant types, since both tooth and bone development may not be completed in individuals under the age of 18 . In addition, the fact that individuals suffer from health problems such as osteoporosis and that the bone density is not at the appropriate levels for the implant are among the conditions that prevent implant application.
The implant application process is usually completed by going through several stages. The first stage of the application process is usually to provide a comprehensive discussion between the dentist and the patient. During this interview, information is obtained about many conditions such as the general health status of the individual, the medications used and the needs of oral and dental health. In addition, an examination is carried out and a comprehensive planning is made by taking x-rays with medical imaging methods and having information about bone density. In line with this planning, surgical placement and preparation of the upper prosthetic structure can be started.
One of the most important stages of dental implant application is the surgical root placement stage. At this important stage within the scope of implant surgery, implant screws are placed in the jawbone in order to integrate the jawbone with the implant root. The osseointegration process usually takes a few months or a maximum of 6 months. After this process is completed, the preparation and installation of the prosthetic superstructure can be started.
For implant application, an abument is attached to the tooth after the implant roots are placed. This abutment provides the connection between the dental implant and the prosthetic superstructure. After the abument set, the prosthetic teeth are placed and the implant process is completed. The prosthesis on the implant is prepared in accordance with the general mouth structure in line with the wishes of the individual and material selection. In this way, it is ensured that the individual gets effective results in terms of both aesthetics and function.
When it comes to oral and dental health, one of the most important factors is that individuals do not experience tooth loss and have teeth that are both functional and aesthetically useful. Individuals who have experienced partial tooth loss for various reasons or who have completely lost their teeth can achieve advantageous results in many ways by applying to implant treatment, which is the most comprehensive application within the scope of missing tooth treatment.The advantageous results provided by implant teeth can be considered under several headings.
One of the basic rules of achieving both an aesthetic and natural appearance in the mouth area and especially when smiling is that the teeth are complete. Tooth loss can cause an individual to have an unaesthetic appearance when laughing, talking, and even not moving their mouth. This appearance disrupts the general aesthetic appearance of the individual and can even cause uncomfortable situations for many people, such as looking older than they are. In addition, tooth loss can even lead to speech problems, as it is a negative factor for conditions such as air circulation in the mouth and positioning of the tongue. Individuals who have permanent teeth with implant treatment can gain an advantage by getting rid of these problems.
Individuals with tooth loss, and especially individuals with no teeth, may begin to melt the jawbone. The main reason for this situation is that the chewing function is not used. In particular, thanks to quality implant types, it becomes possible for the individual to regain the chewing function as if they have their own main teeth, and therefore to indirectly prevent bone resorption in the jaw.
When it comes to dental implants, many people wonder about implant life.Most types of dental implants are designed for long-term use. A variety of implants, especially titanium implants, are suitable for long-term use. However, some factors affecting the life of the implant may cause even very high quality implants to become unusable in a short time. Therefore, it is necessary to have information about the do’s and don’ts after dental implants or oral and dental health care.
Things to consider after dental implant application can be explained in a few headings.
After dental treatments, including implant treatment, it is necessary to pay extra attention to oral hygiene and to undergo regular dental check-ups. In particular, you should use cleaning and care materials such as special toothbrushes, pastes or dental floss recommended by your dentist to properly care for the implant. Implant care is very important in terms of protecting your general oral and dental health and extending the life of your implants.
The lifespan of dental implants varies depending on the situation. Many different factors, such as the material of the implant types and how careful individuals will be about their oral health, are among the factors that affect the life of the implant. However, in general, dental implants are designed to be used for 20 – 26 years. Situations such as titanium implants can cause gum disease can shorten this average usage time. Therefore, if you want to have long-lasting dental implants, you should pay attention to issues such as implant selection and care.
When it comes to implant prices, there are multiple factors that determine the price. The main factors that determine implant prices are various factors such as the quality of the implant material, the type of prosthetic tooth veneer, the experience of the dentist and the number of implants. Each of these factors helps determine a clear price for dental implant treatment. Therefore, if you want to benefit from dental implant treatment and get a clear price for this health service, you need to talk to a dentist first.
Unfortunately, dental implant treatment is not a treatment that everyone can benefit from. Factors such as insufficient density of the jawbone and poor general health status of the individual may prevent dental implant treatment. For this reason, specialist dentists recommend that individuals with tooth loss have dental implants before losing their jawbone density. If you want to have a dental implant, you can benefit from implant treatment by consulting a dentist without wasting time.
You should not eat after dental implants. Especially the few hours after any of the dental implant stages is a sensitive process in which the individual experiences numbness throughout the mouth. Therefore, it is necessary not to eat or even drink anything for a few hours after the dental implant. In addition, in order not to strain the jawbone and the implant roots placed in the jawbone for a few days and even a few weeks after the dental implant, it is necessary to stay away from very hard and chewy foods and eat semi-solid and even liquid foods.
If the dental implant is not successful, some complications may be faced. In particular, it is possible to face unsuccessful results in dental implant treatments that are not performed under necessary conditions such as hygiene conditions, performed without using the right materials, or are not suitable for the individual. These unsuccessful results can manifest themselves with conditions such as infections in the gums and the inability of dental implants to adhere to the gums sufficiently. If you encounter these symptoms that indicate that dental implant treatment has failed, you should consult your dentist immediately.
Prostheses placed on top of the dental implant are usually carefully designed in such a way that they are indistinguishable from natural teeth. Especially thanks to the types of prosthetic veneers that are of high quality and efficient in terms of both aesthetics and durability, such as porcelain veneer prostheses, a functionality and aesthetic appearance that cannot be distinguished from natural teeth can be obtained. Therefore, if you do not want your implant dentures to be distinguished from natural teeth, you should choose a quality prosthesis option.
