Dental Implants for Permanent and Aesthetic Solution
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone to replace lost teeth. Dental implants, which are the closest alternative to natural teeth in terms of aesthetics and function, offer a permanent solution to eliminate tooth deficiencies. Mete Dental Clinic offers the highest quality service to its patients with its expert staff and state-of-the-art equipment in dental implant applications. Read on to learn more about the advantages of dental implants, application steps and post-treatment care.
What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are titanium screw-shaped artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to restore the function and aesthetics of lost teeth. Dental implants can be used for both single tooth deficiencies and multiple tooth loss. The dental implants used at Mete Dental Clinic are made of the highest quality materials and are long-lasting.
Implant Treatment in Single Tooth Deficiencies
Implant treatment for single tooth deficiencies is a treatment method that replaces a lost tooth with an artificial tooth root. This treatment begins with the placement of an implant made of titanium in the area where the tooth was lost. The implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a solid foundation. This process can take several months, and once completed, a porcelain or zirconium crown is placed over the implant, mimicking the shape and color of the natural tooth. Single tooth implant treatment at Mete Dental Clinic is an ideal solution to restore the natural appearance and function of the tooth. In single tooth deficiencies, implant treatment protects dental health and maintains the integrity of the teeth, as it does not require any intervention to neighboring teeth. This method also offers excellent aesthetic results, allowing patients to smile with confidence.
Implant Full Crown
An implant full crown refers to the placement of a full coverage crown over a dental implant. This treatment method is performed using a crown that is placed over the implant in the area of tooth loss and mimics the natural structure of the tooth. The full crown is placed tightly over the implant, restoring chewing function and aesthetic appearance. Implant full crown treatment at Mete Dental Clinic is performed using durable materials such as high quality porcelain or zirconium. These materials best mimic the natural appearance and function of the tooth. Full crowns cover the entire surface of the tooth, ensuring durability and longevity. They also offer a natural look by replicating the color and shape of the teeth exactly. Implant full crown treatment provides a long-term solution as well as restoring the function and aesthetics of the missing tooth.
Implant Total Prosthesis
Implant total dentures are prostheses that are fixed on multiple implants placed in the jawbone in cases where all teeth are lost. This method offers a safer and more comfortable use compared to traditional total dentures. In the implant total denture treatment applied at Mete Dental Clinic, more than one implant is placed in the lower and/or upper jaw and these implants are used to fix the denture. In this way, the dentures can be used stably without slipping and moving in place. Implant total dentures provide confidence and comfort in daily activities such as speaking, eating and laughing. It also supports the jawbone, preventing bone loss and helping to preserve facial structure. This treatment significantly improves the quality of life of patients by offering the closest results to natural teeth, both aesthetically and functionally.
Advantages of Dental Implants
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. Aesthetically satisfying results are achieved by using materials compatible with the gums.
Preservation of Functionality: Implants function like a normal tooth, restoring chewing function. This ensures that you do not experience any discomfort when eating or speaking.
Preventing Bone Loss: Dental implants prevent bone loss because they are placed in the jawbone. By functioning like natural tooth roots, it protects the health of the jawbone.
Durability and Longevity: Dental implants can be used for a lifetime with proper care. The high-quality implants used at Mete Dental Clinic offer long-term durability.
Dental Implant Treatment Process
Dental implant treatment at Mete Dental Clinic requires a comprehensive planning and careful implementation process. Here are the basic steps of dental implant treatment:
1. Initial Examination and Planning
The first step in dental implant treatment is a thorough examination and a detailed planning process. At Mete Dental Clinic, the dentist uses x-rays and other imaging techniques to assess the cause of the missing tooth and the condition of the jawbone. During this examination, the bone density and quality in the area where the implant will be placed is examined. The planning phase is crucial for a successful implant placement.
2. Implant Placement
After the initial examination and planning phase, the dental implant is placed in the jawbone. During this procedure, local anesthesia is applied to ensure patient comfort. After the implant is placed, the patient waits a few months for the bone to grasp and consolidate the implant. In this process, the implant is fused with the jawbone and a solid foundation is created for the prosthetic tooth to be placed on the implant.
3. Healing Process and Temporary Prosthesis
After the implant is placed, the healing process begins. In this process, the implant is fused with the jawbone and the gum heals. At Mete Dental Clinic, advanced technologies and sterilization methods are used to accelerate the healing process and minimize the risk of infection. During the healing process, temporary prostheses are applied to patients to provide an aesthetic and functional solution.
4. Permanent Prosthesis Application
After the healing process is complete, a permanent prosthetic tooth is placed over the implant. These dentures are specially designed to match the patient’s natural tooth color and shape. The permanent dentures used at Mete Dental Clinic are made of high quality materials and offer an aesthetically natural appearance. The application of permanent dentures is done with precision to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of the patients.
Care After Dental Implant Treatment
The success of dental implant treatment depends on post-treatment care and hygiene. At Mete Dental Clinic, patients are given detailed care instructions after implant treatment:
Regular Brushing and Flossing: The areas around the dental implants should be brushed and flossed regularly. This prevents plaque buildup and infection.
Regular Dental Checkups: Regular dental check-ups are important to maintain the health of dental implants. At Mete Dental Clinic, the condition of the implants is monitored with regular checks after implant treatment.
Healthy Nutrition and Reducing Smoking: To ensure the longevity of the implants, a healthy diet should be adopted and smoking should be avoided. Smoking can negatively affect the fusion of the implant with the jawbone
Recommendations for the Longevity of Dental Implants
- Pay Attention to Oral Hygiene: To prolong the life of dental implants, it is essential to pay attention to oral hygiene.
- Don’t Neglect Regular Checkups: Keep track of the condition of your implants by scheduling regular checkup appointments with your dentist.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid hard and sticky foods to prevent damage to the implants.
