Dental Implant treatment is a process that should be followed very well before and after. It is a non-challenging treatment that requires precision not to be rushed and that is done practically based on professional experience.

First of all, when our patients come to their appointments, our specialist physicians are informed about the treatment. Our patient learns beforehand about the situations he will encounter during the application of the implant treatment.

Examination phase: The general health status of our patient is evaluated, and information about the serious ailments and treatments he has had in the past, if any, is obtained. If necessary, before the implant treatment, some examinations may be requested depending on the type of the ailments. If the patient is suitable for implant dental treatment in terms of general health, a detailed oral and dental examination is started. To date, the procedures and treatments on oral and dental health are listened in detail and the patient's demands are taken. As a result of physical examination and radiological examinations; It is determined that the implant tooth application will be applied to which teeth that have lost their function or to which teeth that have been completely lost before. It is checked whether the lower and upper jaw bones are sufficient for dental implants. This stage is very important and should be carried out meticulously by experienced physicians in Antalya, Turkey.

Treatment is a whole and at this stage;

• Whether the implant can be applied to the jawbone,
• Shape and length of the implant to be applied,
• If the jawbone is weak, whether or not germination treatment (bone powder treatment) will be required,
• Whether there is a need for any other treatment related to teeth and gums (scaling, teeth whitening, gingival recession, etc.) before implantation ,
• Which material, such as porcelain or zirconium, will be used to make the dental implant prosthesis,
• With digital imaging programs, prosthetic measurements of the implant tooth are taken and procedures such as how it will be aesthetically designed are determined.
• It is decided which of the products such as porcelain or zirconium will be used for the prosthesis, which is measured, and the measurements are sent to the laboratory for production.

Dental implant tooth operation stage in Antalya, Turkey:

If the patient has any of the above-mentioned procedures and treatments that need to be done before the operation begins, they are completed first. For the implant treatment, the patient's preparation phase is started. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia is applied so that the patient does not feel any pain while placing the implant. If the patient has a phobia against dental intervention, anesthesia can also be performed with drugs for sedation. Implant placement can be done in two ways.

First; If the patient does not want to be completely toothless during the healing process of the implant and the patient is suitable for this procedure, the dental implant is placed on the jawbone and a temporary prosthetic tooth is immediately placed on it in the same operation. The process of fusion of the implant tooth to the jawbone is followed.
Latter; With the flap operation (gingival lift operation), the gums are opened and the titanium implant screw is placed in the jawbone. The operation is completed by suturing the gums back onto the dental implant. The process of adaptation of the implant to the jawbone and healing of the gums is expected.
Stage of fusion of the dental implant to the jawbone: It is necessary to wait for a certain period of time for the dental implant to fuse and adapt to the jawbone in a healthy way. Dental implants placed in the upper jaw fuse and adapt to the jawbone for 5-6 months, and dental implants placed in the lower jaw up to 2-3 months. The gums are also completely healed during this time.

Placement of the intermediate element in Antalya, Turkey: The abutment, which we can describe as the intermediate element, which we have described in the implant topic, is placed on the implant. The procedure to be applied varies according to the preferred treatment method for this procedure. In some applications, the abutment is placed immediately on the implant, and sometimes after the implant is completely fused to the jawbone, an incision is made on the gum again to expose the upper part of the implant and the abutment is placed in this way. This varies depending on the course of the implant treatment by the specialist physician or the patient's desire to be toothless during the implant tooth application.

Stage of permanent prosthesis placement: After a healthy adaptation period, the permanent prosthetic tooth made of porcelain or zirconium, which is specially prepared for the patient from the laboratory, is placed on the implant that fuses to the jawbone, that is, the crown, which is the visible part of the implant tooth . Whether the implant is made in accordance with the measurements taken and how it is in the patient's mouth is controlled by the patient and the physician. If the patient is satisfied with the procedure, the implant treatment process is thus completed.
