The expert medical staff at PYS Dent use the latest technologies to plan the most suitable solution for their patients. 👇

I. What is a Dental Implant and Who is a Candidate? 🤔

1. What is a Dental Implant?

Implants are artificial root screws, usually made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. The implant integrates with the bone (osseointegration) to form a solid foundation for the prosthetic tooth that will be placed on top.

2. What are the Advantages of Implant Treatment? ✨

• Natural Appearance and Feel: Implants restore chewing and speaking functions just like your natural teeth.

• Does Not Harm Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridge treatment, implants do not require adjacent teeth to be cut down.

• Preserves Jawbone: They prevent bone loss (resorption) in the area of tooth loss.

• Long-Lasting Solution: Can be used for life with proper care and regular check-ups.

3. Who is Implant Treatment Suitable for?

Generally, implants can be applied to anyone with sufficient jawbone structure and suitable general health. However, conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking may affect suitability. This suitability is determined by a detailed examination performed at PYS Dent Kayseri.

II. Step-by-Step Implant Treatment Process 🗓️

Implant treatment is usually completed in 3 main stages, with the total duration varying between 3 and 6 months.

1. Stage: Examination and Planning (Digital Step) 💻

• Detailed Analysis: The volume and density of your jawbone are analyzed in detail with intraoral examination, panoramic X-rays, and 3D tomographic images. This stage is critical for enhancing the success rate of PYS Dent.

• Personalized Plan: Our dentists determine all the details, such as how many implants are needed, the type of implant, and its position.

• Additional Procedures: If bone volume is insufficient, additional surgical procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifting may be planned at this stage.

2. Stage: Surgical Procedure (Implant Placement) 🔩

• Anesthesia: The procedure is performed completely painlessly and comfortably, mostly under local anesthesia.

• Placement: The gum is opened, the bed for the implant is prepared in the jawbone, and the titanium screw is placed. This procedure takes an average of 20-30 minutes for a single implant.

• Healing (Osseointegration): Typically, 2 to 6 months are waited for the implant to fully fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration).

3. Stage: Prosthetic Application (Placing the New Tooth) 😁

• Healing Check: After confirming that the implant has fully fused with the bone, an attachment piece called an abutment is placed on the implant.

• Prosthesis Preparation: A custom-made porcelain, zirconia, or hybrid prosthetic tooth is prepared by taking an impression of the mouth.

• Permanent Tooth: The prepared permanent prosthesis is placed onto the abutment, and the treatment is completed.
