What is a dental implant procedure?

A dental implant procedure where a screw made of titanium metal is placed in the jawbone to support a prosthesis tooth is a common treatment. Also referred to as teeth implants, this method is the most preferred technique to use when there is a single or multiple missing teeth and for tooth restoration. The dental implant results are permanent. Unlike dentures, implants are fitted directly into the gums since they hold the false teeth in place and do not move or slip. The procedure is normally performed by an experienced dentist or oral surgeon, who focuses on implant placement and it is normally painless during the procedure. Side effects are rare and manageable (https://www.mdpi.com/2673-1592/4/4/44).

Dental implant types?

Dental implants are divided into several types with the division primarily based on the state of the patient’s conditions and demands. Endosteal implants are placed in the jawbone and are manufactured of titanium. They are the implants that are placed below the gum but above the bone for patients who have minimal bone thickness. The zygomatic implants are a little complex and are screwed into the cheekbones because the upper jaw bone is generally not strong enough to support the conventional implants. Mini dental implants are narrower in size than the conventional ones and are mainly used in anchorage of the lower denture. https://meridian.allenpress.com/joi/article/47/5/437/440980/Rationale-for-Mini-Dental-Implant-Treatment The last one is all on 4 where the dentist will place four implants to support the whole set of teeth, that is ideal when it comes to full mouth rehabilitation.

Candidates for dental implants

The tooth implant process is appropriate for anybody with one or more missing teeth, or damaged teeth and who prefers not to wear a denture. If you have teeth that cannot be restored by fillings or crowns and other means, implants will provide a permanent solution. This procedure is suitable for those people who desire natural smile-like teeth and those who have used dentures and have experienced challenges with the dentures. You need to have strong gums and adequate bone in your jaw that will support the implant and its functions. It is also undesirable to have severe and stagnant illnesses like uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension as these obstruct rehabilitation. The best dental implant candidates are those who are over eighteen years of age. High blood pressure and serious heart diseases are also contraindicated with the surgery because they can cause some complications and slow down the healing process, therefore you should see your dentist if you have any of these conditions.

Benefits of dental implants

A single dental implant has several dental implants advantages.

Natural look and feel: Dental implants are designed to mimic the natural teeth and therefore the appearance, size, color, and surface texture of the implants are that of natural teeth and therefore it is hard to differentiate between the real teeth and the artificial ones.

Clear and confident speech: Reduces the risk of being a potential implant candidate for hesitating or slurred speech or speech that may be difficult to understand.

Comfort: With dental implants, you can bite or speak with the natural teeth as there is no feeling of pain.

Long-lasting durability: Dental implants have a very long life span, they can serve for several years and even for a lifetime if maintained properly.

Convenience: Unlike dentures which have to be removed and placed back again, implants do not have to be removed hence making the implants easy to clean.

Ease of eating: İmplants are as natural as your regular teeth, meaning that you can chew on all the tasty foods that you so desire without any pain.

No decay: Implants are prostheses or artificial teeth that are made of some form of material and not real teeth which may degenerate.

No shame: Implants are not shifted or loosened like natural teeth and therefore it does not require socially less appreciated embarrassing moments.

How to prepare for dental implant treatment?

Some of my patients informed me that they felt quite comfortable at the tooth implant recovery stage when they followed the guidelines I had provided for their dental implants. Everything starts from oral examination where your dentist examines your teeth and bones using X-rays or CBCT scans. It is advisable to inform your dentist about any health conditions or the use of any drugs that might complicate the situation with the implant. It is useful to look at dental implants before and after photos before the treatment. If you are a smoker you will have to stop smoking several weeks before the surgery because it can hinder the process of healing greatly. You should also avoid food and drink for 8-12 hours before the operation. Your doctor might recommend that you temporarily stop any drug that affects your ability to clot to reduce bleeding.

Dental implant procedure

Some important dental implant steps performed at Simena Dental Clinic as shown below:

Initial consultation

The dentist conducts a checkup of your mouth and performs an X-ray or a three-dimensional scan to determine the state of the jawbone and how the implantation process is going to be done.

Treatment planning

The plan of treatment is done for each patient based on the playing individual factors, including the number of teeth that must be restored, and the condition of your oral cavity.

Tooth extraction (if necessary)

If the tooth is still present but is in poor condition, it is then extracted to pave the way for the implant.

Bone grafting (if necessary)

Sometimes the bone in the jaw is not thick enough for the implant or too weak, and then some amount of bone will be taken from the patient’s body and placed in the required area, to support the implant.

Implant placement

The dentist places the implant post or ‘anchor’ into your jawbone where it will serve as a base for the artificial tooth.

Healing period (Osseointegration)

For the implant to be even more secure it bonds to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration over the next few months.

Abutment placement

After you have had the implant placed and it has osseointegrated, then the next step can take place. The abutment is placed. This part lies slightly beyond the gum line and to it, your new tooth will be fixed on.

Crown placement

A prosthetic crown which is an artificial tooth is fitted in the implant, and it is made to resemble the remaining natural teeth, and this completes the process of implant.

Final checkup

Appointments are also made regularly by the dentist to ensure the implant is well-fixed and the patient's bite pattern is correct.

Aftercare

There is always a need to balance it because as you know your teeth need regular checkups and cleaning to remain healthy and that’s how it is with a dental implant.

Is dental implant treatment painful?

No, dental implant treatment is not painful.

It is painless because a local anesthetic is used before the procedure. The anesthetic wears off after a few hours and is usually mild to moderate. Since the gums are involved, the pressure from the swelling puts pressure on the nerves, also causing temporary pain. Any pain from the procedure is relieved or eliminated with painkillers prescribed by your dentist. Cold compress and ice packs also help reduce swelling and pain as blood flow to the affected area is restricted. These are only mild pains and if you notice persistent or increasing pain, it is recommended that you visit your dentist.

Clinics and hospitals are frequently and severely checked and audited by the Ministry of Health. These controls are stringent and legal consequences are suffered once a hospital or clinic fails to adhere to the rules. The healthcare system of Turkey is rather effective and works well. Clinics and hospitals use modern equipment and available best techniques for dental procedures. Also, testimonials and dental implant before and after photos indicate dental implant surgery in Turkey is safe. Similarly, my patients hold the same opinion as well.

Are dental implants worth it?

Yes, it is worth spending your money on getting dental implants done.

Most of the time, my patients inform me that they consider implants a worthy choice. Dental implants are beneficial in oral health since they stop the wearing down of the bone and maintain the structure of the jaws. Also, they improve the aesthetic enjoyment of food and beverages because they mimic natural teeth. Cosmetically, implants enhance beauty and boost the subject’s self-esteem. Opinions of patients and even before and after pictures of dental implants prove the effectiveness of the treatment. On this basis, we can claim that dental implants are one of the beneficial financial investments since they have positive effects on the patient’s overall health and quality of life.

Which is better crown or implant?

When it comes to crown and implant I would say it depends on your circumstances. If your tooth is still very much alive but it is decaying on one side or it has a crack, then a crown is perfect. They are less traumatic and are normally less expensive than implants. However, if you have a missing tooth or the tooth you have is severely damaged, then implants are preferable. They last longer and work just like normal teeth do. All in all, implants are more advantageous in the long run since they also contribute to the prevention of bone loss and preservation of the jaw. It is always advisable to consult the dentist for him or her to advise you on what could work best for you.

Dental implants vs dentures

When it comes to these two services that are dental implants and dentures, there is a big difference. Teeth implants can be fixed and are placed in the gum of the jaw in which they work as any other tooth. It is more discreet compared to dentures and they resemble natural teeth and feel like them as well. Dentures are not fixed and can be easily removed for cleaning. They are not attached to the jawbone and thus may fall off while chewing food or even when speaking. Implants maintain the amount of jaw bone mass and it does not reduce this mass meaning that implants do not cause the loss of jaw bone mass. Dentures do not replace the jawbone in the same manner as implants and if one is a denture wearer, he or she will most likely lose bone mass in the long run. Thus, the implants have a better prognosis than dentures; however, the latter is quicker and less costly in the beginning.

Do dental implants look natural?

Yes, they are almost natural looking and people will not even realize that you have dentures. They are in the natural tooth color, size, and shape. Many of my patients tell me that they don't differentiate between the implants and their normal teeth. Also, because they are anchored on the jawbone, they are tactile, and when the patient bites them, they feel like real teeth.

How soon can I shower after dental implant treatment?

It is recommended that you start taking a shower at least one day after dental implant treatment.

It takes time for the implant area to heal and therefore it is appropriate to wait to allow the process to begin. Any hot shower or steam can increase blood pressure, which can increase blood flow to the surgical area. These results in edema and pain. High cabin pressure can mobilize clots in the surgical area and cause bleeding. Heat can cause infection. It is better to wait to take a shower to prevent any dental implant complications.

What is the success rate of implants?

Dental implants are among the most successful dental procedures having approximately a 95% success rate.

I observe a similar rate with my patients when they undergo the same procedure. Expertise and experience of the dentist are the major factors for determining the success of the procedure. Also, you should follow your dentist's advice for proper dental implant aftercare. The success rate is also affected by smoking and some diseases, especially diabetes. However, it is always good to consult a knowledgeable dentist and if implants are properly cared for, they are usually very successful in the long run.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4327689/

How long will a dental implant bleed?

Dental implants usually cause some bleeding in the first two days after treatment. This is because the surgery involves cutting the gum and then drilling the bone, which will of course cause bleeding. Certain situations increase bleeding, such as smoking, rinsing the mouth vigorously, or participating in any physical activity. Normally, bleeding should decrease and stop within about 48 hours. In any case, if bleeding is felt to be heavy or lasts longer than 48 hours, a dentist should be consulted.

Can dental implants cause speech problems?

Yes, one of the possible dental implants side effects of dental implants is speech disorder, more precisely, the patient may have problems with speaking right after the surgery.

This is because your tongue and your mouth in general take time to adapt to the new structure you have placed in your mouth. It is at first that you might struggle to articulate some words or even some particular sound or phoneme. Do not worry, such problems are normally short-term and get better with time as the patient adjusts to the implants. As with any skill, speaking gets easier with practice.

Can dental implants damage nerves?

Yes, one can damage nerves in the mouth with dental implants but this is not very common.

This is so if the implant is positioned close to a nerve in the body because this will lead to feelings of pain, numbness or even tingling. Of these nerves, the ones most often involved are those of the lower jaw. To avoid this, dentists use imaging to create a detailed plan for the location of the implantations. If nerve damage is present, occasionally the implant is repositioned, or other treatments are used to reduce the symptoms.

Teeth implant side effects

Like all dental procedures, dental implants can cause some mild dental implant risks. Immediately after the procedure, you will experience some pain and swelling in the implant area. Some bleeding is also possible, but all of these side effects will pass in a short time. Infection is another possible risk. Rarely, some people develop nerve problems that can cause numbness or tingling. If there is a problem or if the symptoms persist for a long time, do not wait to see your dentist.
