An implant is a replacement for a missing tooth. Implants are made of titanium which the surgeon operates into the jawbone where the missing tooth is. There are many who are worried about implants, but it is a safe and secure treatment that lasts for many years, often a lifetime.

How does implant surgery work?

Here we will explain how the implant insertion process works: An X-ray is taken of the patient, after which he/she is examined. This is to see if there is enough bone tissue to insert an implant, if there isnt then we can perform a procedure to operate in artificial bone tissue or if sinus lift if necessary. Before the operation, the patient receives local anesthesia and will not have any pain during the operation. The surgeon will insert the implants and put stiches after the operation. The healing period is normally 3 months, depending on whether the patient has good enough bone tissue, whether artificial bone tissue has been added, etc. In such cases, this waiting period may be longer. The abutment (distance) is mounted after the waiting period. It is an extension of the implant, to which the tooth is to be attached.

Who can get implants?

Implants are suitable for anyone who wants to replace lost tooth / teeth. If you use a denture that is not fixed, or you have lost many teeth, then the choice of implants is an excellent treatment option to replace teeth. The bone volume in the jaw must be examined to see if there is enough. If not, artificial bone tissue can / will be operated in so that the implants have a stronger foundation. It can suit a patient in their 20s as well as one in their 80s. Age is no obstacle.

How long should food not be eaten after dental treatments?

A different procedure is followed after each treatment. Sometimes it is not a problem to eat immediately after treatment, but in some cases, the patient is asked to eat and consume soft foods a few hours later. Your doctor will inform you about these procedures.

Will there be bruising or swelling on the face after the implant?

After the implant operation, facial swelling may occur on the implanted side. It is not a cause for concern. It goes away within a few days after the implant. Cold compress should be applied for the first 24 hours. It should be applied warm for the next 24 hours and medications should be taken regularly.

How long do implants last?

When properly maintained, a carefully placed dental implant has a life span of between 20 and 30 years. The life of the dental implant is long-lasting with the correct application of the implant and then the patient’s not interrupting the implant care.

When are teeth made after implant application?

After the implant, at least 3 months should be waited for the bone and implant surface to provide a healthy and strong connection. When more advanced surgical procedures such as sinus lifting and using grafts (bone dust) are performed, this period may take up to 4 or 5 months. However, nowadays, when appropriate conditions are provided, depending on the bone quantity and quality of the patient, loading can be made immediately after the procedure.
