Dental Implants
Explained
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone in place of a lost tooth or teeth, this merges with the bony tissue to serve as a natural tooth root. Titanium used in implants is considered a tissue-friendly material by the body. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia without the patient feeling any discomfort.
Unlike crowns and dentures, an implant allows for better speaking and chewing functions, while at the same time, keeps the contours of the face looking natural. This treatment can be used at any age after bone development has been completed (16-17 Years of age in girls, and 18 for boys). There is no upper age limit for adults. An implant can be utilised by anyone with good general health. The elderly tend to lose more teeth and generally have some bone loss in the jaw, as a result, this age group is more likely to require implants.
Implant threads come in specific thicknesses and widths. The quality of the bone in the jaw is important, and the jawbone must have a height and width that fit the implant on the site of insertion. Without these considerations, an implant may not be successful.
A Dental Implant comes as three units;
- Implant: a threaded titanium implant inserted into the tooth socket
- Abutment: a post is attached after the healing of the site
- Crown: attachment of the new permanent tooth.
By using the most advanced technology (Tomography 3-D CD together with specific software), we can measure the patient’s bone to assess what implant actions are required. We offer the latest computer guided implant technology to our patients, the advantages of this procedure are; less time spent in the dental chair, less discomfort and no stitches or swelling. The A-grade dental implants we use come from international brands, manufactured in Switzerland, Germany and the USA.
We offer only the best internationally recognised Implant brands
What do you need to know about
dental implants?
For the patient considering dental implants, there are four things they need to know:
- Dental implants have a high rate of success. In general, they have an estimated 98% success rate, but this varies depending on the capabilities of the dentist, the health of the patient, and in what part of the jawbone the implant will be placed.
- Dental implants, with crowns attached, appear identical to the patient’s natural teeth, as they are customized to match the natural teeth, looking and feeling like the real thing.
- Eating is easy as dental implants are anchored into the jaw. There is no difficulty or discomfort when eating, and no slipping, sliding or falling as with standard dentures.
- Implants serve as a replacement tooth root. When the root of a tooth is missing, the jawbone will gradually start to lose bone mass and density – this happens with standard bridges and dentures. However, with dental implants, the titanium screw acts as a faux tooth root. The jawbone is coerced into thinking that the tooth root is still there, and begins to grow new tissue around it, keeping the jawbone from deteriorating.
Dental Implants do not need the aid of healthy teeth to affix a dental prosthesis – the bridges, crowns or dentures can be secured to the titanium implant itself without interfering with the other healthy teeth.

Planning your dental implant treatment
Planning before dental implant
Before the dental extraction process before the implant treatment, the patient’s x-rays are evaluated and an idea about the quality of the jaw bone is obtained.
Dental implant planning is just as important as the treatment process. After the first examination, the type of implant to be used by the dentist is decided. This step is very important as implants are produced in shapes and sizes according to different situations. At this stage, the patient is informed about all the procedures and the image after the completion of the procedures is shown. Thus, the possibility of encountering any negative results in the treatment of implant is minimized. First, a detailed medical and dental history of the patient is examined.
The planning process is prepared by a dentist who specializes in mouth, jaw, face and gums. Since dental implants require one or more surgical procedures, you need to undergo a thorough assessment to be prepared for the process, including:
- Detailed dental and jaw examination:
Dental x-ray and jaw tomography are performed, making a detailed examination of the teeth and jaw bone.
- Dental implants treatment plan:
This plan, which is prepared according to the condition of the patient, evaluates factors such as how many teeth are replaced and the condition of your jaw bone.
After dental implant
You should be careful to feed for 2 hours after implant treatment. For the first 24 hours, you should avoid hot drinks and consume only soft foods. Do not consume as much hot food and drinks as possible in the first week. You can start eating after the operation is over. However, you may delay eating for a while because you will feel tired because of the general or local anesthesia applied. Blood can be seen in the saliva for the first 24 hours. This is normal. You can even see blood scars on your pillow when you wake up in the morning. Don’t panic!
For the first 24 hours, do not spit or rinse your mouth for the healing process to begin. Do not exercise after a dental implant. This can negatively affect treatment. Any impact on your face or implant tooth where the surgical procedure takes place can affect you badly. You should be very careful even when brushing your teeth when the dental implant process is new. Following implant operations, pressure can be applied slowly with a soft, sterile tampon to stimulate coagulation and stop bleeding. After 36 hours, you should mouthwash twice a day for 2 weeks with mouthwash or salt water. Do not consume food for 30 minutes after gargling.
