Question : What is a one day implant?
Reply : One Day Implant treatment means that you come to our clinic and have an operation the same day and leave with your new teeth. This is the ideal solution for patients who are told to wait months for implant treatment.
With this method, our patients do not have to wait without teeth while the implant fuses with the bone. They continue their lives with beautiful teeth the same day.
Question : What is the implant healing process like?
Reply : According to our updated information, the time required for implants to fuse with the bone is 3 months in the upper jaw and 2 months in the lower jaw. In cases where fixed teeth are attached to the implants immediately after they are placed, it is important for patients to eat soft foods for 2 months, as the teeth are attached without waiting for 2-3 months.
Question : How should dental implant care be done?
Reply : Implants should be cleaned by brushing with a toothbrush, just like teeth. Inadequate care can cause an infection around the implant. This shortens the life of the implant and may require surgery around the implant. Good oral care and visiting the dentist every 6-12 months will ensure that implants last for a maximum period of time.
