Implant
Implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to provide function and aesthetics for missing teeth.
It is the best alternative that provides the function and aesthetics of natural teeth. Stopping the loss of the jaw bone, which is one of the important problems that arise with tooth loss, can only be achieved with implants today.
Implant treatment is the closest treatment to real teeth.
It provides better speech and chewing function compared to traditional crowns and dentures, while also providing a natural appearance on your face. It is considered the most important development in dentistry in the 21st century.
Implant in One Day
One-day implant means that you come to our clinic and have an operation the same day you leave with your new tooth. This treatment is a special solution offered by our clinic to patients who are told to wait for months.
As is known, the process of this treatment varies from patient to patient and in some cases this process can be prolonged. Implant patients considering this treatment should research this issue at least as much as the treatment prices.
You can also contact us to minimize the waiting time and leave our clinic with new teeth on the same day.
How does the treatment process work?
How does the treatment process work? An implant is a prosthetic element made of titanium that is placed in the jawbone and acts as a tooth root. Although the implant operation is a procedure that scares most patients, the reason for this fear stems from not knowing how the procedure is performed.
Today, treatment is completely bloodless and sutureless. Implant and prosthesis dentist Prof. Dr. Ömer Kutay has been performing successful operations in this field for over 30 years. Today, Ömer Kutay, whose reputation is also known abroad, is carrying out successful work in the field of implants. The videos prepared by our clinic on implant construction will also help you understand that the treatment process is painless. Watch

Benefits of Implant Treatment
Dental implants are the process of placing artificial tooth roots made of pure titanium into the jawbone. Implants serve as prosthesis or bridge abutments. In this way, missing teeth are completed functionally and aesthetically, providing a natural appearance.
- Same day fitting of new teeth After placement, if possible, it is ideal to have temporary teeth installed on the same day. In order to do this, the bone type must first be hard and the implants must be placed with a primary stability of 30-35 N. As an advantage, patients can start chewing soft foods the next day without having to lose any teeth.
- Real teeth are installed 2-3 months after the treatment. If the remaining bone in the jaw is less hard, it may be necessary to wait 2-3 months with temporary removable teeth before permanent porcelain teeth are made. During this 2-3 month period, removable dentures that do not put pressure on the implants are made so that patients do not remain toothless until the main teeth are made.
- Enlargement of the bone bed before treatment and insertion of new teeth after 4-6 months If the amount of bone to which the implants will be attached is not sufficient, and we have to enlarge the bone bed of the root with bone graft before placing the root, the prosthesis may take up to 6 months.
To whom can it be applied?
Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace missing or damaged teeth with new teeth. Patients can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all of their teeth with implant treatment. Surgically placed in the jawbone, dental implants function like our natural teeth in both appearance and use.
They provide great self-confidence due to their problem-free use by patients and their aesthetic appearance. (Not to mention, dental implants give patients the ability to eat and speak effectively. If you are considering the dental implant procedure, please read on to find out if you could be a good candidate.)
Those of appropriate age for treatment
Dental implants can be applied to anyone who wants to have a permanent solution to replace their missing teeth. However, they are not applied to young patients (generally under the age of 18) because their bone development has not yet been completed.
Those with sufficient bone width
In order for dental implants to be sufficiently strong and permanent, there must be sufficient bone width in the area where the missing tooth is located. One of the first checks your dentist will make when starting treatment is whether your bone width is sufficient. If the bone width is not sufficient, the bone area where the dental implant will be applied is expanded with a method called grafting and made ready for treatment.
Those who are in good general health
Those with diseases such as gum disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes are suitable candidates for implants as long as they are kept under control. Patients with significant diseases that require constant medication, especially those with immune system-related problems, should definitely inform their dentist about their condition. Such patients should be treated in coordination with their doctors.
Those who want to have an implant instead of a prosthesis
For patients who cannot use their removable dentures comfortably, implant-supported dentures can be made by applying 2-4 implants, which hold the palatal denture tightly and whose movable connections can be removed by the patient whenever they want, much more easily than their old dentures.
Dental Implants
Implant application is a treatment method that dentistry has frequently preferred in recent years. People may experience tooth loss due to various reasons. As a result, oral health deteriorates and at the same time, people may experience a loss of self-confidence, which greatly affects their social life.
In line with the opportunities offered by modern medicine that develops every day, the most preferred treatment method by dentists for patients who have lost teeth is the implant. The implant, which is the closest alternative to natural teeth, is one of the most popular techniques with its ease of use, longevity and comfort.
The question that people who will have implants most wonder about is whether there is any harm or side effect. When implants are applied, the artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone are made of titanium. Titanium is a compound that does not interact with tissues and is resistant to forces. Therefore, it has absolutely no harm or side effect.
The aesthetic appearance of the implanted tooth, the ease with which the person can use his/her chewing function after the application, and its longevity make implant treatment one of the most popular techniques.
If the bone density and amount are at the desired level, the implant can be applied immediately. However, if the doctor finds the patient's bone density insufficient during the examination, in this case, operations aimed at creating bone may be required before the implant. Here, patients may experience the following confusion; Having osteoporosis in a person does not mean that there is also osteoporosis in the jaw bone. The two are different health problems. While the jaw bone of a person with intense osteoporosis may be quite strong, the jaw bone of a person who does not experience any osteoporosis in their body may not be at a sufficient level.
Another issue that patients are curious about is whether there will be pain during and after the operation. Since the operations are performed using an anesthesia method that the doctor and the patient decide on together, the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. After the operation, it is normal to have minimal pain and this pain is prevented with simple painkillers recommended by the doctor.
Who can undergo dental implant treatment?
Implant treatment can be applied to anyone who has completed jaw and face development and is over the age of 18. For people with diabetes, heart disease or osteoporosis, the operation is performed after the appropriate treatment is applied before the implant. Before implant treatment, the doctor listens to the patient's health history, performs a detailed oral examination and takes x-rays. Based on the examination and x-ray results, the doctor decides whether the person is suitable for implant treatment or which treatment method will be applied.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
If the doctor decides that the patient is suitable for implant treatment, the procedures begin immediately. How long the implant treatment will take or how many times the patient will need to come to the clinic depends entirely on the person's oral and dental health. When planning implant treatment, the process is determined by factors such as the number of implants to be made, the person's current illnesses, and whether there is sufficient bone density.
