The process for getting dental implant typically involves several stages:
- Planning and preparation:
- Placement of the implants:
- Healing:
- Attachment of the abutment:
- Placement of the restoration:
Your dentist will check your mouth, teeth, and gums to determine whether you have enough healthy jawbone to support the implants. In order to see the jawbone more clearly, they might also use X-rays or CT scans.
A tiny titanium screw called an implant is inserted into the mandible. The implant is usually placed in a surgical procedure that is performed under local anesthesia, inserted into the jawbone and allowed to heal and integrate with the bone for a period of several months.
After the implant is placed, the bone in the jaw will need to heal and grow around the implant, a process called osseointegration.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the top of the implant. This will serve as a connector between the implant and the final restoration (such as a crown, bridge, or denture).
The placement of the restoration, or the visible portion of the implant that replaces the lost tooth and is crafted to precisely resemble the colour and shape of your natural teeth, is the last stage in the implant procedure. It will be attached to the abutment, completing the implant process. The restoration can be a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on the location and number of implants.
How long does a dental implant take in Turkey?
The length of time it takes to complete a dental implant procedure in Turkey will depend on several factors, including the number of implants being placed, the complexity of the case, and the individual's specific needs. In general, the process may take several months to complete and may involve multiple surgical procedures.
After the implant is placed, the bone in the jaw will need to heal and grow around the implant. This can take several weeks or months. Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment (a small metal post) will be attached to the implant, and the final restoration (such as a crown, bridge, or denture) will be placed.
