What is tooth implantation ?
Dental implant represents a dental procedure aimed at replacing a missing natural tooth or teeth. If you have a missing tooth or teeth, you may feel uncomfortable due to your appearance, especially when you smile. For people who have lost teeth due to disease or injury, dental implants are an ideal choice due to their durability. When dental implants are properly cared for with hygiene, they provide a long-term solution. Dental implants improve your smile and boost your self-confidence.
Dental implants are one of the most preferable dental procedures. A dental implant is an artificial root of a tooth (made of titanium) that is inserted into the jawbone instead of a missing tooth. Then, a dental crown is attached to it via an abutment (a small connector between the implant and the crown).
The structure of a dental implant consists of two parts: the implant itself and the abutment. Practically every person sooner or later faces the need to remove a tooth. The procedure is performed depending on the condition of your jawbone and the number of missing teeth.

Titanium Implants
Titanium Implants
Titanium is a metal that has a color similar to steel but is lighter and exceptionally hard. Its properties allow for effective integration with bone, making rejection of the implant rare. This process of integration is called osseointegration and it is highly biocompatible. During the process of osseointegration, bone cells attach themselves to the surface of the implant, gradually integrating it with the jawbone. Titanium implants are a cost-effective and effective option for tooth replacement.
Zirconium Implants
Zirconium implants are a newer generation of implants designed to increase the strength of titanium implants, particularly in cases where the jawbone is narrow. Zirconium is also used as a dental coating because it is white, which is similar to the natural color of teeth and reflects light, making it aesthetically beneficial. In addition to being durable, zirconium implants do not wear down or leave a metallic taste in the mouth. They also do not change color over time and do not harm the body.

What to expect
Implant treatment is suitable for individuals over the age of 18, who have completed the development of their jaw and face. Prior to treatment, x-rays are taken to determine whether the jaw structure is suitable for the implant. Diabetic patients should have their disease under control before treatment. Blood thinners should be discontinued before treatment. Patients with bone loss can undergo implant treatment after receiving appropriate treatment.
It is recommended that you have a good breakfast on the morning of your treatment because you will not be able to eat or drink for a while after the dental implant treatment. The dental implant treatment typically lasts for 2-3 hours. You may experience small swelling, bleeding or pain for 2-3 days after the surgery, so your doctor will prescribe antibiotics and pain medication.
Local anesthesia will be used during the surgery. To place the implant, your dentist will make a small incision in the gums to expose the bone and then create a section in the size of the implant to place it in the bone. During the treatment, your dentist will check whether the implant is correctly placed by taking an X-ray image and will close the incision by placing a dissolvable stitch on the gum to prevent the implant from becoming visible and to allow the implant to bond with the dental bone. After the surgery, you may need to consume soft and liquid foods for at least 4-5 weeks to promote healthy healing of the treatment area.
On the 3rd day after your treatment, you need to come for a follow-up check. The stitches usually dissolve in 7-10 days. The dissolving of stitches is usually easy, fast, and painless.
The second stage of dental implant treatment (after 3 months):
After your dental implants have bonded with the bone (approximately 3 months), your treatment can be continued and completed for the placement of the crowns as the second part of the treatment. Under local anesthesia, your dentist will make a small incision in the gums to reveal the previously placed implant. After removing the protective, temporary implant cap, it is replaced by the metal cap called an abutment. After placing the abutment, your gum should heal in a short time before your crowns are placed.
Your dentist will prepare your crowns in the laboratory to fit your mouth sizes, which will be placed on your implants. It takes a few days for your original crowns to be prepared. Temporary crowns are placed so that you can use your teeth during this period. The main crowns will be reinforced with special dental cement.
To maintain healthy and permanent use of your implants and crowns, you should regularly care for your oral hygiene.
Your dentist will provide you with postoperative instructions. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene to achieve the best results from your dental implant. You may experience pain after your dental implant, and your dentist may prescribe medication. You may be advised to apply a cold compress to the treated area to minimize swelling. You may also be advised to avoid hot and cold foods/beverages and alcohol. It is recommended to consume liquid or easy-to-chew foods for the first few days after the procedure. A solution of water and salt may be used to rinse your mouth five times a day to speed up the healing process and keep the treated area clean.
