Patients With Own Teeth Implant

Implant treatment, which has been used for many years due to its ability to mimic natural teeth and its durability, is great for replacing loss of function in the mouth and eliminating aesthetic problems due to tooth deficiencies.

Implant treatment, which is usually considered after the loss of one or more teeth in the mouth, can also be applied to patients who have not yet lost their teeth in some cases.

Hangi Durumlarda İmplant Yapılabilir

In Which Cases Can Implants Be Made?

Implant; It is the name given to the artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone in the form of a screw in order to replace the teeth that cannot fulfil their function by being damaged for any reason and have to be extracted. Implants, which are usually made of titanium, work as strong and stable tooth roots with high tissue compatibility. In addition, it does not damage the surrounding tissues, does not require intervention to other teeth and can be used for a lifetime. Despite all these advantages, some conditions must be met for the implant to be applied.

In general, individuals with healthy gums and adequate jawbone tissue and in good general health can benefit from implant treatment. However, implant treatment is not preferred in these people because it becomes risky:

  • Those with excessive amount of resorption or tissue loss in the jawbone since the implants are placed in the jawbone
  • Receiving radiotherapy to the head and neck region
  • Young individuals under 18 years of age whose bone growth and development is not yet complete
  • Excessive tobacco users
  • Elderly people
  • People with bone disease such as osteoporosis
  • Those with systemic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure and those who use autoimmune system suppressing drugs
  • Those with a weak immune system

The suitability of the implant treatment for the individual will be determined after a session with the specialist dentist. This makes it easier to determine the treatment plan that best suits the level of deformation in the mouth, the general health status and personal expectations, and the person has the advantage of deciding the best one for himself among different treatments.

 

Can Implant Be Made to Patients with Tooth?

Implant is a highly successful treatment to eliminate single or multiple tooth deficiencies in the mouth and can also be applied to people who have their own teeth. Therefore, people with their own teeth can also benefit from implant treatment if they meet the conditions. In implant applications, the gaps in the mouth are closed without interfering with the surrounding teeth.

This technique is much more harmless than bridge applications, which are preferred as an alternative to implant, especially in single tooth deficiencies. However, implant treatment can also be considered in the presence of teeth that have not yet lost teeth but can no longer fulfil their function and need to be extracted in the future. For this reason, implant is a treatment that results in high success in individuals who have their own teeth or have experienced tooth loss. The factors to be considered in the treatment decision are evaluated in line with personal needs and health conditions.

In order to meet personal expectations in the best way, one of the different implant treatments can be preferred:

Single Tooth Implants

It is a treatment applied to patients who have their own teeth in their mouth, but have a single tooth deficiency or multiple single tooth deficiencies at different points that are not connected to each other. It is used as an alternative to classical bridge applications and is especially preferred because it does not require additional intervention on the surrounding teeth. It is a long-lasting, robust and highly successful treatment; it supports aesthetic smile design with its natural appearance.

Implant Supported Bridges

It is a treatment considered when several adjacent teeth are missing in the mouth and is preferred as an alternative to classical bridges, such as single tooth implants. A typical bridge application is not sufficient for 3-4 adjacent tooth deficiencies and does not support the jawbone, leading to the risk of increased tissue loss in the future. Implants, which prevent further loss of the jawbone, become the best treatment in such cases. The implant-supported bridge, which has a similar application process to single tooth implants, consists of fewer implants than the number of missing teeth in the jawbone and a bridge placed over them. Thus, more robust and natural teeth are obtained with less implant costs.

Total Mouth Implants

It is the treatment considered for people who have lost most or all of the teeth in their mouth and works as an artificial dental arch to replace the loss of function. Unlike traditional dentures, which are removable, it is fixed, making it comfortable to use during daily activities such as speaking, chewing or eating. It also helps to improve oral health by preventing further resorption of the jawbone and provides the most harmonious result with facial aesthetics. However, the maximum number of implants that can be placed in a single jaw in the mouth is usually around 7-8. This number varies according to the jaw structure of the person, the presence or absence of bone disease and other criteria, but is evaluated individually. Therefore, the suitability for total mouth implants is an issue that can only be decided together with the specialist dentist.

If you want to find out whether you are a suitable candidate for implant treatment for tooth loss in the mouth and to get information about the most suitable treatment alternatives for your specific needs, it is recommended that you first consult a specialist dentist.
