What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium artificial tooth root placed into the jawbone to replace a missing natural tooth root.
During the healing process, the implant integrates with the jawbone to create a stable foundation. A porcelain or zirconia restoration is then placed on top, providing both functional performance and a natural-looking result.
At Papatya Dental Clinic, implant treatment is planned individually by our dentists following a comprehensive digital oral examination, panoramic X-ray, 3D dental tomography (CBCT), and, when necessary, bone evaluation. Additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifting may also be included in your treatment plan when required.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Dental implant treatment may be suitable for patients who:
- Have one or more missing teeth,
- Prefer a fixed solution instead of removable dentures,
- Are in suitable general health for implant treatment,
- Have sufficient jawbone for implant placement or are suitable for preparatory procedures when necessary.
Suitability for treatment is determined after a clinical examination and radiological evaluation.
Conditions That May Benefit from Dental Implants
Patients With One or More Missing Teeth
- A permanent solution that replaces missing teeth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth.
Patients Who Prefer Fixed Teeth Instead of Removable Dentures
- May help restore more natural chewing and speaking function.
Patients Looking to Support Jawbone After Tooth Loss
- Dental implants help maintain the functional use of the jawbone following tooth loss.
Patients Seeking a Long-Term and Aesthetic Solution
- Natural-looking, functional dental restorations can be planned according to individual needs.
Treatment Process
1. Examination and Digital Assessment
- Your jawbone and oral structures are evaluated through a clinical examination, panoramic X-ray, and, when necessary, 3D CBCT imaging.
2. Treatment Planning
- The number of implants, treatment area, and any additional procedures are determined to create a personalized treatment plan.
3. Implant Placement
