For people who have lost or severely damaged all their teeth, full dental implant treatment is one of the most effective methods of replacing missing teeth with natural-looking and functional teeth. This treatment offers significant advantages both aesthetically and functionally and improves the quality of life. So, how is full dental implant treatment performed and what should be considered?
Full Tooth Implant Treatment Process
1. Inspection and Planning
The first step is a detailed examination and evaluation by the dentist. At this stage, a personalized treatment plan is created, taking into account the condition of your jawbone, your gum health and your general oral health. Careful attention is paid to whether the jawbone is sufficient to support the implants.
2. Tooth Extraction and Recovery
If there are teeth in the mouth that need to be extracted, these teeth are extracted and the jawbone is allowed to heal for a while. This usually takes between 4-6 weeks.
3. Implant Placement
After the healing process is complete, titanium screws (implants) are inserted into the jawbone. In full dental implant treatment, usually 4 to 6 implants are used for each jaw to support fixed dentures.
4. Osteointegration Process
A period of time is required for the implants to fuse with the jawbone (osteointegration). This process usually takes between 3-6 months. During this time, the implants integrate with the bone tissue and become stable.
5. Placement of the Prosthetic Tooth
Once the osteointegration process is complete, fixed prosthetic teeth (bridges or complete dentures) are placed over the implants. This process results in natural-looking and functional teeth that restore the entire oral structure.
Advantages of Full Dental Implant Treatment
- Natural Appearance: Implant teeth offer a very similar appearance to natural teeth and are aesthetically pleasing.
- Comfort and Stability: Since the implants are fixed to the jawbone, the dentures do not move and can be used as easily as natural teeth.
- Long life: With the right care, dental implants can be used for a lifetime.
- Speech and Chewing Functions: It eliminates speech and chewing problems caused by missing teeth.
- Prevents Bone Loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, prevent bone loss and help maintain facial structure.
Cost of Full Tooth Implant Treatment
