What is Dental Implant Treatment?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to replace missing teeth. Implants are typically made of biocompatible materials such as titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone. Subsequently, a crown (artificial tooth) or a dental bridge is mounted onto these implants.

Implant Treatments Performed at Periodonta

a. All-on-4 Treatment

All-on-4 Implant Treatment

This method offers a fast and effective solution using only four implants for completely edentulous (toothless) individuals. Two implants are placed at an angle in the posterior region, and two are placed straight in the anterior. If bone density is sufficient, temporary teeth can be fitted immediately.

This is a popular treatment option where the implant and temporary tooth are placed on the same day. It can be applied when sufficient primary stability (torque) is achieved. Aesthetic loss is minimized, and the need for removable dentures is eliminated.

Bone deficiency can often be an obstacle to implant treatment. However, this issue can be resolved using methods such as bone grafting or sinus lifting. Once sufficient bone structure is restored, implants can be safely and securely placed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Implant Treatment Performed?

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, improve chewing and speech functions, and enhance the overall aesthetic appearance of the smile.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Generally, individuals with sufficient jawbone density, good oral health, and no uncontrolled systemic diseases are eligible for this treatment.

Who Should Avoid Implant Treatment?

It is generally not recommended for individuals with severe periodontal disease, inadequate bone density that cannot be grafted, or certain systemic conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes or severe osteoporosis).

How is the Implant Procedure Performed?

During the operation, the implant is placed into the bone, followed by a waiting period of a few months for osseointegration (fusion with the bone). Finally, the artificial tooth (crown) or bridge is mounted.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

The osseointegration process can take several months. The total treatment duration varies depending on the specific case and whether any additional procedures or complications occur.

Pros and Cons of Implant Treatment

Pros: Long-lasting, aesthetically natural appearance, and significant improvement in chewing and speech functions.

Cons: Higher initial cost, requires surgical intervention, and carries a small risk of potential complications.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Implant Treatment

The type and material of the implant, the expertise of the specialist, and any required additional treatments (such as bone grafting) all influence the final cost.
