Implant treatment is the placement of artificial tooth roots made of titanium into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Dental prostheses (crowns, bridges, or dentures) are placed on these roots to regain the natural appearance and function of teeth. Implants are the most permanent solution in terms of both aesthetics and chewing comfort.
Individuals missing one or more teeth
Completely edentulous patients (implant‑supported fixed prostheses instead of total dentures)
Individuals over 18 whose jaw development is complete
Anyone whose general health condition is suitable for implant surgery
Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes
Those with advanced osteoporosis
Heavy smokers with poor oral hygiene
Individuals with immune system disorders or undergoing cancer treatment
(Note: With proper preparation, many patients can be made suitable for implant therapy.)
The jawbone is evaluated via panoramic X‑ray or 3D tomography.
The number of implants, prosthesis type, and treatment process are planned.
Titanium implants are placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
The procedure takes about 15–30 minutes (for a single implant).
The healing period after implant placement is 2–3 months.
After osseointegration, an abutment (connector) is attached to the implant.
A custom‑made dental prosthesis is then placed.
A stable tooth feel and an aesthetic appearance are achieved.
Bone grafting
Sinus lifting (sinus augmentation surgery)
Autogenous bone transfers
With these methods, bone volume can be increased in the implant area to make the procedure feasible.
| Stage | Duration |
|---|---|
| Initial examination and planning | 1 day |
| Surgical implant placement | 15–30 minutes (single implant) |
| Osseointegration period | 2–4 months |
| Prosthetic phase | 1 week |
The total treatment time varies by case, typically 2 to 4 months. Same‑day implant and temporary tooth applications (immediate implant) are also possible.
Single‑tooth replacement without damaging adjacent teeth
Stable and natural tooth feel
Preservation of facial aesthetics (prevents bone loss)
Alternative to removable dentures for fully edentulous patients
Long‑lasting and durable solution
Full restoration of chewing function
✔ Is the implant procedure painful?
No. It is performed under local anesthesia and you do not feel pain. Mild post‑operative discomfort may occur and is controlled with pain relievers.
✔ Will my body reject the implant?
Titanium is biocompatible; the risk of rejection is extremely low.
✔ Is an implant required for every missing tooth?
No. In some cases, a bridge or removable denture may be preferred. Planning is personalized.
✔ Do implants last a lifetime?
With proper care and regular check‑ups, they can function uneventfully for 20 years or more.
✔ Does smoking affect implant success?
Yes. Smoking delays healing and increases the risk of implant failure.
