Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They provide a permanent, natural-looking solution that functions just like your real teeth. At Yaşam Hospital, our experienced dental surgeons use the latest implant technology to restore your smile with precision and care.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant consists of three components: a titanium post (the implant) that is surgically placed into the jawbone, an abutment that connects the post to the crown, and a dental crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
The Implant Procedure
Initial Consultation
A comprehensive examination including X-rays and 3D scans is performed to assess bone density and plan the implant placement. A personalized treatment plan is created based on your unique anatomy.
Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia, a small incision is made in the gum, and the titanium post is inserted into the jawbone. The gum is then sutured, and the healing process begins.
Osseointegration
Over the next 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a solid foundation for the final restoration.
Crown Attachment
Once the implant has fully integrated, an abutment is attached, followed by a custom-made porcelain crown designed to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants preserve jawbone structure, prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, and offer the most natural feel and appearance of any tooth replacement option. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Candidacy and Aftercare
Good candidates for implants are non-smokers with adequate bone density and healthy gums. Aftercare involves routine oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding hard foods during recovery. Success rates for dental implants exceed 95%.
