What is Dental Implant?

Dental implant is a variation of tooth replacement process where small titanium or zirconium screws are placed in the patient’s jawbone. This procedure requires a minor surgery. Successful dental implants are achieved when missing or damaged teeth are replaced with artificial teeth that look and feel like the real ones. Generally, 7-10 implants in the upper jaw are enough to make fixed prostheses in totally toothless mouths. Also, 5-7 implants provide the resistance and carrying capacity in the lower jaw. After the dental implant is completed, the patients enjoy correctly shaped and white teeth. Dental implant prices vary by operation technique, the material that is used, and the difficulties of the operation. 

Implant Treatment Process

The dental implant treatment process includes various phases. Patients need approximately nine months or one year for a full recovery. The first phase is called consultation and comprehensive exam. The patient’s bone structure and possible risks are analyzed. This provides valuable information about which type of implant need to be used. While some patients require all on 4 dental implants, some may need 3 on 6 dental implants. In any case, a detailed examination should be carried out. Then, the dental implant is applied under local anesthesia during the second phase. The operation takes approximately 1 or 2 hours for each implant. After that, depending on the complexity of the operation, it is necessary to wait more than three months for healing. After healing, an artificial tooth is secured on the implant. With regular check-ups and oral dental hygiene, the long life cycle of the implant is guaranteed. 

Cost of Dental Implants

As teeth are the most essential part of the face, it does not only affect physical appearance but also have an impact on the social life of the patient. Dental implants could be applied to any patient having a healthy bone structure and no serious health issues. The life cycle of the implant is approximately 20 or 30 years on average. Even if the long-life cycle makes the process the first choice of patients, "how much are dental implants" is the most commonly asked question. The cost of dental implants depends on the type of the process and the needs of the patient.

While waiting for the bones and the implant to fuse sufficiently, changing daily routine supports the healing period. The patient should not smoke until they are fully healed. In addition, soft foods such as soup should be preferred. Finally, routine check-ups and dental hygiene prevent possible complications.
