What is implant treatment?
The origins of implant treatment date back to ancient Egyptian and Inca civilizations. However, the development of modern dental implants began in the mid-20th century with Swedish orthopedist Dr. It is based on titanium implant studies carried out by Per-Ingvar Brånemark. In the 1960s, Brånemark revolutionized implantology by discovering titanium’s ability to integrate with human bone. During this process, a term known as “osseointegration” was developed, which means the implant fuses with the bone.
Today, implants replace missing teeth with natural-looking and functional teeth, thanks to titanium screws placed in the jawbone. This treatment method provides more reliable and successful results with the advancement of technology.
How is implant treatment applied?
Implant treatment is considered a solid and permanent solution to replace missing teeth. Dr. Ömer Ekiz states that this treatment method gives the feeling of natural teeth to individuals with missing teeth. Ekiz said, “During implant treatment, we create a fixed tooth root with a titanium screw placed in the jawbone. “The prosthetic tooth placed on it is extremely compatible with the appearance and function of the natural tooth.”
During the treatment process, a personalized plan is prepared by taking into account the patient’s general health condition and jaw structure. Ekiz said, “Every patient’s situation is different. That’s why we create the most appropriate plan by doing a detailed examination before treatment.” “All-on-four implant” or “all-on-six implant” treatment is recommended especially for patients who have lost all their teeth and experienced serious osteoporosis. While this method offers the opportunity to have fixed teeth, it also takes jaw bone problems into consideration.
It can be used harmlessly for a lifetime.
Dr. Omer Ekiz, implant treatmentHe emphasizes that it offers not only an aesthetic but also a functional and long-term solution. Unlike traditional prostheses, implants function as tooth roots, preventing the jaw bone from melting and ensuring long-lasting use.
Ekiz said, “When properly cared for, implants can last a lifetime. “In addition, since this treatment does not require cutting other teeth, it can replace missing teeth without damaging natural teeth.”
Implant treatment, which has entered our lives as an important treatment option that increases the quality of life of patients by providing a functional solution beyond aesthetic expectations, is the key to the process.
