Implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are placed in the jawbone to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth.

Today, implant treatment is the best alternative to modern dentistry in cases of tooth loss. Implant treatment is the prosthetic rehabilitation method that gives the best results by replacing natural teeth, especially in bridge requirements, in cases where the support of the side teeth is not desired or there are no teeth to support.

In cases of total edentulism, dental implants are the most successful non-alternative method for increasing the retention of the total prosthesis and for completely fixed prosthesis applications. When applied with the correct diagnosis, adequate knowledge, experience and equipment, implant treatment is a form of treatment that can give extraordinarily successful results for the patient and the physician.

The implant is expected to merge with the bone. In order for the implant and the jawbone to merge, a waiting period of approximately 2-6 months is required after the operation. If the physician deems it necessary; the patient is also offered to use a temporary prosthesis while the treatment process continues. The installation of implant prostheses is carried out with an application that takes several sessions depending on the characteristics of the case.

All-On-Four Treatment
