Implant Treatment and Surgical Applications
What is an Implant?
An implant is a material made of titanium metal that serves as a support for the teeth to replace lost teeth and does not have any side effects for human health. The teeth to be placed on the implants mimic the natural tooth in terms of aesthetics and function. Titanium is a metal with excellent tissue compatibility and has been used safely in many fields of medicine for centuries.

Areas of Use of Implant Therapy
- Removing a single missing tooth without damaging neighboring intact teeth,
-
In the elimination of multiple missing teeth by making fixed prostheses instead of removable prostheses,
- In case of complete edentulism, it can be used to make fixed prostheses instead of removable prostheses (palate).
Dental Surgery
Extraction of wisdom teeth
The milk teeth in the jaws fall out and permanent teeth erupt in a certain order. All teeth that are due to erupt but cannot erupt from the jawbone for any reason and cannot take their place in the mouth are called “impacted teeth”. While some of them cause problems for patients, others do not cause any discomfort and are recognized during routine radiographic controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
If there is enough bone to place the implants in the session when the teeth are extracted, permanent prostheses on implants are applied within 3-4 months after the implants are placed. However, in our clinic, in implant treatments performed on the entire upper or lower jaw, which we call full mouth, and in implant treatments performed on the anterior region teeth where aesthetics are important, if the bone hardness is sufficient, we deliver fixed temporary prostheses 3-4 days after implant placement. In this way, our patients can comfortably live their lives with temporary prostheses until their permanent prostheses are installed.
The operation can be performed with local anesthesia and sedation without any pain and discomfort. After the operation, there may be a slight pain or swelling that can also be felt after any tooth extraction. These can be easily relieved with painkillers and necessary precautions.
Postoperative swelling may vary depending on the size of the operation and tissue sensitivity of the person. Generally, there is no serious swelling and bruising is very rare
If the extracted tooth is not infected and the bone structure is suitable, an implant can be placed in the same session.
You can eat after the anesthesia wears off, i.e. approximately 2-3 hours after surgery.
The decision to extract impacted wisdom teeth is directly proportional to the distress they cause to the patient. It is obvious that a tooth that is completely in the bone will cause less distress than a slightly erupted tooth. If the wisdom tooth has not fully erupted, if it causes pain and swelling to the patient and requires the use of painkillers, the decision to extract is taken.
Extraction is performed in a simple operation under local anesthesia. The patient is prescribed antibiotics and painkillers. It is normal to have mild pain and swelling in the jaw after the impacted wisdom tooth operation. The swelling goes away within a week until the stitches are removed. There is a belief in the society that wisdom tooth extraction is difficult. The duration of the procedure and the problems to be experienced afterwards vary depending on the experience of the physician performing the procedure. In individuals who will receive orthodontic treatment, extraction of wisdom teeth is a routine procedure even if they do not cause discomfort. Apart from this, patients who have impacted teeth in the jaw but do not feel any discomfort should be followed up with routine radiographs, it should be well controlled whether the impacted teeth cause any damage to the teeth they are in relation with and whether any pathological formation develops around them.
In addition to standard panoramic radiographs, Volumetric Tomographs can be obtained before the extraction of wisdom teeth that are close to some risky anatomical points.
Each wisdom tooth surgery is performed differently, so the recovery time may vary. For wisdom teeth that are completely covered with bone, swelling and difficulty opening the mouth may occur for a few days. Bruising is a rare complication.
