The dental implant process is a three-phase treatment that provides a natural-looking solution to the missing tooth problem of the patients. In this treatment, titanium root and ceramic veneer form the structure we call a dental implant.

With this treatment, which allows you to obtain the closest structure to natural teeth, your speaking, eating, and smiling are performed in the perfect way. In this article, let’s explain the dental implant timeline that an implant goes through before reaching the final result.

Dental Implants Phase 1- Consultation

First of all, you make your first meeting with the experienced and professional team of Yaman Dent Clinic. During this consultation, you can talk to our team about your oral health, the dental implant process, the results you hope to achieve, and any concerns you may have.

Once you have decided that dental implants are the best treatment option, you can come to Yaman Dent Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, for a dental examination and implant surgery. The dentist will help you feel comfortable by discussing every treatment aspect.

At this stage, all are done if tooth extraction or bone grafting is required. For this, a CT scan is done, and the dentist will evaluate the existing teeth and the bone structure in the implant placement. If bone graft for dental implant is not required, it can be passed directly to Phase 2.

However, if bone grafting is needed, the dental implant process phase 1 will take longer because dental bone graft healing stages take time. If a person’s teeth have been missing for a long time, dental bone graft treatment is usually required. For this reason, it is vital to have an implant without losing time when teeth loss occurs. Thus, bone loss will be prevented. In other words, there will be no need for bone grafting treatment during the implant treatment process.

Dental Implants Phase 2- Surgery

After the Yaman Dent dentist determines that your jawbone is strong enough, she will surgically bury the titanium root. Also, the dentist will give you local anesthesia for the surgical procedure. You cannot feel anything during the dental implant process as your mouth will be numb.

The professional dentist makes an incision in the gum, revealing the underlying jawbone. She will then make a hole in the jawbone. Thus, the titanium root is placed at the same depth as the natural tooth root.

The dentist places the abutment titanium, the internal screw on which the crown will be attached. Once the dentist is sure the titanium root is comfortable, she will suture the gum to close the incision. As a result, it takes 1-2 hours to place a titanium root in the dental implant process surgery phase. In other words, the more implant roots to be placed, the longer the surgery will take.

Dental Implants Phase 3- Crown Fitting

The healing process after dental implant surgery phases take about three months. The dentist will create and fit your new teeth after your gums have healed properly.

A unique mold is created for your mouth using the latest technology. This mold is for creating artificial teeth that perfectly match the shape and size of your natural teeth. This bespoke crown fits comfortably and seamlessly into the space left by the missing tooth. In addition, the crown will be suitable for color harmony with your natural teeth with dental implant process.

After your new crowns are fitted, the Yaman Dent dentist will talk to you about properly dental implant aftercare. Just like you do for your natural teeth, it’s essential to have regular checkups to help you take good care of your new implant.

What is the ‘Dental Implant done in a Day’ We See Advertised?

As we mentioned in this article, dental implant in Istanbul has stages. In other words, ‘dental implants done in one day’ is incorrect. Clinics that claim they can implant in one day are putting patients at unnecessary risk of implant failure. Or such clinics are using a misleading advertising tactic. As a result, in the dental implant process, the dentist should place the artificial root in the patient and allow the body to accept and integrate the implant.
