A Permanent and Aesthetic Solution for Tooth Loss: Dental Implants
Implantology is a branch of dentistry that offers the most natural and long-lasting solution for missing teeth by placing artificial roots (implants) into the jawbone. These titanium implants act as tooth roots, over which prosthetic crowns are fixed. This method restores both aesthetics and functionality—allowing patients to regain normal chewing, speaking, and smiling abilities.
Dental implants are suitable not only for single-tooth replacements but also for multiple missing teeth or even completely edentulous (toothless) jaws.
When Are Dental Implants Recommended?
Single or multiple tooth loss
Completely edentulous jaws (implant-supported dentures)
Patients who do not wish to use removable dentures
Individuals who prefer not to file down healthy teeth for bridgework
Those experiencing chewing or speech problems due to tooth loss
Patients seeking a natural and aesthetic smile restoration
How Is the Dental Implant Procedure Performed?
During the initial examination, the dentist evaluates the jawbone using X-rays or 3D tomography if necessary. If sufficient bone density is present, the implant is placed under local anesthesia. It typically takes 2–3 months for the implant to integrate with the bone (osseointegration). After healing, a prosthetic crown is attached to the implant. With modern technology, in suitable cases, implants can even be restored with fixed crowns on the same day.

Provides excellent aesthetic results
Prevents bone loss in the jaw
Restores chewing and speech functions
Post-Treatment Care
Avoid hot food and beverages for the first 24 hours
Do not smoke or consume alcohol, as they delay healing
Keep the implant area clean and brush as instructed by your dentist
Attend regular dental check-ups
Avoid biting on hard objects
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the implant procedure painful?
No. It is performed under local anesthesia and is generally painless. Mild sensitivity afterward can be managed with simple painkillers.
Can everyone have implants?
Yes, if the bone structure and general health are suitable. However, conditions such as diabetes or osteoporosis require special evaluation.
Do implants last a lifetime?
With proper application and regular care, implants can last 20 years or even longer.
Can the body reject the implant?
No. Titanium is 100% biocompatible with the human body, and rejection or allergic reactions are extremely rare.
How long does the treatment take?
Depending on the bone condition and technique, the treatment duration can vary from 1 day to 3 months.
