Why should I have an implant?
The aim of dentistry is to prevent dental caries, eliminate tooth deficiencies, and provide patients with normal face shape, chewing, aesthetics and speech. Missing teeth can cause a lot of damage to human health. People cannot chew food properly without teeth, and because food cannot be chewed properly, it can cause digestive disorders. Such disorders can lead to very serious problems for people in the long run. For any reason, accident, the recession of rotten gums, etc. Our missing teeth for reasons cause problems such as aesthetics and function. Each of our teeth has its own tasks. Each of our teeth is important, both aesthetically and functionally. Imagine for a moment that you lost someone of your front teeth. This situation leads to serious social and aesthetic losses. We know that if we lose one or more of the teeth that allow us to chew, problems may arise in our digestive system after a while. After all, the loss of our teeth causes both social and health problems.
How do we make up for missing teeth?
There are several ways to make up for missing teeth. One of them is conventional bridges and the other is implants. In case of multiple tooth loss, removable dentures or full dentures can be made. Dental implants are longer lasting and closer to natural teeth than many dentures and bridges. Dental implants provide a similar function and aesthetics to our own main teeth, are more durable, and serve us longer in our mouth. Dentists usually recommend dental implants to their patients as the first treatment if the patients’ systemic disorders do not have any factors that would prevent implantation.
In Which Cases is Implant Application Appropriate?
In order to apply dental implants, the person and the jaw to be made must meet certain conditions. There is no rule that speaks dental implants are made for every missing tooth. The 3D tomography and dental implant software required for the diagnosis of dental implants facilitate the diagnosis of the dentist and increase the success of the dental implant. Before going into dental implant surgery, all details are examined by 3D tomography, and your correct treatment is provided by our specialist physicians. In order to apply the dental implant to you in the best way, in our clinic, turnover, CAD-CAM, and Sirona tomography are used.
Which groups can not have dental implants?
- Implant applications can be applied to people over the age of 18.
- It is wrong to apply implants to people under the age of 18.
- Uncontrolled diabetes, HbA1c value should not be above 6.5 in the blood test.
- Uncontrolled cardiovascular diseases, liver and kidney failure,
- Blood disease (hemophilia, leukemia, etc.),
- Receiving bisphosphonate medication, Chemotherapy or radiotherapy to the jawbone, Immune system disorder,
- Implant application during pregnancy is wrong
How long do I have to wait after having an implant?
After the dental implant, it is necessary to wait an average of three months. Some implant brands have a shorter waiting period. There are special implants for diabetics and patients who have undergone chemotherapy. With these implants, the waiting time is reduced to 45 days. In some cases, the bones need to be expanded in order to have an implant. In such cases, it is necessary to wait for the completion of the pre-treatment to get an implant.
What can be done if there is not enough bone?
Implant diameters are as small as 3 mm, and there are implant sizes as low as 4 mm. Apart from this, in cases where the bone is insufficient and the implant cannot be made, we make the bone suitable for the implant by applying artificial or autogenous grafts with advanced surgery. In this way, we make it suitable for implant application.
How is the implant applied inside the mouth?
Implant application is done with surgical methods and procedures. For implant application, the physician must be experienced. The experience of the physician affects the success of the implant. It is important for the physician to determine how and which angle and which technique the implant will be in the mouth when planning the implant. Various methods are used when placing the implant into the bone. Patients do not feel pain. Small local anesthesia ensures that there is no pain when making the implant and painless implant treatment is performed.
Is it expensive to have an implant?
Prices vary according to the brand of dental implants. These price differences can be compared to car modeling. Cars that you are sure of the quality of the brand and model are more expensive and more in demand, and it is a priority to work smoothly after a long time. Although there are many brands and companies in the implant, the implant brands with more R&D, prevalence and history are more expensive than others. Implant application prices are determined by TDA(Turkish Dental Association). According to the price determined by TDA as an implant, the minimum price index for 2020 is 2070 TL. For this, the price of the implant to be placed on it plays a role in determining the price of the implant.
Why should I have an Implant in the Private Yenidiş Oral and Dental Health Center?
There are many reasons for you to have implant treatment, one of the most important treatments in dentistry, at the Private Yenidiş Oral and Dental Health Center in Sancaktepe, managed by the dentist M.ihsan Gürsoy, who has served in this region for 30 years.
1- Dentist Operating Room
In the Private Yenidiş Oral and Dental Health Center, which is the first type A Oral and Dental Health center established in Sancaktepe, all surgical and implant treatments are performed in a fully sterile dentist operating room. Normal clinical environments and Operating Room environments are different. In the clinical environments, the aerosols (breath) coming from the patients mouth who has been treated before you is still in the environment. Even if the accessible environments are clean, there are invisible ones suspended in the air. Thanks to hygienic air conditioning devices and air circulation, germs are cleaned. All viruses and microorganisms such as Covid-19 transmitted by air cannot be kept in the environment.
2 – Tomography
Before starting dental implant surgical procedures, it is absolutely necessary to make correct planning. For this, the physician uses x-rays from x-rays. Since panoramic x-ray is two-dimensional, it does not give accurate information about the width of the bone. It is risky to start the implant in panoramic x-rays. Dental tomography is the most accurate method for placing the bone and the right implant. The most accurate planning is made with virtual software and the correct and necessary implants are applied to the patient. Our A-type modern Oral and Dental Health Center, which was first established in Sancaktepe, is also at the service of dental tomography patients in our region. By carrying the quality service it provides to the patients of Sancaktepe and the region to higher levels, it is necessary to use dental tomography, which is necessary for treatment and which is now accepted as a starting point for dental implants. With the correct diagnosis, the success rate of the implant treatment performed in Private Yenidiş Oral and Dental Health Center is 98%.
3 – Price Advantage in Implant Application
Dentist İhsan Gürsoy, who has served in his region for 30 years as a dentist in Sancaktepe, whose quality and reliability has been proven many times, and under his management, the modern clinic that has kept pace with the era and the world in a modern and technological way and was created outside the borders of the region, is the most accurate and price-performance that remains in the mouth for many years. Implants are put into service at a low cost.
4- Physicians Experience
Dental implants are made by dental surgeons who are experts in their field and have high hand skills and experience. Making dental prosthesis experience over dental implants is not just about surgery. The patients’ needs come to us as teeth. Even if it is a very well-done implant surgery, if there is not enough experience and knowledge on the overdenture prosthesis, that treatment process will fail. Experienced physicians and very good technicians can make overdenture prostheses by providing a perfect aesthetic and tissue compatibility.
5-Warranty in the Application of the Implant
Although your teeth and implants are always perfect, they sometimes cause problems. Regardless of the source of these problems, they are under our guarantee and close monitoring. All materials and equipment used in these follow-ups and the treatment process of the patient are produced using materials that will stay in the mouth for the longest time and will last the longest and are presented to the use and taste of the patient.
6-Digital Dentistry, CAD-CAM Systems and Surgical Guide Preparation
You can increase the success of dental implants with good planning and experienced dentists. Today, three-dimensional printers and three-dimensional design tools must be used for this planning. For this, we use Sirona cad cam systems. In these systems, the most accurate implant locations are determined with the help of tomography by making the final prosthesis modeling of the teeth, a surgical guide is prepared with cad cam systems and implant surgery is performed in the most ideal way.
7- Confidence and Professional Experience
Confidence and success, built with years of knowledge and experience, are the most important factors for our patients to choose us.

What is the All-on-Four Technique?
It is a type of prosthesis that can be made on 4 implants in a completely edentulous mouth in the lower or upper jaw and can be made immediately temporary prosthesis.
In which situations is all-on-four done?
The teeth in the mouth sometimes have high mobility causing the teeth to get extracted. In this case, people do not want to be without teeth immediately and they put themselves in great trouble both socially and aesthetically. In this case, there is nothing more natural than wanting to have a tooth done immediately. The implant technique, which will immediately fulfill the health and aesthetic functions that are lost by having teeth, is the All on four technique. He can also use the all-on-four technique to escape the sinus lift. If you say you are afraid of being toothless, this treatment is aimed at meeting your needs.
Does the All-on-Four Technique be able to have the teeth fixed immediately?
Your implants, which will be made with the all-on-four technique, are made immediately and you can get your new teeth within 48 hours after your implants are placed. In this way, you will get your new teeth in a much better way without interrupting your social life with your new teeth. All on four implant technique, as the name suggests, is a technique of making a prosthesis with 4 implants. It is applied in completely edentulous mouths. With this technique, the number of implants is 4 in a full chin. The prosthesis to be made is placed on top of 4 implants and the prosthesis is supported by tissue. Despite the decrease in the number of implants for the entire jaw, the prosthesis strength is provided in the best way by increasing the implant length and providing tissue support. The biggest advantage is that the teeth can be inserted immediately after the implant application and the important anatomical formations in the jaw do not allow implantation and it can be done without the need for advanced surgical procedures in such cases.
What are the Advantages of the All-on-Four Technique?
The implant process is an expensive and difficult process for both patients and physicians. In cases performed with advanced surgery, the application period of the implants is prolonged and the surgical risks increase. Patients can be happy about the all-on-four technique, which does not have much time to get rid of such procedures, is an ideal method instead of these jobs that are afraid of advanced surgical procedures and require a lot of time. The all-on-four implant technique is applied in edentulous mouths in which the bone is suitable. Implants are placed on the same day. After the implants are placed, the prosthesis is attached at the same time. And the patient gets his/her temporary teeth. After the implants have fully fused to the jawbone, 3 months after the implants have shifted to the bone, the prostheses must be replaced again. The patient’s speech and aesthetic problems are fulfilled quickly. All-on-four implants apply normal surgical procedures. In cases where the patient has an extreme phobia, it can be performed under general anesthesia. With the all-on-four technique, deep implants with a high success rate are placed instead of important and difficult surgical operations. Since these implants are placed at an angled contact within the bone, they hold on to the bone more tightly and heal in a stable manner thanks to the immediately loaded prostheses.
Short Implants
Implants have been the first choice for the replacement of missing teeth and are now successfully applied. However, in some cases, there may not be enough bone in the jaws. An ideal implant length is known as 10 mm. In some cases, although the width of the bone is sufficient, the depth of the bone is not sufficient, and advanced surgical techniques applied to correct this situation are both expensive and intimidating to the patients.
Even though some researchers consider implants smaller than 10 mm as short implants, 4 mm implants are used today. In this case, short implants that have been successfully applied are used. Advanced surgical applications to increase bone volume such as sinus lift in the upper jaw, raising the sinus floor, and block bone grafts in the lower jaw are avoided.
Short implants are ideal for these situations. This provides convenience to both the physician and the patient. However, short implants may not be the solution in all cases, the condition of the incoming forces, the ratio of crown length to root, short implants are the rules to be considered for the success of staying in the mouth.
Studies have shown that short implants have the same success as long implants when the necessary protocols are followed.
