The success rates of dental implants vary depending on where they are placed in the jaw, but in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98 percent.

One who is healthy enough to undergo a routine tooth extraction or oral surgery can often be considered suitable for a dental implant. It is necessary to have sufficient bones and healthy gums. Patients should commit to paying attention to post-implant oral hygiene and visiting their dentist regularly.

Implant treatment is done by giving the patient a light sedation. Detailed examination and x-ray are required before the procedure. Measurements of the jaw bones and remaining teeth are taken. There are two options for placing dental implants. In the one-step procedure, a temporary cap is placed after the implant is fixed. In the two-stage procedure, after the dental implant is placed, it is covered with the gum and left to heal. Prosthetic heads are then placed. In both cases, a temporary bridge is placed and a healing period of 3 months for the lower jaw and six months for the upper jaw is expected.

After implant treatment, it is very important to pay attention to oral hygiene. In addition to routine brushing of teeth, cleaning of the implanted area should be ensured by using special dental floss, interface brushes and mouthwash recommended by the doctor. Another important point is to go to follow-ups regularly. The recommended follow-up procedure is to go to the controls every 6 months for the first years and then annually. The most accurate procedure will be referred by your doctor.
