Dentist Dr. Damla Zenar tells about the well-known mistakes about the implant application that puts an end to toothlessness.
Pain is felt in the implant application
There is no possibility of pain in the implant application. Because this application is performed with anesthesia. After anesthesia, the person cannot feel any application. With local anesthesia, the transmission system is blocked for a certain period of time between the anesthetized area and the brain. In this way, any operation can never be felt.
The implant may not be compatible with the jawbone!
The implant consists of titanium alloys. Titanium is the most compatible element with the human body. Over time, the jawbone and the implant become inseparable structures with the studies carried out on the surface properties of this structure. Researches have shown that the success of the implants is quite high. If it is, it should be kept for 3-6 months and for 2-4 months in the lower jaw without a prosthesis to be chewed on it. After the prosthesis loading is applied, the implant has the same feature as the tooth in many ways.
Implants are not applied to people with insufficient jawbone.
Today, thanks to the developing technology and developments in science, melting in the jawbone has been prevented and it has become easier to prevent these situations with additional surgical procedures.
Implant cannot be applied to everyone!
Anyone with good general health (healthy) can be implanted. As long as the person's jawbone has the appropriate thickness. However, smokers should stay away from smoking for at least 1 week. Sometimes, teeth can be made immediately without the need for any waiting, for example, extraction of all teeth. Implants and temporary teeth can be made in the same session in patients who need it.
No bleeding after implant
Bleeding in the form of leakage may occur on the first day. This is normal. In order to stop such bleeding, materials to make a tampon (such as napkin, cotton…) should not be placed on the implanted area. If bleeding occurs, a dentist should be consulted.
Those with implants do not need to do dental care!
After the implant is applied, more attention should be paid to oral hygiene and care. Because gum diseases that may occur due to inadequate oral and dental care threaten the implant the most.
Implants are not applied to smokers and diabetics!
No. Implant applications can be made to both diabetics and smokers. In the section of smokers and diabetics, it is important to choose the right implant for these patients and to plan correctly before and after the operation and the precautions to be taken.
