Implant Treatment
What is a dental implant?
Implants are titanium tooth roots designed to replace missing teeth. The implant consists of three components: a titanium screw, an abutment, and a prosthesis. The titanium portion of the implant, which acts as the tooth root, is the portion of the implant that remains within the bone. The abutment is screwed onto the titanium root within the bone and provides support for the prosthesis to be attached.
Today, dental implants are made of titanium. Titanium is a material that has the ability to fuse with bone without causing any allergic reactions and is durable enough to withstand chewing forces.
Who can undergo implant treatment?
Treatment options for a single missing tooth include implants or bridges. With implants, treatment can be provided without any intervention on the adjacent teeth.
Treatment options for multiple missing teeth include implants, bridges, or removable dentures. If implant treatment is chosen, the number of implants required may vary depending on the size of the gap to be filled. Implants can address multiple missing teeth without requiring any intervention on adjacent healthy teeth or the use of dentures.
Total edentulism is the absence of any teeth in the mouth. Treatment options include implants or a full denture (palate). In patients with total edentulism, a fixed denture can be achieved by placing four or more implants at the locations determined by imaging. In some cases, a removable full denture can be applied, supported by two or four implants. Although these implant-supported dentures are removable, they are more comfortable than a full denture (palate).
Implant application provides a more comfortable, aesthetic and functional treatment for missing teeth compared to other alternative methods.
Implant application
Implant placement is a procedure performed under local anesthesia. You won't feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. If you follow your doctor's instructions, you shouldn't experience any discomfort afterward.
Depending on the patient's wishes, implant procedures can be performed under sedation or general anesthesia.
Initial examination: During the initial examination, your general health, oral health, the location and number of missing teeth, and gum health are assessed. Various imaging studies are then performed to assess bone density and quality. This allows us to determine the number of implants, where in the jaw, and the type of prosthesis to be applied.
Implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. During this procedure, implants are placed in your jawbone, and the implants are usually covered with gum tissue before the osseointegration process begins. This waiting period varies depending on the procedure and your bone structure, ranging from 2 to 6 months. If a bone grafting or sinus lift procedure has been performed, this period may be longer. At the end of the osseointegration period, healing caps are placed over the implants that have fused with the bone to shape your gums. After waiting approximately one week for your gums to fully develop, the fabrication of your denture begins.
Success of implant treatment
The success rate of implant treatment is as high as 98%. This rate remains around 90% over a 15-year follow-up period. To achieve this high success rate, patients must maintain implant care and regular checkups with their physician. Another important point to remember is that this high success rate drops to as low as 70% in smokers.
If the implants fail to fuse with the bone, they are removed, the area is cleaned, and a new implant is placed in its place. This procedure may sometimes require additional surgery and may require a longer waiting period.
Implant care and check-ups
Just as with your natural teeth, good oral hygiene should be maintained after implant treatment. While implants and the prosthetic structures they are made on are not prone to decay, infection can develop in the gums surrounding the implant. This infection can spread to the bone surrounding the implant, leading to bone loss and, if left untreated, implant loss. This infectious condition occurring around the implant is called peri-implantitis. While there are various treatments depending on the stage of peri-implantitis, in advanced cases, the implant may need to be removed. To avoid such complications, it is crucial to take care of your implant and visit your doctor for checkups at the intervals recommended by your doctor.
An implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium. These gaps can be closed by applying it to the areas where a missing tooth or teeth are located. Although titanium root implants were invented in the 1960s, they didn't become widely used worldwide until the 1980s. Today, implants have proven their success and reliability and are widely used worldwide and in our country. When asked when implant treatment is appropriate, it's a treatment option that can be applied to anyone over the age of 18 who has missing teeth. Whether it's a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a single tooth, dental implants are a reliable and healthy treatment method for replacing these missing teeth.
Who can undergo dental implant treatment?
Implant treatment is a treatment option available to anyone over the age of 18 who is missing a tooth. Whether it's a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a complete missing tooth, dental implants are a reliable and healthy treatment option for replacing missing teeth. With their high success rate, dental implants have earned a place not only in dentistry but also among the most common treatments in modern medicine.
Individuals with one or more missing teeth are candidates for implants. If the individual has natural teeth in front of and behind the missing tooth(s), a bridge could be an alternative. However, to install a bridge, the teeth in front of and behind the gap must be reduced. In this case, we must perform a procedure on the healthy teeth.
A very long gap or a lack of teeth behind it poses a further disadvantage for both us and our patient. If implants are not an option, removable dentures must be used to cover the gap, which is both difficult and uncomfortable.
For patients with no teeth or those who require extraction, the only treatment other than implants is a removable full denture, commonly known as a denture. For patients with no teeth, we can provide much more comfortable treatment with implants. Implants are a more comfortable and reliable treatment option, especially for patients with a single missing tooth.
Can implant treatment be applied to everyone?
Today, implants can be applied to almost anyone. Surgical procedures such as implants are not appropriate for patients with uncontrolled systemic conditions (diabetes, heart disease, blood pressure, etc.) until their conditions are under control and their doctor gives permission for the procedure. Implants are not recommended for those taking medications that suppress the immune system and for cancer patients (who are currently or have previously been treated) without the necessary tests and approval from their doctor.
What should we pay attention to before having implant treatment?
Öncelikle implant uygulayan hekimin bu konudaki tecrübesi ve yeterliliği oldukça önemlidir. İmplantın uygulanacağı klinik şartlarının da hijyenik ve sterilizasyon kurallarına uygun olması gerekmektedir.Diğer bir faktör de implant markasıdır. Size uygulanacak olan implant markasını öğrenmeniz ve uygulanan implantın, firma ve klinik tarafından verilen sertifikasını istemeniz ve saklamasını önemlidir. Böylelikle hem size ne uygulandığını bilirsiniz, hem de ileride çıkabilecek sıkıntılarda ilgili firma ile iletişime geçilerek çözüm bulunması daha kolaylaşır.
Is implantation a painful and difficult procedure?
İmplant genellikle lokal anestezi altında uygulanan bir işlemdir. Ancak gerek görülen durumlarda genel anestezi ya da sedasyon altında da uygulanabilir. İşlem sırasında bir ağrı ya da konforsuzluk hissetmeyeceğiniz gibi işlem sonrasında hekiminizin tavsiyelerine uyarsanız bu sürecide rahat bir şekilde geçirebilirsiniz.
Çoklu implant uygulamalarında ya da kemik ekleme işlemi yapıldıktan sonra bir miktar şişlik ve kanamanız olması olasıdır.Bu durumlarda birkaç gün istirahat etmeniz ve doktorunuzun tavsiyelerine uymanız önemlidir.
How is implant treatment performed?
One week after implant placement, your first checkup will be held, and the stitches will be removed. After this, the process of bonding the bone with the titanium implant, known as osseointegration, begins. This process takes approximately three months. At the end of these three months, gum implants are placed, and the denture can begin. If a sinus lift or bone grafting procedure has been performed, this process may take longer.
Today, with advancements in implant materials and new techniques, this process can be shortened even further. In some cases, a temporary fixed prosthesis can be attached to the implants on the same day or a few days later. This is called "immediate loading."
What are the risks of implant treatment?
Like all medical treatments, implants carry risks. These include post-procedural discomfort and damage to anatomical structures during the procedure.
Post-procedural discomforts include pain, swelling, and bleeding. After all, implant placement is a surgical procedure, and such discomforts may occur in the first few days after the procedure. If the doctor's post-procedural instructions are followed and the prescribed medications are used correctly, this process can be easily and without complications.
Damage to anatomical structures by the implant is a serious complication. This can cause permanent or temporary damage. To prevent such situations, a detailed examination and proper planning are essential. If necessary, 3D imaging techniques can be utilized in risky areas.
Today, thanks to surgical templates (navigated implants, surgical stents) created using data from 3D imaging methods, implants can be placed safely and quickly. This minimizes the risk of post-procedural discomfort and damage to anatomical structures.
What are the points we should pay attention to in oral hygiene after implant treatment?
Following implant treatment, maintaining oral hygiene is crucial. In addition to routine tooth brushing, the implanted area should be cleaned using dental floss, interdental brushes, and oral irrigators recommended by your dentist.
Another important point is regular checkups. The recommended checkup is every six months for the first two years, and then annually thereafter. This way, any problems in the area may not be noticed by the patient in their early stages, but they can be detected during a doctor's examination, allowing for preventative measures to prevent further problems.
Is dental implant treatment long-lasting?
A correctly applied implant can remain in the mouth for many years, provided that proper care and regular checkups are performed.
Don't Worry About "I Have No Bone"! Advanced Implant Treatment Techniques Applied to the Condition of the Jawbone in Edentulous Mouths
All-On-Four Implant Technique
All-on-Four is a revolutionary technique that allows us to screw the entire dental arch onto just four implants on the same day, without the need for additional surgical procedures such as sinus lift or bone graft in completely edentulous jaws.
Pterygoid implant technique
Pterygoid implants, like the Zygoma, are special implants placed in a very hard bone structure called the "pterygoid plate", which is located in the rearmost regions of the upper jaw, behind the molars, and is not affected by bone resorption.
All-on-six Implant Technique
All-on-Six, a variation of the All-on-Four technique, as the name suggests, secures the full dental arch prosthesis onto six implants.
Subperiosteal Implant Technique
This technique is a futuristic solution that is literally "custom-designed." Unlike traditional "endosteal" implants, subperiosteal implants are placed on the bone, not within it.
Zygoma (Cheekbone) Implant Technique
Zygomatic implants are one of the most advanced techniques in implant surgery. They are used in patients with advanced bone loss in the upper jaw due to prolapsed sinuses or prolonged edentulism.
Robotic Implant Surgery
What is a Robotic Implant?
So, what is a robotic implant? With advancing technology, applications in all sectors are constantly evolving. Similarly, dentistry offers us the opportunity to minimize issues such as patient comfort and pain that may occur during the procedure.
During implant treatment, the gum is first incised to access the jawbone. The implant screw is inserted into the jawbone in the incised area, and then the incised gum is stitched. The patient experiences pain during and after this procedure, and a long recovery period is required. This difficult situation has been eliminated with new methods emerging from advancements in implant technology. One of these effortless methods is the robotic implant procedure.
A robotic implant allows direct access to the jawbone without cutting the gum. In this type of implant treatment, many necessary information, including the location of the nerves and bone thickness, is learned before the gum is even cut. At Vien Denta, we support you with the latest applications for oral and dental health. You can always contact us for support to ensure an easy implant treatment process and aesthetically pleasing, healthy teeth.
How Are Robotic Implants Applied?
Robotic implants are technologically advanced implants. This implant treatment involves a three-stage process. In the first stage, images of the patient's jaw are taken using state-of-the-art technology. During this process, the mouth is observed in three dimensions. This information is sent to surgical guidance systems, and the first stage is completed. In the second stage of this type of implant treatment, we place sensors in the patient's mouth. These sensors allow us to monitor the progress of the procedure on a computer screen. This allows us to both perform the procedure and clearly see the inside of the mouth, minimizing the risk of errors.
In the second stage, we insert the implant into the jawbone without requiring any incision in the gum. In the third stage, we insert temporary dental prosthetics into the patient's mouth using sensors. This completes the implant procedure, and thanks to robotic implants, recovery is rapid. Implant treatment is a surgical procedure, and because the gums are stitched, recovery is slow and can be painful. However, with this type of implant, the gums are not incised, so there is minimal pain and discomfort during or after the procedure. Furthermore, because there are no stitches, there is no prolonged wound healing like with other implants. Our patients recover very quickly.
What are the Advantages of the Robotic Implant Method?
• Implant surgery time can be significantly reduced.
• Risks related to implant placement are eliminated.
• Post-operative complaints such as bleeding, pain, and swelling are much less than with the traditional method.
• Stitches may not be necessary in the surgical area.
• Safer than other implant methods.
• Implant treatment is the least risky among implant treatments.
• It allows for the patient to learn about their oral structure before the surgery.
• Recovery time is much faster.
What are the Advantages of the Robotic Implant Method?
This method has no dental disadvantages. However, the cost of producing molds is higher than the traditional method, as they are more expensive.
How Long is the Healing Time for Robotic Implants?
The healing process for robotic dental implants can vary from person to person. Generally, a healing period of several weeks or months is expected after implant placement. This process involves the body's absorption of the implant and its integration with the bone. However, each person's healing process can vary and depends on factors such as the implant placement location, the individual's general health, and the rate of implant absorption. If you have concerns about your implant's healing process, you can consult your dentist for more information.
Robotic Implant Treatment Prices?
Many variables affect robotic implant prices. These are briefly as follows:
• Number of implants to be placed
• Preferred implant brand
• General oral hygiene
• Jawbone health
• Types of materials to be used during the procedure
• Experience of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon
• The clinic where the surgery will be performed
Is the Brand Important for Robotic Implants? The goal of this method is to ensure the smooth placement of implants in the correct locations using apparatus. Therefore, it is not directly linked to implant brands. However, the most appropriate method is to use the implant brand that the operating dentist will decide on together with the patient.
Most clinics utilize two or three different brands of implants, making it easy to find cost-effective implants. The implant brand preference should be thoroughly discussed between the dentist and the patient before a final decision is made.

Robotic Implant Treatment, Digital Implant Application with Surgical Guide: Zero Error, Maximum Comfort and Rapid Recovery
Are you hesitant about implant treatment? Are you worried about a long procedure, uncertainty, pain, or swelling? These concerns associated with traditional implant methods are now a thing of the past thanks to digital technology, the future of dentistry.
At Vien Denta Oral and Dental Health Center, we strive for excellence in implantology. Using state-of-the-art technologies like Villa 3D Dental Tomography and the 3Shape Trios 3 intraoral scanner, we perform digital implant placement with a Surgical Guide. With this method, we plan your procedure with millimeter precision before you even sit in the chair, providing you with the safest, fastest, and most comfortable implant experience.
What is a Surgical Guide?
A surgical guide is a custom-made guide plate used during implant surgery. This guide is a high-tech, 3D-printed device that allows your implants to be placed in your jawbone at the exact angle, depth, and position planned digitally.
In short, the surgical guide is a navigation system that reduces the "margin of human error" during the operation to zero and guides the physician's hand with virtual precision.
How Does the Digital Implant Process Work at Vien Denta? (Step by Step, Zero Error)
Unlike traditional methods, everything in digital implantology is predictable. Discover how we manage this process with cutting-edge technology in our clinic:
Step 1: Perfect 3D Digital Imaging (Villa & 3Shape)
It all starts with creating a perfect digital replica of your jaw structure.
Villa 3D Dental Tomography: First, we create a detailed 3D map of your jawbone, nerve channels, sinus cavities, and existing bone density using our Villa 3D Dental Tomography device. This allows us to visualize the foundation where the implants will be placed.
3Shape Trios 3 Intraoral Scan: Then, without any impression trays, nausea, or impression materials, we take a digital impression of your teeth and gums in seconds with our 3Shape Trios 3 intraoral scanner. This forms the basis of your denture.
Step 2: Virtual Surgery Planning (Your Digital Twin)
We create your "digital twin" by combining your bone (CT) and oral surface (Trios 3) data using specialized software. Our specialist physicians first perform the implant surgery virtually on a computer screen.
Which implant will be used,
The ideal angle and depth of the implant,
How far away from the nerve and sinus cavities,
How will the prosthesis look most aesthetically pleasing?
All these questions are answered with 100% accuracy before the operation.
Step 3: Production of a Personalized Surgical Guide
This perfect plan, approved virtually, is sent to our clinic's 3D printers. A surgical guide, specifically tailored to your oral structure, is then produced.
Step 4: Guided Implant Application (Fast and Safe Operation)
On the day of surgery, a custom-made guide is placed in your mouth. Our physician places the implants precisely in the planned location, using the millimetric slots on this guide, without hesitation. There's no room for guesswork, mistakes, or surprises.
What are the advantages of Digital Implant with Surgical Guide?
Compared to the traditional method, this technique offers revolutionary benefits for the patient and the physician:
1. Millimetric Precision and Zero Error: 100% compatibility between what was planned and what was implemented. The implant is placed at the ideal point of the bone at the perfect angle.
2. The Comfort of a "Sutureless Implant" (Flapless): In most cases, the guide eliminates the need to cut a large area of the gum (flap lift). Only a small opening is created for the implant to be inserted. This translates to a "sutureless implant."
3. Minimal Pain, Swelling, and Bruising: Because minimal gingival manipulation is required, surgical trauma is minimized. This results in minimal to no postoperative pain, swelling, and bruising.
4. Incredibly Fast Recovery: Because there are no stitches and minimal tissue damage, recovery is much faster than with traditional surgery. You can return to your social life immediately.
5. Maximum Safety (Nerve and Sinus Protection): Since risky anatomical structures such as nerve channels and sinus cavities are clearly identified during the planning phase, the risk of damaging these areas during the operation is completely eliminated.
6. Fast Operation Time: Since all planning is done in advance, the operation time is up to 50% shorter than traditional implant surgery.
7. Superstructure (Prosthesis) Perfection: Placing the implant at the ideal angle ensures that the prosthesis (crown or bridge) to be built on it will be both aesthetically and functionally flawless.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Digital Implant?
Surgical guided implant placement is suitable for almost all patients, but is particularly recommended in certain situations:
Patients who will have multiple implants (Full jaw / All-on-4 / All-on-6).
Cases where the bone level is at a critical level or carries a risk due to proximity to the sinus/nerve line.
Patients with high anxiety levels who are hesitant about surgery.
Patients who are taking blood thinners or who require minimal surgery due to systemic conditions.
Those who want to recover quickly and return to their social life immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Implant Treatment
Q: Is implant treatment painful? A: No. Implant surgery is completely painless because the area to be treated is completely numbed with local anesthesia. Our patients may feel only a slight vibration or pressure during the procedure, but they will not experience any pain. Any mild discomfort that may occur after the procedure, once the anesthesia wears off, can be easily controlled with simple painkillers prescribed by your doctor.
Q: How long does implant treatment take in total? A: Implant treatment is a two-stage procedure. The first stage involves placing the implant into the jawbone, which takes approximately 15-30 minutes for each implant. The second stage is the waiting period for the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration). This process varies from 2 to 4 months, depending on your jaw structure and bone condition. After this waiting period, the porcelain tooth (superstructure) is attached to the implant within 1-2 weeks.
Q: Will I be toothless during treatment (during the bone fusion process)? A: No, you absolutely will not be toothless. Especially if the implant is in an aesthetically important area, such as the frontal area, a custom "temporary tooth" or "prosthesis" will be prepared for you to fit over your implant, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the ossification process. This ensures both your aesthetic appearance and chewing function remain intact throughout the treatment.
Q: Is there a risk of my body rejecting (not accepting) the implant? A: There is no "rejection" (as with organ transplants). Implants are made of titanium, a material that is 100% compatible with body tissues and does not cause allergic reactions. The success rate is over 98%. The risk of failure (implant not fusing with bone) is very low and is generally due to factors such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, or uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes).
Q: How long does an implant last? Is there a warranty? A: Implants are designed to last a lifetime, provided proper oral care and regular dental checkups (every six months) are followed. The implant itself (titanium screw) will not decay or deteriorate. However, the health of the gums and bone surrounding the implant is as important as the care you give your natural teeth.
Q: I don't have enough jawbone (osteoporosis). Can I still get an implant? A: Yes. Thanks to modern dentistry techniques, there's a solution to this problem. If there isn't enough bone volume for implant placement, advanced surgical techniques such as bone grafting (bone powder application) or sinus lifts (sinus lifts) for the upper back region are used to strengthen the bone structure and prepare it for implants. We can clearly identify this need through a detailed analysis using 3D Dental Tomography.
Q: How do you care for implants? Do you need special brushing? A: Caring for implants is no different than caring for your natural teeth. Brushing at least twice a day and regular flossing are essential. Using interdental brushes or oral irrigators, especially around the implant, in addition to floss is highly recommended to extend the life of the implant. Most importantly, you should always schedule professional dental scaling and dental checkups every six months.
Q: Can every dentist perform implants? Why should I have a specialist (an oral surgeon/periodontist) perform the procedure? A: Implant surgery requires specialized training and experience. Success depends on placing the implant at the correct angle and position within the bone, and ensuring it doesn't damage surrounding anatomical structures (nerves, sinus cavities). Therefore, having your treatment performed by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon or Periodontist (Gum and Surrounding Tissue Specialist) with specialized training in this field minimizes risks and maximizes treatment success.
