Dental implants were founded by Professor Branemark and served for humanity. Although he was a orthopedist, in 1955, he observed titanium material could be osseointegrated to the bone tissue without any cavity between them. In 1965 he started to the try this new mechanism on the patients. In the end he published the results of his researches in the scientific journals. As a result of them, the connection of titanium to the bone tissue was described as 'osseointegration' and this describtion was accepted in the world.
Durability: One of the key benefits of dental implants is that they are about as permanent a solution as you can get. Because the implants are fused to your jaw bone, they're very stable, and if you take good care of them, you can expect them to be just as durable as your natural teeth.
Implantation without cutting the gingiva and without stitching is called flapless implant surgery. Not every patient is suitable for this technique. Your doctor will make the decision on this issue at the end of your first examination.
Will I feel pain during the implant procedure? Does it cause pain after the implant is made?
Before the procedure, the patient is usually given local anesthesia, and in some cases general anesthesia. With the effect of anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain or pain during the surgical procedure. In patients undergoing local anesthesia, mild pain may occur during the day after the anesthetic effect dissipates. These pains are considered normal. After the procedure, this situation disappears by using the painkillers recommended by your dentist. Mild pains that occur during the implant healing period are no different from the pain that occurs in tooth extraction.
It has been determined that many patients who have been treated with implants have been used for many years without any problems. However, the most important factor in this long process is the patient's care for the daily care of the implant. Like every person with natural teeth, implant patients should definitely consult a dentist every 6 months and have their teeth cleaned.

Even if there is a high rate of osteoporosis in the body, there may be a very good bone in the mouth, or the bone volume in the mouth may be insufficient even though there is a very good bone in the body.
Being toothless after implant application is one of the most important fears of patients. The aim of us dentists is not to walk our patients without teeth during this period. In this period, temporary prostheses come to our rescue. During the recovery period after the procedure, you can use a temporary removable prosthesis or a fixed prosthesis according to the method applied.
The determination of whether the patient has sufficient bone thickness for implant application can be determined by clinical examination and 3D jaw and tooth tomography. In patients who do not have enough bone tissue, this problem can be overcome with bone grafting. For this procedure, sinus lift, block grafting, and horizontal and vertical bone formation in the lower jaw can be performed in the upper posterior region.
It is a leaf porcelain coating applied to the front parts of the teeth by abrading the tooth surfaces very slightly. Porcelain Veneer is an application performed for teeth that are crooked, intermittent, broken, small and do not have an aesthetic appearance such as yellow color. It is a process that can be performed in a short time and the least intervention to the tooth tissue is performed in this method. In this way, the preservation of the tooth structure is ensured. Thanks to their light transmission feature, they are not distinguished from natural teeth and do not change color.
Teeth whitening
One of the most important details we need for a beautiful smile is white teeth. White teeth are attractive to most people because they create the appearance of an evolutionarily healthy individual. Teeth whitening can be applied with the method determined by your dentist. Teeth whitening is also performed at home or in the office with the procedures to be applied by your dentist, depending on the need.
Implant treatment
If there are tooth losses that impair smile aesthetics, they can be removed with implant treatment.
With the Hollywood Smile smile design, individuals are provided with aesthetic, symmetrical and white teeth, and a healthy appearance is obtained in your teeth and gums. In smile design, a more energetic, attractive and youthful appearance is aimed with a correct mouth closure and a half-moon or moon-shaped smile line.
It is the evaluation of the smile shape, in which the relationship of some aesthetic criteria such as teeth, gingiva, lips is interpreted and detailed aesthetic analyzes are included.
The compatibility of factors such as lip level, length of teeth, gingival level, tooth color, tooth alignment, the harmony of lips and teeth when we laugh, and the laugh line, one by one and with each other, is of great importance in performing aesthetic smile analysis.
While designing the smile, the aesthetics of the area formed by the teeth (white aesthetics) and the aesthetics of the area formed by the gums (pink aesthetic) and the ratios of tooth-gum-lips-face size are evaluated. For this purpose, first of all, it is interpreted on the photograph at which level the gingiva should be and which teeth will be included in the design.
Afterwards, the tooth-gingival-bone levels of the teeth are examined clinically and radiographically. Then the treatment plan is clarified and applied if the patient agrees.
Dental veneers are usually applied in the form of porcelain veneers. Dental veneers are divided into two, these are metal-supported and non-metal-supported. For individuals who want a more aesthetic smile, dentists also include more aesthetic treatment approaches. These aesthetic needs bring the use of zirconium-based prostheses, which is a more aesthetic approach in dentistry. Zirconium, which is a white material used in tooth making, is converted into zirconia ceramic instead of pure mineral form and processed in special furnaces. Zirconium dental veneers are from the group of metal-free veneers and offer a more natural appearance compared to metal-supported veneers.
Color tone, brightness of the color, saturation and translucency of the color (light transmission) because they have various properties, they are natural and aesthetic to the human eye. Metal supported prostheses cannot provide translucency from these features and do not have as perfect aesthetics as natural teeth. The biggest advantage of zirconium is that it provides translucency and displays a much closer appearance to natural dental aesthetics.
Biological compatibility
The biological compatibility of zirconium teeth is close to perfect and they can be used by patients for many years.
Durability
Thanks to its durability, zirconium has revolutionized prostheses that do not use metal infrastructure and is used safely by physicians.
Invisalign is a form of treatment in which the patient can straighten their teeth using clear aligners instead of tooth correction with orthodontic braces.
After deciding to start treatment, an impression or digital scan of the patient's teeth is taken. After the x-rays and photo records are taken, the measurement is sent to the center of Invisalign by cargo, and the digital scan is sent over the internet. The sent dental records are transferred to digital media and sent to the doctor in the computer program for treatment planning.
Your doctor makes a treatment plan on your dental records sent digitally. This process may take 1-2 weeks. After the approved treatment plans, the production of transparent plaques begins and the transparent plaques reach the doctor in a period of 10 days, depending on the shipping time.
How many sets of clear aligners will be placed is determined individually in the treatment planning. This is related to the fact that the treatment of the patient is easy/difficult. While the treatment of a person with mild crowding in the anterior region can be completed with 10 sets of plaques, more than 30 plaques may be prescribed for the patient in a treatment that is planned to move the skeletal lower jaw forward.
Depending on the direction of your doctor, 1 set of plaques can be planned to remain in the mouth for 2 weeks, 10 days or 1 week. Thus, the approximate duration of the treatment is determined before the treatment starts. The patient knows approximately when the treatment will end before starting the treatment.
One of the most frequently asked questions is how often to replace clear aligners. Plates should be worn for a minimum of 20-22 hours per day. How often to replace the plates depends on your doctor and treatment planning. In most treatment plans, while the plates are changed every 2 weeks, 10-day or weekly use may be recommended by the doctor as the tooth movements become more consistent. When the specified time expires, the patient starts to use the next set plates.
As each patient's treatment plan is different, the duration of treatment is also different. Depending on the duration of plaque use determined by your doctor (change in 2 weeks, 10 days or once a week), your treatment period will differ. For example, a treatment of 30 plaques replaced by 2 weeks of use covers a period of 60 weeks. However, if you or your doctor are not satisfied with the final situation at the end of the treatment, a new set of plates may be requested; This will extend the treatment period a little more. In a treatment where no problems are seen, the duration of the treatment can be easily understood by the duration of use determined by the doctor and the number of set plates.
Clear aligner treatments are essentially similar to orthodontic treatments with brackets. There is no difference in tooth movements. While pushing and pulling movements can be seen on the teeth in treatments with brackets, the main movement is pushing in clear plaque treatments. In order to make difficult movements in transparent aligners, filling materials called attachments, which are the same color as the tooth and are adhered to the tooth, are used.
The patient changes the plaque at the times determined by the doctor. One set of plates moves the teeth a certain amount and the patient switches to the new set of plates for more movement.
Clear aligner treatments are treatments based on pushing action. The teeth come to the desired places with a pushing motion. However, in order to make some difficult movements, fillings can be placed on the tooth surfaces in the same color as the teeth and in different shapes. The locations, sizes and shapes of these fillings are determined during planning and are often placed at the first appointment. At the end of the treatment, it is removed quickly and painlessly.
Invisalign (transparent aligners) treatments have become more complex treatments than simple treatments over the years.
• Open closing
• Deep closing
• Clutter
• Interdental spaces
• Increased overjet
• Class 2 closures
• Very good results are obtained in moderate and mild class 3 closing treatments.
IN WHAT CONDITIONS ARE INVISALIGN TREATMENTS NOT RECOMMENDED?
• When patient cooperation is low
• In patients with very small tooth size
• In orthognathic surgery patients
• In patients with impaired gingival health
• In patients with severe bone resorption
• In patients with severe temperomandibular joint problems
• Transparent aligner treatments are not recommended in cases that require movement far beyond the tooth movement limits set by clear aligner companies.
In Invisalign treatments, it is expected that there will be a small pressure on the teeth at each new plate transition. Pressure is most likely when the first record is inserted. It may take a few days to get used to the plaques in the cheek and inner lip area, but after getting used to it, the patient may encounter slight pressures that cannot be taken into account. If the patient feels too much pressure in the first 1-2 days, it is recommended to take painkillers.
Yes, one of the patients' favorite features in clear aligner treatments is its easy use. Plaques are easy to insert and remove, they do not disturb soft tissues as they do not have sharp corners, and the patient continues to use their plates more comfortably and safely as they are almost invisible. Oral care is easier as the plaques are removable.
In patients who are not treated with reinforcement, the straightened teeth may show undesirable movements towards the old. As in orthodontic treatments with brackets, it is recommended to install a fixed protective wire (retainer) behind the teeth at the end of the treatment. It is recommended that patients who do not want a fixed protector for the back of their teeth use their latest transparent aligners at night.
Your tooth structure and dental/skeletal problems must be suitable for Invisalign treatments. Your best doctor will decide whether it is suitable or not.
Apart from that, transparent plaque treatments that need to be worn for 20-22 hours a day require responsibility. Fixed bracket treatments may be more appropriate for people who think they cannot wear it.
People who have an active social or business life and do not want the brackets to show when they laugh can have a better treatment process with clear aligners.
