What is the Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium screw system to which a prosthesis is placed in cases of a missing tooth. Dental implants placed in the jawbone serve as a substitute for the tooth root. In cases of a single missing tooth, it is possible to replace the missing tooth without touching the adjacent healthy teeth, and thanks to dental implants, it is possible to use fixed prostheses instead of removable prostheses in cases of multiple missing teeth. In cases of total edentulism, thanks to implants, it is possible to fixate removable prostheses, which are difficult to use especially in the lower jaw, and tend to frequently come out of the mouth.

Placing of prostheses in dental implant treatment takes longer compared to conventional treatments because it takes around 2.5 to 4 months for the titanium structure to integrate with the bone, and, if any additional operations are done on the jawbone or sinus lifting is procedure is carried out, this process can extend up to 6 months. However, the results are very satisfactory and longer-lasting.

What is the Full Digital Prosthesis?

Clinic Hu + Full Digital Prosthesis concept is a process of which the work flow is completely digital, allowing for the dental prosthesis to be attached on the same day of the procedure that includes placing of 4 or 6 implants at certain angles where there is edentulism or the case calls for an approach of full mouth tooth extraction.

• It is the technique of making a fixed dental prosthesis with a single surgical procedure within the same day for patients who are edentulous or whose teeth need to be extracted completely.
• It is planned exclusively from the ground up for each patient.
• All processes are carried out through 3-dimensional tomography and digital oral scanning.
• It is suitable for patients who are not able to use removable dental prostheses and have gag reflex.
• There is no need for surgical incision and suture procedures as in traditional implant treatments.
• The number of required sessions is reduced by 80% compared to traditional methods. It is also popular among patients coming from outside the city or abroad.
• It is expected that the possibility of swelling and experiencing pain after treatment will be less than other methods.

What is the All On Four Implants?

All On Four implant technique is a procedure enabling to fix tooth prothesis on four pieces of dental implant placed at certain angles in patients with no teeth.

• There is the opportunity to apply fixed dental prosthesis with a single surgery to patients without teeth.
• As no advanced surgery like sinus elevation or addition of bones are applied, operation is much easier.
• Period of dental implant surgery is much shorter.
• As number of dental implants used are less and no additional surgical process is required, its cost is lower than classic dental implant treatment.
• It provides an aesthetic appearance and smiling line that is planned individually for people.
• It is much easier to clean and take care of them when compared with fixed dental prosthesis on classic dental implants.
• It is suitable for patients who can not use mobile dental prosthesis and who have nausea reflex.
• Its design is different from full dental prosthesis. As it does not cover the patient’s palate, it is much easier to get used to it amd to use them.
• As number of required treatment sessions is low, it is appropriate for patients residing abroad.

What is the Mini Dental Implants?

Mini dental implants are smaller than dental implants that are excepted as standard. Diameter of Mini dental implants is around 2 – 2,8 mm. In order to improve the adhesion of artificial teeth, dental implant application is made. Especially in old patients or patients with heart, diabetics or hypertension diseases, implant usage could be made without problems.

• They are economical.
• As it is not required to make cutting on gingiva, they are simple and fast.
• After implant application swelling, pain or bleeding won’t occur.
• In the same session patient’s prosthesis is placed on implants.
• They can be easily applied on patients with systematic diseases and on old patients.
