Planning the Perfect Implant Position
1. Precision 3D Diagnostics
A successful implant relies entirely on precise planning to avoid nerves, sinus cavities, and ensure stable integration with the bone.
Your Consultation in Istanbul:
- 3D Dental Volumetric Tomography (CBCT): The most critical step. This 3D scan maps the exact density and height of your jawbone, allowing the surgeon to select the perfect implant size.
- Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift Evaluation: If you have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, your surgeon will determine if bone powder or a sinus lift is required to create a solid foundation for the implant.
- Implant Selection: Discussing the right brand (e.g., Straumann for premium, rapid healing; Osstem for highly reliable, cost-effective results) based on your budget and bone quality.
Painless and Highly Accurate
2. Surgical Excellence in Implant Placement
Implant placement is a minor surgical procedure, typically much less painful than a tooth extraction, performed by a specialized Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
The Surgical Procedure:
- Painless Operation: Performed under highly effective local anesthesia (with IV sedation available if requested). You will feel pressure, but no pain.
- Surgical Guide Placement: For complex cases, a custom 3D-printed surgical guide is used to direct the drill to the exact predetermined angle and depth, ensuring flawless placement.
- Healing Period (Osseointegration): Once placed, the titanium implant needs 3 to 6 months to fuse completely with the jawbone. During this time, a temporary crown or denture may be provided.
Crowning Your New Implant
3. Final Restoration
After the healing period is complete, you will return to Istanbul to receive your permanent, custom-made teeth.
The Final Steps:
- Abutment Placement: A small connector (abutment) is attached to the top of the integrated implant.
- Digital Impressions: 3D intraoral scanners are used to take a perfect, gag-free impression of your mouth.
- Custom Zirconia Crowns: The in-house laboratory mills beautiful, highly durable Zirconia or Porcelain crowns that perfectly match your natural teeth. These are permanently screwed or cemented onto the implants.
