At Akl Poliklinik, we offer modern and highly effective dental implant treatment solutions to comprehensively address aesthetic and functional problems caused by missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of biocompatible materials like titanium, which are surgically placed in the jawbone. They are designed to mimic natural tooth roots, providing a strong and stable foundation.
With fixed or removable prostheses (crowns, bridges, or dentures) placed securely on these long-lasting, lifelong artificial roots, we enable our patients to regain their chewing function, restore their facial aesthetics, and achieve a confident, natural-looking smile.
In Which Cases Is Dental Implant Treatment Applied?
Implant treatment offers a versatile and effective solution in a wide range of tooth loss situations, catering to various patient needs:
Complete Edentulism (No Teeth): In upper and lower jaws with no teeth, especially where patients cannot comfortably use their full dentures due to excessive bone loss, implants are strategically placed to support the dentures. This significantly increases their retention, stability, and comfort, allowing patients to eat and speak with confidence.
Posterior Tooth Loss: If the posterior region of the arch ends toothless due to the loss of large molars, a fixed bridge can be securely placed on a few implants, offering a much more stable and comfortable alternative to a removable partial denture.
Long Edentulous Spaces: In cases of long toothless spaces where traditional long bridge spans might be problematic or compromise adjacent teeth, the support and durability of the restoration can be greatly increased by placing one or more implants within the edentulous area.
Single Tooth Loss: In the event of a single missing tooth, a single implant can be precisely placed to replace it. This is a superior solution as it avoids the need to grind down and reduce the healthy adjacent teeth for a traditional bridge, preserving natural tooth structure. A single crown is then placed on the implant.
What to Consider Before Getting Dental Implants? Key Factors for Success
A successful dental implant procedure relies on several crucial factors. An implant is an artificial tooth root of a certain thickness and width. Therefore, in the area where an implant is planned, the jawbone must have the necessary height, width, and density to securely accommodate this implant screw.
Bone Quality and Quantity:
Bone quality is a primary factor affecting implant success. Sufficient and healthy bone structure must be present for the implant to integrate properly.
If bone density or volume is insufficient, bone grafting procedures may be recommended prior to implant placement to ensure a strong foundation.
Gum Health:
Furthermore, the gums must be completely healthy and free of disease both before the treatment and throughout the lifespan of the implant in the mouth. Periodontal health is vital for long-term implant success.
Comprehensive Examination and Planning:
In implant application, one of the most important factors affecting success is the detailed assessment of the bone structure. The patient's bone tissue must be thoroughly evaluated through clinical and radiological examinations (e.g., 3D CBCT scans).
Based on this comprehensive assessment, precise implant planning should be done to determine the optimal number, size, and position of implants for each patient's unique anatomy and restorative needs.
