What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium screw placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. A zirconia crown or bridge is then attached on top, providing the closest aesthetic and functional result to a natural tooth. Emriva Dent Dental Clinic in Antalya performs this treatment using Nobel Biocare and Straumann implant systems.

How Is a Dental Implant Done? — Step-by-Step

1. 3D CBCT Imaging: Bone density and implant position are planned with millimetre precision.
2. Implant Placement (Session 1): The titanium screw is placed under local anaesthesia. Duration: 30–60 minutes.
3. Osseointegration: The implant bonds with the bone. Duration: 6–12 weeks.
4. Superstructure (Session 2): A CAD/CAM-fabricated zirconia crown is screwed onto the implant.
5. Follow-up: Routine check at 6 months; implant lifespan is 15–25+ years.

Who Is a Candidate for Implants?

• Individuals who have lost one or more teeth
• Patients with sufficient bone density (bone grafting available if needed)
• Patients with controlled diabetes or hypertension (specialist assessment required)
• Non-smokers or those prepared to quit (directly affects success rate)

Post-Implant Care Tips

• Avoid hard foods for the first 48 hours
• No smoking or alcohol for the first 72 hours
• Brush gently twice daily with a soft toothbrush
• Do not miss follow-up appointments
