Dental implant treatment restores the aesthetics and function of a tooth by placing biocompatible titanium screws in place of the missing tooth root. The implant forms osseointegration (fusion) with the jawbone, thereby preventing bone loss and improving comfort in speaking and chewing. Standing out for its appearance closest to a natural tooth and durability exceeding 20 years, this method is carried out under local anaesthesia and is widely applied.
Dental Implant Treatment – A Natural-looking Tooth Solution
Dental implant treatment restores the aesthetics and function of a tooth by placing biocompatible titanium screws in place of the missing tooth root.

The Implant Treatment Process
Dental implant treatment generally consists of the following steps:
Examination and Planning
Bone density and missing teeth are assessed with an intraoral examination and digital radiography. A treatment plan is drawn up.
Anaesthesia and Preparation
The area where the implant will be placed is numbed under local anaesthesia. If necessary, the tooth is extracted and the site prepared.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant screw is placed in the jawbone. The procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes.
Healing Period
A period of 2–3 months is allowed for the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration). A temporary prosthesis may be used during this time.
Prosthetic Restoration
An abutment and a final porcelain or zirconia tooth are placed on the implant. Aesthetics and function are completed.
Check-ups and Follow-up
After healing, the condition of the implant is monitored with regular check-ups. This supports long-lasting use.
Advantages of Dental Implants
Natural Appearance
Implants offer the aesthetics and function closest to natural teeth.
Long-lasting
When properly cared for, implants can last 20 years or longer.
Comfortable Use
They offer more stable and secure use than removable prostheses.
Protects the Jawbone
The implant preserves bone structure by preventing resorption in the jawbone.
Comfort in Speaking and Chewing
They make speaking and eating as easy as with a natural tooth.
High Success Rate
With modern techniques and correct planning, the success rate is high.
Frequently asked questions
Because implant treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia, no pain is felt during the procedure. There may be mild pain and swelling for the first few days afterwards, but this is part of the normal healing process and can be controlled with the medication prescribed to you.

Tooth decay treatment is the process of cleaning tooth tissue damaged by decay and closing the cavity with filling material. It is carried out under local anaesthesia and is usually completed in a single session. Thanks to aesthetic filling materials, the natural appearance of the tooth is preserved. This treatment both restores the function of the tooth and prevents tooth loss by stopping decay from progressing. With early intervention, decay treatment is an effective solution for healthier and longer-lasting teeth.
