Are you missing teeth and considering getting implants?
From the outside, it may look like "just a screw is being inserted," but there is much more to it than that...

In this blog, we have compiled the most frequently asked questions about implants, along with real patient experiences, doctor recommendations and common misconceptions.

An Implant is a Permanent Investment (But Not for Everyone)

Although implant treatment is one of the most permanent and comfortable solutions in the long term, it may not be suitable for every patient.
Preliminary preparation may be required for individuals with severe bone loss in the mouth or whose general health status is not suitable.

At Yakup Andaç Dent, we first perform a digital tomography and detailed examination for each of our patients. Not every "missing tooth" needs to be replaced directly with an implant.

Don't despair when you hear the words "bone deficiency"

"You cannot have implants; your jawbone is insufficient."
If you have heard this sentence at another clinic, do not give up immediately.

Because with today's advancing technology, implants become possible for you through methods such as bone grafting (graft) and sinus lifting.

There is a solution even if you have bone loss.
It only requires the right dentist and the right planning.

Do implants hurt? What do real experiences say?

Hastalarımızın %90’ı işlemin sandıklarından çok daha konforlu ve ağrısız geçtiğini söylüyor.

🗣️ Gülcan A. (36):

“The procedure was completed in just 15 minutes. I had local anaesthetic and felt nothing. The next day, I returned to my normal life.”

🗣️ Fatih T. (44):

I think having a tooth extracted is more difficult. I didn't even take any painkillers after the implant.

Dental implants, when performed with the right equipment and expertise, become an almost routine procedure.

Why is the treatment period so long?

Even though the implant surgery is completed in just a few minutes, the most crucial part is the process of the implant integrating with the jawbone (osseointegration).

This period:

• Lower jaw: 2-3 months

• Upper jaw: 3-4 months.

Meanwhile, aesthetics and chewing function are preserved with temporary teeth. In other words, you won't be left toothless.

Cheap Implants Can Turn Out Expensive

Implant prices can vary significantly from clinic to clinic.
But what makes the difference here isn’t just the price:

• Brand of implant used (German, Swiss, Korean, etc.)

• Sterilisation conditions

• The doctor's experience

• Planning process

• Whether digital technologies are used or not

You should choose the right implant, not the cheapest one.
Because a poorly performed implant can cause problems that last for years.

Implants Give You More Than Just Teeth, They Give You Confidence

If there is a missing tooth in the mouth, this affects not only chewing but also confidence in matters such as speaking, smiling and social interactions.

A common phrase among many of our patients who have had implants is:

Years later, I smiled for the first time, opening my mouth wide in the mirror.
