Advanced Implant Surgery
Tooth loss can lead to many aesthetic and functional problems. Today, dental implants are considered one of the most effective solutions for replacing missing teeth. However, in some cases, standard implant surgery may be insufficient. This is where advanced implant surgery comes into play. Issues such as bone deficiency, sinus cavities, and anatomical challenges require advanced implant surgical techniques, a comprehensive treatment method that includes advanced dental techniques.
The Need for Advanced Implant Surgery and Its Applications
Sufficient bone tissue is crucial for implant treatment. However, if tooth loss is left untreated for years or if certain health problems cause bone resorption in the jaw, standard implant procedures may not suffice. In these cases, advanced implant surgery techniques are necessary. Advanced implant surgery is commonly applied in the following situations:
Jaw Bone Resorption: If bone resorption (loss) has occurred after tooth loss, a bone graft must be applied for the implant to hold securely.
Sinus Cavities: When there is an enlarged sinus cavity in the upper jaw, implant placement may be challenging. In this case, a sinus lifting procedure is performed.
Severe Trauma: In cases of significant jawbone damage due to accidents or trauma, advanced surgical techniques are required.
Gum Diseases: Advanced surgical techniques are used in patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease.
Special Anatomical Structures: When placing implants near nerves in the lower jaw or close to sinus cavities in the upper jaw, careful planning is required.
Techniques Used
Advanced implant surgery involves a comprehensive treatment process with various advanced techniques. The most commonly used methods are:
Bone Grafting (Bone Powder Application)
For dental implants to be securely placed in the jawbone, there must be adequate bone volume. If the jawbone is insufficient, bone grafts derived from the patient’s own bone or synthetic materials are used to increase bone volume.
Sinus Lifting
In cases where sinus cavities in the upper jaw prevent implant placement, the sinus floor is surgically lifted, and bone powder is added to create a suitable foundation for the implant.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 Techniques
These techniques allow the placement of fixed prosthetics on four or six implants in fully edentulous patients. Advanced surgical techniques allow for the quick placement of permanent dental prostheses.
Zygomatic Implants
This technique is used for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Long implants placed into the cheekbone (zygoma) allow for fixed dental prostheses without the need for extensive bone grafting.
Istanbul Implantology and Treatment Process
Istanbul Implantology is a clinic specializing in advanced implant surgery, offering the latest treatment methods to its patients. The advanced implant surgery process is carefully planned after a detailed assessment of the patient’s condition. The treatment process includes the following stages:
Examination and Planning: The structure of the patient’s jaw and bone density is thoroughly analyzed, and 3D imaging systems are used if necessary.
Preparation Process: If bone deficiency is detected, procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifting are performed.
Implant Placement: After necessary preparations, implants are placed. This process can be carried out in a single or two-stage approach, depending on the patient’s needs.
Healing Process: The implants integrate with the bone (osseointegration), which typically takes 3-6 months.
Prosthetic Application: Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, fixed or removable prosthetics are placed.
Advanced implant surgery provides highly successful outcomes when performed by experienced and specialized dentists. Dr. Tolga Gülçiçek, through his work in this field, offers patients the most reliable and effective treatment options.
The advanced surgical techniques applied at Istanbul Implantology Clinic provide ideal solutions, especially for patients with bone deficiencies. This enables patients to achieve a healthy and aesthetic smile, improving their quality of life.
Dr. Tolga Gülçiçek and his team use the latest technologies to offer patients a comfortable treatment process. Advanced implant surgery allows even patients who previously could not receive implants to be successfully treated.
Thanks to advanced implant surgery, jawbone deficiencies or anatomical challenges are no longer obstacles. Modern dental techniques offer patients long-lasting and aesthetic solutions.
